These infield hits are killing us.

True.

I’d rather see Workman go 3 than Andriese go 1.

I meant Kile!

Time for Santana to put this out of reach.

Time for Marwin to show some offence!

I’ve been saying DFA him for weeks.

What’s the longest extra inning game under these new rules?

Yup. Now, I’m thinking we just may pull this one out?

Maybe our pen is doing better than anyone’s expectations because Cora knows what he is doing.

Let’s get some bottom order magic!

LOL! I’m hoping Verdugo and Renfroe have a say about Kike trying to pass them.

Kemp has an OPS over .800. Santana dreams of that.

Let’s get some runs, here!

It’s not going to happen. Book it. Our additions are Sale, Brasier, Houck and Duran.

What would people say if Kike passed Verdugo & Renfroe in OPS? Don’t look, now, but it’s trending that way!

I can’t imagine COVID concerns not affecting the contract amount and years.

I such a short time, too.

What if Santana keeps hitting well? 1.212 OPS last 3 games .785 last 8 games

Amazing! It can’t be a fluke. It also shows how some players can do better under more stressful conditions.

I’m with you, Max! 100%

“Have been” implies past tense.

so many Sox teams from the distant past would have found a way to lose last night’s game. This team finds different ways of winning on almost a daily basis. Call it “mojo,” “chemistry” or whatever, but this season seems almost magical, except that the word magical implies we are more lucky than skilled. Speaking just for myself, I often feel like I get a sense of how the season will turn out by June or July. Unlike many other losing seasons where I cling to glimmers of hope to the last minute, I was one of the first to give up on the 2019 team. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I just got a strong feeling very early that we just didn’t have it in us. I was not overly. Incident about 2021. I projected 86 wins and felt we might compete for a playoff slot if close to everything went right. I called this “a bridge year” where we could afford to play all our bubble players to find out which ones were keepers, or at least come close to knowing about most of the fringe guys and maybe a few prospects along the way. Winning has kept us from doing some of this, but who is complaining. This has been a very enjoyable season, especially coming out of the cocoon many of us have been in for a year plus. I’m liking our chances for a 2021 ring more and more. I’m not feeling like we are the favourites, but other really good teams have as many issues as we do. Winning this west coast trip would boost my confidence even more! Keep the mojo risin ’!

Max is on a roll. I will add that our streak started a bit after the commish mandate came out.

Let’s be honest. I’m thinking maybe one or two posters thought the Sox rotation was even equal to the Yanks, when the season started. It wasnt just media outlets projecting 100 wins for the Yanks. BTW, many stats and metrics show the Yankee starters are doing better than ours. It’s really their offence that has been unexpectedly bad. We knew their D sucked like ours. We knew their pen was great. Ours has been shockingly good even to the biggest homer fans around. Yes, the games are played on the field not on paper, but we all expected the Yanks to be much better than this.
