To expand: The Red Sox are 10-2 in interleague play, 8-6 against the AL Central and 8-13 against the AL West: https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/view/vs-division

Just sharing the facts. Draw whatever conclusion you wish ... or no conclusion at all.
-
The Seattle Mariners are 9-5 (.643) against AL East teams (but have not played the Yankees or Blue Jays). AL West teams are a combined 47-39 (.547) against AL East teams.
-
And OBP counts a sacrifice fly (and a sacrifice) as a failed plate appearance. A player with one hit and two sacrifice flies in three plate appearances has a batting average of 1.000 but an on-base percentage of .333.

Like again Friday night after the 36-36 Seattle Mariners shut down the defending American League champs 5-1.
-
At least the Seattle Mariners helped the Red Sox on Thursday night with a walk-off win against the Rays.
-
Time for the Rays to feast ... or not.

Make that 35-17 against everyone else. The Red Sox are 7-13 against the AL West and 30-12 against everyone else. -
The Seattle Mariners, whose Opening Day payroll went from $146 million in 2019 to $54 million in 2020 to $73 million this year, should have as much money as any team to spend in the offseason. Whether the Mariners choose to spend is another issue.

Yep, just as the NL West makes the AL West look bad. That's the point. Entering Wednesday's games, AL West had an 11-22 record against the NL West and a 130-115 record against all other teams. FWIW with the Red Sox loss tonight the AL East falls to 33-38 in direction competition with the AL West this year.

In games against everyone else but the AL East, the floundering NL East is 110-107...(entering Wednesday's games)
-
The Red Sox are currently 6-10 against the AL West..
-
The AL West is currently 37-33 against the AL East and 11-22 against the NL West. If only the AL West could replace the NL West with the AL East.

How much have the Rays (and other AL East teams) benefited from playing their interleague games against the floudering NL East? The AL East have four teams above .500 with a 28-13 record this year against the NL East, including Tampa Bay's 7-1 record. In contrast, the AL West has only two teams above .500 with an 11-22 interleague record against the powerful NL West. AL East teams are a combined 13 games above .500 while AL West teams are a combined four games under .500. How much of the difference can be attributed to the relative strength of interleague opponents? Each division should be competitive this year.

On March 31 FanGraphs had the Red Sox postseason chances at 38.9 percent: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds?date=2021-03-31&dateDelta=

FiveThirtyEight surprisingly give the Red Sox only a 32 percent chance of advancing to the postseason, ranking behind the chances of the Yankees, Rays and Blue Jays: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-mlb-predictions/?ex_cid=rrpromo FanGraphs currently ranks the Red Sox, with a 53 percent chance of advancing to the postseason, ahead of the Rays and Blue Jays: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds

No apology is necessary. I wasn't much different as a college freshman in 1973. We all hope to grow into our better selves. Go out and do great things.

I recall a repeated theme but a quick search turned up this example: https://www.talksox.com/forum/search.php?searchid=579692 Slasher appreciated the posts: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18413-9-18-Baltimore

Despite the presence of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Justin Upton, Andrelton Simmons, Shoehei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have suffered five straight losing seasons (a dubious feat the Seattle Mariners have not achieved in the past 30 years). His writeup suggests that Thunder has graduated from UConn. It's seems like only yesterday that Thunder was an incoming freshman with a forum post that could be interpreted as a tad misogynistic. Perhaps this old fart was particularly sensitive because his younger daughter was an incoming freshman at a public university in the opposite corner of the country. Coming full circle, my daughter concludes her college athletic career Sunday outside Philadelphia with a competition that includes ... UConn. Congratulations to the 2021 graduates.

Kike Hernandez placed on the IL:

Each side has a bias.

Aside from Alex Verdugo, Andrew Benintendi's outfield competition would have come from Franchy Cordero, Hunter Renfroe and Kike Hernandez, who now have OPS+ of 17, 58 and 88.
-
In 35 plate appearances over his last nine games Andrew Benintendi has posted a .419/.486/.742/1.228 line with nine runs, three home runs, six RBi and one steal. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=beninan01&t=b&year=2021

This fan was angry at the Seattle front office the day in 1997 when the Mariners traded Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe to the Red Sox. But not because of the Heathcliff Slocumb trade. On the same day the Mariners traded outfielder Jose Cruz Jr. to the Blue Jays for relievers Paul Spoljaric and Mike Timlin. Unlike the floundering Varitek and Lowe, Cruz had entered the 1997 season as Baseball America's 12th-ranked prospect. In that season's AL Rookie of the Year voting Cruz finished second ... to Nomar Garciaparra.
