Bobby Dee was supposed to homer, there.

 

To increase his bat contact with the ball, it appears Bobby has cut back on his swing. May give him more hits, but less HR's.

Maybe he's been listening to JD.

Odd series with Potentially 3 one run games,2 @ 1-0 ? Tough bottom 9 coming up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When Cora gives a player a day off, you'll most likely never see that player PH. Now that's day care at its finest.

[d-money]

Well this offense left it down to their bullpen. Hope it doesn’t cost them.

[d-money]

Whose coming in here?

[vegasbob]

And one of Cora's inevitable practices. 3 outs to go

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora: "Raffy, I'm sitting you out this game, but I may need you to PH later in the game."

That's a conversation that has never taken place under Cora's management.

[d-money]

Come on man! Get these two outs!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

MLB chUMPIRES; deaf, dumb and blind.

[a700hitter]

They are on a nice run. Keep it going.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fans at the ballpark checking to see if the Dodgers won.

[d-money]

The good guys win again!!!!! Go sawx!!!!!!!! Keep it rolling fellas!!!!!!!

[d-money]

They are on a nice run. Keep it going.

 

Yep need something like a 15 game winning steak although it’s difficult to do lol.

[moonslav59]

One game at a time!

[vegasbob]

I have heard of and seen slumps but the Angels are other worldly. Thank you for the boost to our win record.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Strahm has been good when he gets regular usage.

[d-money]

They’re getting ohtani later on but he has been hittable this year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

They are on a nice run. Keep it going.

 

Are you referring to the SOX or the Angels?

[vegasbob]

So ,Perry Minasian, you're saying it wasn't actually Joe Maddons fault. Nevin loses just as well.

The SOX have assured themselves of a winning west coast swing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Dee, MOON's protege, was this game's hero.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Trout won't be ready to play until Friday.

They need to keep winning. One game at a time but get a long winning streak going. Need it and hope these teams start to lose. I am thinking wildcard at this point.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When the SOX return home, they'll be playing the A's. One can't ask for better than that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Have some consideration for MOON. You surely don't want him to develop Carpal Tunnel from continually starting all these consecutive game threads.

I post using my nose to avoid the dreaded Carpal.

I'll try starting the next thread left-handed, but changing the routine is also a no-no.

Long winning streaks are rare. One game at a time is the key, and even more important is how/why the Sox are winning: sometimes it's the hitting, sometimes it's the starting pitching, sometimes it's the bullpen, sometimes it's the defense, and sometimes it's all of the above.

 

Sox pitching is currently ranked 8th in team ERA and 7th in team WHIP. Batting is 5th in runs scored and 7th in OPS.

 

And thru it all Cora continues his regimen of days off for key players. Raffie sat last night, so Dalbec played 3b, batted 7th, and drove in the only run in the game with an opposite field double that scored Verdugo from 1b.

Don't change. Stay minimal/sparse in the OP.

I stayed right-handed.
