Not sure where to put this question but has anyone noticed how bad outfield arms are today? I swear 95% of all throws to home plate are off line and never near the plate. We have scored so many runs on plays where an accurate throw would cut down the runner.
Not sure why Cora would play Valdez over Hamilto at 2B when Rafaela is starting at short.
Hamilton's speed just plays better.

Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Valdez has played much better after the call up. It’s a tough call.
BTW, happy 4th to all!
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Tanner again will be asked to save the pen.
Pivetta throws a 1hit 7 IP and comes away with no decision.
A win is better than a loss especially to lowly Marlins.

Sox are 4 down in the loss column to the Yanks, now.
Thanks, Cincy!
With some games still pending, the Sox are currently 9th in win% in all of MLB.
Is it okay to have fun watching these Sox, now?

Why do clubs always wait till the last minute to bolster the team?
Why don't we just go get a starting pitcher?
Looks like White Sox has two starters available.

Breslow in my opinion has been awful. I can't even blame JH because, although he has certainly placed limits on contracts, especially long and big contracts for starters, the Sox payroll this year is still $182M, 11th biggest in MLB. Breslow made things worse by dumping Sale, continuing to pay him $17M to star for the Braves, and acquiring Giolito for 2 years, one of which is shot, and $38M. Grissom has shown nothing, plus he seems to have bad hamstrings.
However, as I've said too many times, this year's Sox no-names have been terrific. Houck is a true ace and better than Sale, and Duran has the 4th highest WAR in MLB among lineup players. So the screw-ups have not hurt much.
Right now I think Cora is driving the train--he and his excellent pitching coach--which is why Cora has been saying the FO and the owner need to reinforce success by bringing in some help this month. Even an idiot like Breslow should be able to find a deal or two that will help the Sox.
