[Blackhawkswincup]

I was a little surprised by that and thought 2012 team for a while was up there.. But it turned out 16 games above .500 (In August) was the high point for that team which we all remember fell apart in late September and lost a 3 game lead in AL Central and finished 3 games back missing playoffs

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Lynn having himself a solid game but Sox offense has been mostly MIA again (So many times this year our pitchers have been let down)

1-1 heading into 7th

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sox strand two runners in bot of 7th and now we are into joke extra innings and Twins now have runners on corners no outs

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And Burger just f***ed up and Twins have bases loaded

f***ing disaster

This team cant go a game without doing something dumb

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And Twins get several runs as Sox D and BP blow it while offense was nowhere to be found

A sadly all too common sight with Sox lately

Wait what? Our offense has been on fire lately…

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

A few good games offensively doesn't change the many games Sox fail to score and support starters this year

2nd in AL in runs entering today

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sox lose

f***ing Hahn better get some damn relievers

Crochett is starting to struggle as well now in pen

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

2nd in AL in runs entering today

Blowouts vs lesser competition tends to inflate stats

Sox have been shutout 5 times this year (0-5 record naturally)
Sox have scored 1 run 5 times this year (0-5 record)
Sox have scored 2 runs 11 times this year (2-9 record)
Sox have scored 3 runs 16 times this year (8-8 record)

Sox have scored 3 or less runs in 40% of games this year

In 1 run games the team now falls to 10-12

Alot of gems from our SP staff have been squandered by offense ,, Then the BP has cost them dearly as well

Also as of today the Sox vs teams .500 or better

18-25

This team has a long way to go ,, They need to have a better 2nd half and be playing well heading into playoffs (If they make them)

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Lopez starting 2nd game

And he gives up a single on his 1st pitch

I pointed this out yesterday, but a lot of the games against teams with winning records were in the road. At ny, boston, la angels, and before this past weekend houston with no home series against those teams.

Good teams need to be able to win on road

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah Lopez days as a ML pitcher are well past

The injuries derailed him

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well this sucks

And Foster just got hit with line drive ,, Real lucky there to avoid major injury

The Sox record vs .500 is what is. I can't argue against it. But your suggestion that there offensive output is uniquely skewed, I don't buy. Let's look at the Red Sox (1 game back of Sox as I look at baseball reference, with 1 run less scored).

RS shut out 3 times (0-3)
RS 1 run 12 times (2-10)
RS 2 runs 11 times (2-9)
RS 3 runs 12 times (4-8)

Red Sox have scored 3 or less 1 more time (in 2 more games) than WS. It's virtually identical.

You just don’t wanna give this Twins team any kind of life. You know this is gonna be HUGE for them if they can sweep this double header as far as gaining confidence and momentum. Sox blew their opportunity to win game 1. Very disappointing performance by our team today, had a chance to bury the Twins and build a bigger lead on CLE.

They’re 16 GB in late July…..

I'm a Sox fan, so I understand the fear of the Twins historically, but the Twins are done. I'd imagine they sell before the deadline.

This is the type of thing that can turn someone’s season around though. They’ve been underachieving and have A LOT of talent, sometimes all it takes is a few wins to spark a resurgence. I don’t think they’re gonna come back and win the division but they can get in the wildcard hunt and challenge CLE for 2nd.

I’d much rather we just bury them and keep them demoralized. Letting them steal a doubleheader in our ballpark is something that shouldn’t happen.

[Blackhawkswincup]

At this point I am fine with giving Sheets RF job going forward

Hope he is longterm solution
