Excited to see how the goalposts move again for some people.

Great showing allowing the Rays 3 runs in 3 games, with a couple breaks yesterday we would have swept them. Let’s win the series in Boston with some bombs away at Fenway.

If we face some lefties in Beantown I’d put Pereira in left, Ant at 2B, Meidroth at SS and sit Colson.

Now would be a nice time for a bunch of rumors to heat up. It's been so fucking boring.

Very impressive performance. We could have easily swept that series.

Great job Kay, Beni, Pereira, Vargas!

Why ? No one wins with small ball. It's bombs that win games. Plus Colson hits LHP better than RHP.

Sure wish they had pulled off the sweep but I’m sure we are all pumped up taking the series in Tampa Bay.

I also feel good rolling into Bean Town - they’ve cooled off and have a better record on the road.

We’re playing better ourselves on the road now and Boston has a better record away from Fenway.

Their pitching is a strength but our best will be getting the ball - and hopefully the coaching staff identified a lot of adjustments we can make when facing their staff.

Win another series and then SWEEP THE FUCKING INDIANS!!!! LETS FUCKING GO BOYS!

Just curious. Did the Sox just show they can compete for the ALCS title this year? If they win 2 of 3 in Boston will you believe that?

People are always going to be on Colson’s back… I just ignore their ignorance. Those folks don’t know what we have. 💪🏼

I already believed it prior to this past Rays series. Still think our best baseball is ahead of us.

This is really fucking up our draft position.

We can run away with this division in the next few weeks. Just have to take care of business

Your first place Chicago White Sox faced the best team in the AL with the best home record in the league, and came away with a decisive series W. They have a 37-6 record when scoring 6+ runs.

They outscored the Rays 15-3 over the series. The Rays were lucky to steal the middle game, a couple bloops fall differently and it's a Sox sweep.

Only the 4th home series loss for Tampa this season, and the first in nearly 2 months (June 3).

Kay was excellent over 6.1 scoreless against a team that was 15-1 vs. LHSP coming in. Everson Pereira had a nice revenge/breakout game with a 2B, HR, and 4 RBI.

Mune extended his on base streak to 19 with a late double. That's every game since his return. He's gotten a hit in 10 straight.

Beni also looks ready for a postseason push, nice little .833 OPS over his last 14 games.

Well deserved off day tomorrow before facing the still obscenely hot Red Sox.

Pereira might be the hot hand now and right field at Fenway is Death Valley, it just might be a good time to let Colson recharge the batteries.

Pereira's 2 hits , a double and a HR that accounted for 4 RBI were his 1st hits since April 26th !

Truly unreal pitching this weekend.

Well . . . On the postgame show, Ozzie just said (really paraphrasing here) that going into Tampa and doing this and signing Castillo, the World Series can happen. This team’s ability to win games in different ways, this is starting to feel like the ‘05 team. If they can get a good hot streak going in August or September, it’s time to get really excited. Again paraphrasing, tough to follow, but that’s what he said.

Pitching staff has only allowed 7 non manfred ball runs in the last 46 innings pitched if my math is correct.

That Miguel Vargas play at the end of the 8th was awesome too

Not yet. Sometimes the inexperience part will come out.

As much as we don't like Wil he could be manager of the year.

I guess strategy is not as important as players seem to play for him.

He’s been hurt most of the year plus that concussion really did a number on him.
