But there isn't a single guy they've call upon other than maybe Nishida and Quero where I thought that's just not a MLB player. Gonzo and Montgomery look like players, in their own way. Even Nishida for what he is isn't horrible, we just have a good depth now to where a .5 WAR potential 29th man is a complaint.Plus Edgar had that walk off against the Cubbies....so that buys him some time in my heart.
4 hours ago4 hr This team wins games that good teams do. They play top competition tough even when they lose, it’s really fun watching them right now.Hats off to Davis Martin, he has been a revelation this season. Dominant
4 hours ago4 hr 4 minutes ago, wegner said:Davis should be an all starBefore tonight, he had the 4th highest fWAR of any pitcher. In the AL, he's behind only Schlittler.
4 hours ago4 hr 5 minutes ago, wegner said:Davis should be an all star11-2 in Davis Martin starts, and one of those losses was 2-0 which can hardly be blamed on him.He and Vargas should be the bare minimum of Sox representation, and at least 3 other guys have a case too.
4 hours ago4 hr Author I half jokingly said I'd restart the winner threads if we sustained over .500 ball. Now it's a bit of a happy burden. And WHERE THE f*** IS @southsider2k5
4 hours ago4 hr Seriously, I can’t get enough of this team! Scrolling Twitter for way too long after fun wins like this.
4 hours ago4 hr Once Sox went above .500, we never sunk back below. Let's do the same thing with first place.

DominantI wouldn't say he's an ace, but I also wouldn't say he isn't capable of what he did tonight. Very good 2nd starter at the very least. Great player to have.27 minutes ago, EloyJenkins said:This is a good team. 2 pitchers and healthy teel away from being legitKinda crazy to think that and we got the number one pick and few live arms and bats still down in the farm beyond teel hoping to heal up for the stretch.

And then we get to add the #1 pick in the draft on top of that.

If they are like 65-57 before the deadline, why hte hell not?

4 hours ago4 hr Still early but the 1977 and 1990 vibes are starting to come into play.Unexpected things sometimes happen in baseball.Tough win tonight.
