Big one tonight. 3 out of 4 minimum against this team. Go sawx!!!

[TylerD]

Pivetta. Big dick. We got this!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As the SOX approach the half-way point of the season and tied with 2 other teams with the best record in MLB, who would you choose as the SOX MVP right now?

 

This is tough, but I would go with Devers, although I would, as a group, give it to the SOX BP.

[Thunder]

Currently 97 degrees and feels like 106. Glad I'm no longer going tonight

Xander Bogaerts

 

He leads the team in fWAR, AVG, OBP, WRC+, BsR and is 2nd in SLG and dWAR.

Yup, he's having a great year. Btw, you may already know this, but the complete Pedey ceremony is on Youtube. I watched it last night.

Ugh here too where I live. I swear it's a heat wave everywhere... I went in my car a few minutes ago and the seat burnt my back.... Unreal.

I should check it out. Would have been wild to see Ellsbury in real time though.

[Maxbialystock]

A very timely winning streak, but aren't they all?

 

This one, however, comes after going 2-4 vs. the Royals and Rays and during the brand new enforcement of not allowing pitcher to doctor up the ball.

Sox are 48-31, ditto the Astros, but the Giants are 50-28.

 

Devers has the highest WAR, 2.9, on the Sox, but I see the team more than the individuals. I think Cora has the biggest effect on wins.

[Maxbialystock]

Before the ERod vs. Cole caper of 2 nights ago, I opined the Sox were underdogs, and moonslav said, au contraire, it's often the mismatches that provide the surprises. And that proved to be the case. The Sox stomped on Cole, and ERod pitched tough.

 

Tonight Pivetta--and his 6.2 innings of no-hitter last time out--goes against Keller, ERA 6.39. Here's to no surprises.

[d-money]

Hope we get big dick pivetta.

I forgot about the Giants.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does any team qualify faster for a come from behind win than the SOX?

[d-money]

Give up too many hrs. Always playing from behind lol.

[illinoisredsox]

Cue the worry worts.

[d-money]

Come on pivetta.

[d-money]

Our pitchers have given up the hits.

[d-money]

Need to get this out.

[d-money]

Pivetta has to be struggling with s***** location. He has velocity in his pitches.

[d-money]

25 f***ing pitches. Hopefully the guy settles down.

[Bellhorn04]

Rays quickly down 3-0.

[iortiz]

Royals being the Royals. JD s*** the bed though.

 

We have everything in our power to win this. Keller is a bum.

[Bellhorn04]

Our old friend Jose Iglesias hit a 2-run homer off Taillon in the top of the 2nd at the Stadium to put the Angels up 2-1.

[SoxHop]

What is Renfroe's contract with the Sox?

[iortiz]

Rays quickly down 3-0.

 

4-0 and Yankees are losing as well.
