Credit when credit's due.

One of the morons in the FOX booth described the Yankems as an explosive line-up. What they actually have is Soto Judge and the 7 Dwarves.
-
A certified web gem by Devers.
-
JH spent a lot of money for Devers, Story & Gio. Not much bang for the buck.
-
Very economical inning for Cris,
-
This reminds so much of how Devers finished last season.
-
Swinging, in a good way.
-
Yes. Sore wrist.

One thing I failed to mention is that pitchers make mistakes; whether it's a grooved fastball or a hanging breaking pitch. Many times the pitcher is punished for his mistake. IMHO, no one on the SOX hits mistakes better than O'Neill and Rafaela.
-
The Tigers lost today.

Last night there was a discussion here about whether Rafaela was Major League ready. Here's my take. The discussion was based on Rafaela's propensity to chase pitches way outside the strike zone. This has been obvious most of the season, so I'm not gonna argue that. However, Rafaela leads all Major Leaguers in total RBI from the #9 spot in the line-up. He also leads all AL rookies in RBI. Rafaela is batting over .250. So, the argument that Rafaela is not ML ready is utterly ridiculous and I haven't even discussed his top-shelf defense. Btw, at this point in the season I'd rather see Rafaela at the plate with RISP than Devers.

Suarez hasn't thrown any hangers to O'Neill, so far.
-
I really wish some MLB team would hire Youk as a coach. Can anyone guess why I wish this?
-
To paraphrase a couple lines from the excellent movie UNFORGIVEN: SOX: "We don't deserve to be in the PO's." MLB: "Deserves has nothing to do with it."
-
Homer Crawford has given up more dingers than any SOX player has hit.
-
Maury Povich '"Who's your daddy?"
-
It was promising up until the ASB.
-
I didn't believe the SOX BP could give up 5 runs in an inning. Only kidding.
-
I believe that was the Red Sox 3rd loss to the bottom dwellers.
-
MAX was proven right when he posted earlier the SOX would have to score at least 7.
-
Or Cora was saving him for the O's.
-
I guess Kenley wasn't available to pitch a back to back game today.
-
Well, he does possess the best stats of any SOX reliever.
-
Speaking of 2018, there were 3 teams that won 100 or more games. All of them in the AL; The SOX, Astros and Yankems. This season there wont be any AL teams reaching 100 wins. In the NL, only the Phils and Dodgers have a shot of 100 wins, but both would have to finish the season 15-5.

I remember in 2018 I'd posted "Beni and the Betts'' a lot.
