I don't care what his upside is, we should have more than one hit through 5.
Same shit happened Sunday.

His "upside" is an ERA over 4.00. Jalen Beeks had an upside of an ERA close to 6.00. We haven't been hitting against the guys we need to..ptt81 said:
But that doesn't compensate for our pitching. If we pitched last night we would have won. Eovaldi wasn't great and it's time to step up without Sale. Offense isn't going to win games for us. Pitching will.

I'm not arguing that. Same goes for Allen. He hit his second bomb of the year last night and that proved to be the difference.

So we lose 3 games in a row for the first time in 4 months.
We are the only team that hasn't lost 4 in a row.
Tomorrow we play against another great pitcher in Carrasco. He has a history of beating us. I don't even know who's next in the rotation but I guarantee it's not someone better than Carrasco.
If we lose tomorrow, Cleveland goes for the sweep. And Clevinger isn't a bad pitcher either.
They've been under the radar all year and underperforming the whole first half, but Cleveland is legit. They have a solid team.

Its BJ
Yeah not ideal. Only chance is if the bats swing. At least Thursday is favourable.

Thursday might not even be favorable if it's Clevinger. He's a beast. Very underrated but very good pitcher.
I would hate to play this team in the postseason. I might even consider playing the Yankees before the Indians because the Indians are just plain nasty.
You match up Sale to Kluber and it's heads or tails. Whoever wins that gets an edge.

I'd take Porcello over Brian Johnson any day. Can't stand that guy. He hasn't been too bad his last few starts, but he's ready to blow up any day..ptt81 said:
Yankees only 8 games back. I'm serious. They still have time to catch us if we don't get our game together.

Khris Davis is the real mvp
Obviously wont win
Obviously wont win
Oakland is MVP. Not a single player on that team is MVP or Cy Young worthy, yet they win with every pitcher under an ERA of 4.00 and every batter ranging from .240 or .270.Mexi said:
That's teamwork and timely productive hitting and pitching.
Here's one for Mexi.
The Red Sox's success is as much an anomaly as the Dodger's success last year. Although we are capable of winning 100+ games, we are still playing way over our heads, as the Dodgers did last year.
I see us as a 90-some odd win team who has gotten a lot of luck and isn't any better than Houston, Cleveland, Oakland, or even the Yankees.
The playoffs will expose us for who we really are.

I actually agree with his post lol
The Sox have gotten lucky. Maybe not lucky, but they've been fortunate and aren't any better than Cleveland or Houston
(Yankees are overrated)
And the dodgers got red hot last year and I've cold (lost 17/18 in Aug/sep remember)
And the dodgers still won 104 I think. They were stupid hot but also really good. Just stopped hitting in game 7
