17 hours ago17 hr Feel like they could conceivably have a chance in most games (minus Kay). Not a bad feeling.
17 hours ago17 hr Win #14 to sweep the Angels and win the homestand 4-2. Date to beat for #15 is 5/20...Pretty sure they'll get there.Nice to see some different ways to win in this series (big late comeback, holding a modest lead, extra inning walkoff). Angels pen helped of course, I imagine they'll have some new names around for the road series.Sox are now 13-12 with a positive run differential since the opening roadtrip.7-3 in the last 10 is the best mark in the division and T-2 in the AL.After being 11.5 GB in the division to close last April, they finish this April 1.5 GB and in 3rd (likely tied, pending the Twins game).13-13 in April is their first full month at or above .500 since June 2023. Also the first .500 or better April since 2021.They were 5-21 last April and that's not a typo. Edited 17 hours ago17 hr by Autumn Dreamin
16 hours ago16 hr Sam's batting stance looks like his is all coiled up and ready to strike like a rattle snake. I am guessing that he has some HR power in there.Hope we sweep the 😇again in CA. Wish I could get out there to catch a game on this road trip. Weather has been kind of blah here. Cold rainy town. Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by tray

Step 1 mission accomplished. Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
16 hours ago16 hr Twins dropped their game in the 9th, so Sox end the day with sole possession of 3rd.After a hot start to the month, Twins are 2-11 in their last 13.
15 hours ago15 hr Like 8 months ago Colson looked like a guy that would never be anything more than a platoon bat 3B. Now he's looking like a legit star 5 war SS.

13 hours ago13 hr It seems like there are a lot more teams not playing well at all. Some of them there were high expectations.
13 hours ago13 hr Great series. They’ve been playing some good baseball and have become a really likeable collection of dudes.

Some of them there were high expectations.For the first time in MLB history there are more Ks per game than hits. I think some teams are really having a hard time adjusting to the TTO LA era -- both sides of the ball. For whatever reason the Sox seem to have finally become middle of the curve on it, after falling drastically behind under Hahn.Some interesting stats: Sox are first in pull percentage, 14th in LA, 13th in barrel %, 11th in hard hit %, and 16th in xwOBA. Everything needs to be taken in the context of the last three years but it does appear that at least for now, the Sox have emerged as simply a mediocre to bad team with no real bad contracts and a solid farm. If things keep going like this, Ishbia will be inheriting a much healthier franchise. One day at a time. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by chitownsportsfan

They’ve been playing some good baseball and have become a really likeable collection of dudes.For the first time in quite a few seasons, pretty much the entire team is likeable. And they all seem to like each other. This still isn't a competing team, but they are a much more enjoyable team to watch.
