June 6, Sox at Cleveland

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another good at bat by Casas.

[FredLynn]

We are going to need this run. Jansen has been very shaky.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Of course I do. The Sox are paying him $16M this year.

 

Ever since he got his 400th save, it's been very rocky.

Well, the 1 run lead is going to have to do.

[FredLynn]

Whip: 1.61

ERA: 3.86

 

Not exactly a lockdown closer

[Maxbialystock]

Sure has. And I've gone completely ape every time he's blown a save and even a couple of times when he didn't quite.

[notin]

Get him out of there Cora!!!!

 

Cora has been so formulaic with his bullpen management. It’s like role is more important than performance…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Cleveland, quit hitting the ball to our SS.

[wyo-sox]

Can't be a great closer and always find yourself behind in counts. He will figure it out!

[FredLynn]

One more

Glad no one is on base with Ramirez up

[Tedballgame]

Sox win!

[FredLynn]

Game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not quite a KOJI, but close enough. Good job. Good win.

[wyo-sox]

BASEBALL IS AWESOME! First inning- I would have bet the farm we get embarrassed and lose the game... Then we end up winning it.

 

I wish we were a contending team.... but if we can stay a 500 team- still very very fun to watch. Great game.

[Maxbialystock]

Paxton vs. Bieber, lefty vs righty

 

Need this one, so I'm glad Paxton is taking the mound.

 

Now wouldn't it be nice if the moribund hitters came back to life? The Sox have 30 wins. Of those, 25 occurred when the Sox scored 5 for more runs.

 

Like I said in the OP, the magic number for wins is 5 runs.

 

Baloney!

 

This took a superb start by Paxton, a great rally by the Sox--aided by the Guardians lousy bullpen--and an excellent save by Jansen.

 

Also some pretty good defense. Ain't that something.

[notin]

Finally. Jansen gets them 1-2-3.

 

In his last 8 games before tonight:

 

8G 7IP 7ER 5H 9BB 9.00ERA .965OPSA

 

Hopefully he’s now turned that corner…

Contending team? No white flags here…

Good post. Somehow the SOX have to be moved into the Central Division.

[Maxbialystock]

Nor with me. Way too much baseball ahead of us.

[guinness22]

Good win. Interrupted by my new tractor finally being delivered lol. Didn’t see after the Sox rally in the 8th. But all worked out in the end.

[Jasonbay44]

Paxton has been very impressive, obviously the biggest thing with him is keeping him healthy, but when he’s been healthy, he’s looked like our best starter.

[Bellhorn04]

My man Refsnyder with another big hit off a RH pitcher.

[Dipre]

Refsnyder needs more playing time.

[mvp 78]

If LHP are going, sure.

[mvp 78]

My man Refsnyder with another big hit off a RH pitcher.

 

559 OPS vs RHP.

[Bellhorn04]

559 OPS vs RHP.

 

But a 333 OBP, which is 13 points higher than MLB average.

That 226 SLG must be just shy of MLB average too.
