Look at Ray Ray Run Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 So many people coming into this year were critical of the off-season... critical of the rebuild. Pessimistic about this season and the future... This team took the step the front office thought they would when they started putting it together. People have been so used to failure and losing that they can't enjoy the good times; that negative look to protect them from the usual failures overcomes them. Stop... because for the first time in the history of the franchise, this isn't "the year" it's the first year.. the beginning. The beginning of something that other teams look at as a model. Let's Go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get good Gio and Keuchle is getting a ton of ground balls....the Sox have to be the AL favorite. There are enough offensive weapons on this team, they’ll break through at some point. It’s all going to come down to how Gio and Keuchle perform. I agree, especially Keuchel, though it’s kind of amazing how much success this team has had last two weeks on the Cease / Dunning / ReyLo / Stiever days 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It’s also awesome to think about how we will actually more likely than not be vastly improved in 2021 and 2022! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Yoan will be back healthy and we'll have much better production in RF, DH, SP, even bullpen. Gonna be the scariest team in baseball the next 5+ years.

chitownsportsfan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Seeing Eloy that fired up with the "lets go" isn't something I expected from him. Love it. Nice to see from a guy I sometimes feel plays a bit too loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookiesOnRitalin Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Luis Robert has got to get something figured out. He's arguably been one of our worst hitters in the month of September. Currently throwing up .130/.226/.196 for a stellar .422 OPS. The first two months were so good, but he's just been rather dreadful. If Luis or Yoan figure anything out by the playoffs, man oh man we could be frightening. Unfortunately, Luis is hitting horribly and Yoan has been just average. Got to figure out some way to get those guys going especially if we want to do any damage in the playoffs.

Adjusting to the League's adjustments, clearly. It is tough to do that under a time warp in 60 compared to 162 for a rookie. I've got hope in him and Mendo.

tray Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 As someone else mentioned, this series with the Twins fired up Eloy and even guys on the bench who aren't playing every day. The games had the urgency of the play-offs, and we won 3 out of 4. Cody Heuer came into his own as a set-up guy. Colome had ice in his veins. Madrigal showed how to focus and grind out every at-bat. Pito proved he is what we thought he was - the leader of this team. If a few more guys pick up their game,the Sox could go to the World Series...THIS YEAR. There, I not only thought about it, I said it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically have been thinking that about Robert. I don't think he isn't getting his front foot down from his leg kick fast enough and that makes him late on a lot of fastballs. I don't have the video knowledge to compare him to himself earlier when he was hitting and now to see if theres any difference. Plenty of players have a leg kick and seem to get the front foot down just as the pitcher releases the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
