Hanley what a year. He's proved a lot of people wrong, including myself.

We all probably have at least one guy we were wrong about. I liked Hanley's chances to rebound, not this well, but I thought he'd be solid.. now guy I was wrong about, Porcello, I thought he sucked.. Am glad he proved me wrong.

Good team win. Price and company grinded it out.

[Jasonbay44]

Sweeeeeeeeep

Damn back to back sweeps unbelievable!!! Price at times looked a bit off and uncomfortable but he played a pretty decent game against a good team. Can't ask for a much more convincing win!

Me too Jay. Porcello I never would have thought 21 wins. No way. I didn't even think Koji could come back from the DL to be lights out. That ball is moving like 2013. That split looks unhittable.

I forgot we don't even get a day off... right on to Tampa now... this team is goin to be tired as hell. I sure hope they don't over look Tamps. They love to play spoiler against teams in the division

Meh. The real issue, as always, with the next game is the pitching matchup--Pomeranz, who has been lousy, vs. Archer, who is pretty good and was just that the last time he pitched against the Sox.

 

The streak has to end some time, and this matchup could do it. Of course, I said almost exactly the same thing about game 2 in Baltimore when it was ERod against Gausman, and ERod was great and the Sox pummeled Gausman for 5 runs.

 

The rotation wasn't that great in the first four games of the streak against the Yankees, but the deep bullpen and timely hitting still produced a sweep.

 

Tiredness could be an issue, but, again, this team has played an awful lot of games in August and September and seemingly thrived. August 12-25 the Sox played 3 straight at Fenway against Arizona, then, without a travel day, played 1 in Cleveland, 2 in Baltimore, 4 in Detroit, and 4 in Tampa. They went 10-4 with the 4 losses coming in splitting the 4 in Detroit and the 4 in Tampa. Right now the Sox have the best road record in MLB, even better than the Cubs, who have the best overall record.

Now we have a realistic shot to get to 11 straight, but I'm getting the feeling that the Rays, being the pain in the ass they always are, will find a way to win one game this weekend.

taking a knee is somehow appropriate. Take two.

 

ahahaha. good stuff.

[Slasher9]

I couldn't tell for sure but it looked like he barehanded Hanley's toss

 

yup. great play by a "pitcher". dude is definitely an "athlete"....

[Slasher9]

[Slasher9]
