tonyho7476 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:49 AM) Sox season: 10-6 7-15 14-2 5-11 Time to start another hot streak, like 55-37. I'm with you. Let's win 5 in a row before heading to New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/...g-leaders.shtml We have the 1, 2, and 10 in WAR for pitchers, and apparently 2 and 3 among all AL players (Brett Lawrie???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The schedule for the next few weeks is Road intensive. After today's game, we are on the road for 6, home for 6, All Star break and the on the road for 10. Back home for 3 and back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to have to play better at home to have a realistic shot. I think they will. Ventura is even better than I imagined. There is something about quiet yet intense guys.

Speaking of that, I think Dunn, Konerko, Peavy, and Sale will all be going to KC. When is the last time the Sox had 4 All-Stars? Every year they get 1 in and they're scrapping to get a 2nd in, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanGraphs doesn't like our pitching as much since Peavy and Quintana's FIPs aren't nearly as good as their ERAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do, and I think it's a terrible rule. You want to see the guys w/ the most power in the HR Derby, not the all-around good hitters who happen to hit HRs too.

balfanman Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I personally wish it were possible to have zero representatives at the All Star game. I'd prefer that our players had the time off, especially the pitchers. But Sale and Peavy have just been too good........dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Want to get viewers for the ASG? Let Dickey pitch all 9 innings for the NL. I want to see the AL's best hitters trying to hit that damn knuckleball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Week ahead: Peavy vs Liriano Floyd vs Hendriks Sale vs Blackburn Axelrod vs Nova Quintana vs Sabathia Peavy vs Kuroda Floyd vs Hughes Rangers series, so far: Sale vs Oswalt Axelrod vs Lewis Quintana vs Harrison Unless the Sox adjust their rotation, Sale will pitch the Sunday before the break.

CLE has a very tough stretch coming now too, right? Survival mode. 5-5 or 4-6 is fine. 3-7 is survivable, although far from ideal.....not disastrous in 2012. That might still even leave us in first or close to it. Tigers have a chance to make up some more ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, actually 1/3 games left are against KC and Min. If 88 games wins the division, 50-40 the rest of the way can be broken down this way: KC 9-6 Min 9-6 Det 5-5 Cle 3-3 Bal 2-2 Bos 2-2 NY 4-3 TB 2-2 Tor 4-3 LAA 3-3 Oak 2-1 Sea 2-1 Tex 3-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
