June 1Jun 1 Really seems this years team as a group is really cohesive and banding together. New players and current ones seems to be buying in. Players that are hurt want to stay with the team while trying to rehab. Also its the next man up mentality that keeps them going and trying to win. Everyone seems to know what they need to do and help contribute. There might not be many big stars on the team but its a different players helping to step up and win each night. They also seems to be having fun and enjoying playing with each other.Its definitely refreshing after the rebuild of the rebuild this time around. Edited June 1Jun 1 by Whisox05
June 1Jun 1 Everything's roses now. But wait to see how the "Culture" holds when going through a streak losing 8/10 or 14/20. Because that will happen.

Because that will happen.How about the last couple years of setting record losses. How about the last road trip they struggled and came back to go 6-1 record. 5 games over .500 in how many years. Not saying this can last but we never thought they would be here now. Maybe another year to start winning would have been thought of. Tho June will be a test for them.

June 1Jun 1 4 minutes ago, GreenSox said:Right - first week.We have a bunch of talented young players who are playing well. That's the "Culture."The Sox then followed that up by a 2-8 run. They're young guys, so there aren't a lot of veteran egos who are ready to throw hands over hot tub time. You can see the camaraderie right on the field, unlike 2016 with Jose Abreu stiff-arming an over-exuberant Brett Lawrie smooshing for a hug.
June 1Jun 1 All we can say right now is the Sox are 32-27. No clue what will happen in June, they could fold or they could continue to surprise us. Culture is always better when you are winning, so I hope they keep winning!
June 1Jun 1 It didn’t come out of nowhere this year. You could see it developing in the second half of last season. That team still lost a lot of games, but you could see the guys buying in. I agree we need to come up with some catch phrases. New ones.

At least Balta never acted that way. I guess insulting Tray has gotten boring for everyone, so recycling through your tried and true targets.So you win the internet today, congrats.Whatever!Heard the same exact crap for twenty years, what's another twenty?
