I'm in the same boat as you. Worse yet, one of my best friends is a Caps fan, another is an Eagles fan, and I went to college in Boston so I know a bunch of Sox fans. I just want to crawl in a hole.

With the Eagles and Caps, it's a little different. Both teams were legendarily snakebitten and Philly/Washington DC hasn't exactly had an embarassment of riches when it comes to winning titles.

I would have been perfectly fine seeing them stay legendarily snakebitten. Especially the Caps. f*** those people.

That AlCS was the WS basically. Boston is gonna mop the floor with the NLCS winner.

If only Stanton didn't choke under pressure.

Sucks for the Astros.... That Altuve HR in game 4 should have counted (the ball was in the stands and fair play imo). Who knows how that game would've ended if it did.

Unless half the Red Sox team gets injured in game one Boston has already won this. I can't see either NL team even making them uncomfortable let alone winning 4 games. Even then I'm not so sure

Really sucks to see all these teams getting huge timely hits with 2 outs and RISP. Yankees aren't winning jack shit with their current HR or nada approach. The mentality of the entire team needs to change

Cashman doesn't think anything is wrong. He needs to wake up or this team is winning jack shit.

Seems to me Cashman is convinced it's bad luck and he's just waiting for us to get hot with the longball in October.

It may happen but I don't think it gives you the best chance to win.

The longball/OBP method is a recipe for disaster. Because that method includes a lot of swing and miss and less gap to gap hitting.

How about firing Thames and giving someone else a go. #Joke

There's nothing wrong with homers. The Red Sox hit them all the time.

It's the complete inability to adjust.

Yeah if you look at the teams that are at the top in OBP, and the teams at the top in HR, there's a pretty high correlation with winning. The guys just need to be able to change their approach at the plate when the circumstances dictate. Slap it the other way, move the runner over, make sure to get it in play to get the run home, etc. You can't go up there exclusively hitting A for the Power Swing.

Everything I read here is that they're planning on being competitive next year. They'll try to bring back Harper, but even if they can't they still like their OF and will just spend their money elsewhere.

But, you never know.
