Still have a series against the Jays and two against HOU. Can make up ground then.

We could even catch the Rays, if we ever could figure out how to beat them "head-to-head."

Winning these games against the bottom feeders of MLB can help to build some winning momentum for the tougher opponents to come. The team gets on a roll and plays with a lot of confidence. Very important in any endeavor.

Even serial killer?

Their best pitcher against us was McClanahan and their best hitter was Franco.

 

That riddle might be solving itself…

I know Devers is a renowned bad ball hitter , but he carries it to extremes and makes outs without giving himself the best opportunity.

[vegasbob]

9 up, 9 down, nice clean box score--perfect game !

[vegasbob]

Of course, Chavis would go deep on them. Wait until the Dodger games where Kike will get his due.

[FredLynn]

Duran would have had that

[FredLynn]

Devers has been a disappointment. Definitely not earning his big contract.

Right now Devers is just a bad hitter, period.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox “hitters” aren’t. Swingers and/or observers, maybe.

Starts next year, but I know what you mean.

I heard recently that whichever team signs Ohtani will have to go with a six man rotation. That's Ohtani's own requirement.

Pass on this. He won't last long both pitching and hitting.

He could have 100 BB's easily this year if he was patient and not swing for the fence on every pitch.

I'm pretty confident that after Devers retires he won't become a hitting coach.

[Tedballgame]

Cy Young is mowing down the Sox tonight.

[Tedballgame]

Refsynder with the rally killing DP.

[vegasbob]

Time for another late inning comeback vs Nats pen

[FredLynn]

Refsynder with the rally killing DP.

 

Refsnider has had his moment in the sun.

He’s a backup and shouldn’t be playing regularly against anyone

[Tedballgame]

Story with the rally killing DP.

Refsnyder, the presumed greatest righty bat ever against lefty pitchers, is vastly overrated. The telltale on him is that Cora doesn't let him hit against righties, whereas almost all good righty bats can hit lefties and righties.

[Tedballgame]

Sox offense is lifeless tonight. Doesn't look good for a comeback.

Which is why he shouldn't have been given a contract longer than this year. Guys like him are a dime a dozen.

[vegasbob]

Very winnable game which is slipping away. Gore pitched well enough, but his season numbers indicated that a good hitting team would have got to him. The inconsistency continues.

I don’t think his 1 year $2mill extension is going to handicap the payroll in 2024…

[Duran Is The Man]
