April 24, 20169 yr Coming into this game Texas was a top 10, maybe even top 5 (I dont buy top 5 personally) team in baseball. They are no longer. Sox took their first serious opponent and swept them, keep it going into TOR and BALT.

April 24, 20169 yr 13-6 and 5-2 on the week. Great rebound after struggling vs. the Angels. To do it against a team that came in red hot is even better.
April 24, 20169 yr Remember those people mocking the Latos bonuses in his contract? Not looking too bad now. He's the Cy Young through 4 stars and while that is unrealistic, he could be an all star.

He's the Cy Young through 4 stars and while that is unrealistic, he could be an all star. His numbers will come back down to earth eventually. His xFIP is near 5 right now. The BABIP and HR% on fly balls will normalize. I think we saw some of that today. He's not gonna have his A+ stuff every start, but as long as he keeps us in the game, that's more than good enough.
April 24, 20169 yr I want to believe, they are starting to show me something. Let's see how they do off the road trip. Four extra base hits today was a very good sign, if you can't get a ton of hits at least make the ones you do get count for something. Lock down pitching today all across the board. Very, very nicely done. Mark

Let's see how the pitching holds up.

April 24, 20169 yr It should also be pointed out Manager of the Year is a dumb award. Always has been.

I will say I haven't seen many head scratching moments this year... Today I thought they almost gambled to long with leaving Latos in too long. But he got that nice double play.

But if they would have replaced him and they played exactly like they have, it would have been pointed out as proof positive he was an idiot. I just can't wait until,the offense actually starts firing. There have been signs the last few days.
