"Mis" kind of makes a big difference...when you have the clear best pitcher in baseball.

Cleveland is best described as a solid rotation and pen and an offense starting to find itself gsin versus lesser competition.

Miz is their Haaland. It's like having a cheat code.

I reiterate this but anybody who thought the cubs would catch the brewers this year were out of their minds. You cannot drop multiple games in a row and expect to catch a team like that this is so well drilled and basically working from muscle memory about what they have to do down the stretch.

Brewers should have paid up for Skubal and gave themselves a lockdown 1-2 punch in the playoffs.

Weren't willing to part with Jesus Made or their other talented MI prospect..

I sure hope so. I don't know which to choose. I'll say yes very hesitantly because I don't think any of the Wild Card contenders (excluding Cleveland) are any good. I guess the most likely option of the three is they take the last wild card spot, but I wouldn't be shocked if they fell out of the playoffs. The starting rotation is as bad right now as Ive ever seen it. Blowing a 4.5 game lead in a month is hard to do but not THAT hard. The Sox have done it before.

Guardians pulling away from the pack with the wild card is probably a good thing for our overall playoff chances.

yes we're up to near 80 percent now on FG. we just need to get to 84 and we're likely in.

Yeah, that's definitely what I was hoping for.

I'd be slightly angry because Getz made the team worse at the deadline. He went for players that are under control vs rentals who are good. The disastrous deadline would make it a harder pill to swallow.

Worse how ? What metric are you using to come to this conclusion ? At the trade deadline the Sox had a 3 game lead. It's 2.5 now while Cleveland has won 7 in a row against 2 of the worst teams in baseball.

Davis Martin hasn't got a single win since the TDL with an ERA of 14.63 in 3 starts

21 games since the TDL Murakami is hitting .141, 280 OBP and .372 slg. Colson Montgomery .566 OPS since TDL

Burke in 5 games is 4.74 ERA and 5.60 FIP . Castillo 4 games 5.89 ERA but a FIP of 5.37 so while none of that is good the FIP is slightly better than Burke and much better than Martin

Right after the TDL the Sox went 0-4 but since then 11-7 so maybe your early impression after the TDL skewed your thinking.

So .500 since the TDL while their 2 best starting pitchers and their best HR hitter and 3rd best HR hitter all have slumped.

Also Sox 1st reached 7 games above .500 July 21st and are still 7 games above .500 but they've basically been a .500 team for 3 months.

They've done what they have done all year which is pick each other up. Highly doubt any of the acquisitions have made enough contributions for anyone to prove they are a worse or better team now .

They were 18-10 in May. Since then 36-35.
