Expand If the Sox sweep, the Pirates sweep the Reds, and the Angels lose 2 to the Astros, Sox drop from 10 to 12.

Baker Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I believe any games not played this weekend works against the Sox. That would take away the tiebreaker advantage the Sox have against every team. Hope they get all 4 games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Any talk of “tanking” to get a better pick in the draft is inappropriate at any point in the season. It is an insult not only to the players and the organization but the fans as well. Go Sox! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
