5/15 vs Houston

[Maxbialystock]

The Sox are one of very, very few MLB teams with 8 relievers, but it's pretty obvious why.

O'sullivan DFA. Not shocked.

He's a "dependable guy" apparently. Yes, we can all depend on him to give up five runs a game.

[Dojji]

He earned another chance based on his prior start, got it, and didn't convert. Oh well.

Well said.

 

I'd love to think the hitting can carry us........ I'd love to think that.

[Dojji]

Not sure what people were expecting. The guy's a Jevin Jarvis/Kyle Snyder/Devern Hansack type, you're never going to get much more than what he gave us from a spot that low on the pitching depth chart.

[a700hitter]

I love all these runs, but 8 runs should be enough to win on any give day. DD needs to shore up the pitching for when the offensive slump comes.

Too bad RS can't play Atlanta, Houston, Oakland, and NY through the rest of the season, and that the post-season (should they get there) might have some over .500 teams.

What's the White Sox's record?

That's what happens when you pick up Clay's option.

The only team with more wins than the Red Sox is the Cubs. They are playing every club well.

[mvp 78]

Also, you can't beat the Mariners if they aren't on the schedule yet.

Well, the SOS (Strenght of Schedule) of BOS and BAL is -0.2 thus far, while TOR is 0.4 (highest in The AL) TBR 0.3 (2nd) and NY 0.2 (3rd).

 

On the other hand BOS's SRS is the best in the AL, it is 1.4.

Also CHC's SOS hasn't been that tough either, it is -0.1.

Buchholz and Price both have 8 starts. Price has pitched 48 innings and Buchholz 45.2 innings. Wright and Porcello both have 7 starts and have pitched 45.2 and 46.1 innings.

 

So the average innings/start for all four starters are 6 innings for Price, 5.7 innings for Buchholz, 6.5 innings for Wright, and 6.6 innings for Porcello. That looks like a pretty tight shot group to me. How about you?
