Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Part of the reason the Sox won that championship was because of Cliff Pollitte and Neal Cotts, two guys that had great seasons that sucked before and after that season. The Sox needed 3 closers that year, most teams that go through 3 closers don't make the playoffs. The dropped 3rd strike, the HBP that was actually a foul ball, etc. Most teams that win titles never have any breaks go there way and certainly don't have any players over perform their career norms, got it. Another brilliant take. You can't even enjoy a World Series that was a no doubter with a dominant post-season appearance, so I guess we can stop pretending that if they won the title this year you would feel fulfilled. You'd likely just call it luck. I'm still waiting on you to explain how you smoke and mirror your way to the third best wRC+ despite not having 4 of your best bats.

hankchifan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Abreu has been in a big rut. No hits in this series. It has been mostly Ks or ground balls on the infield. TA and him have not delivered in this series so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, fathom said: The "injury" is also another reason they really need to add another bat or two. It's unrealistic to think the core 7 stay healthy the rest of the way after they return. This is why on Chucks podcast earlier today they were talking about Story being a better fit incase there's an injury to Tim. Can't have Mendick and Leury both out there in the infield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Mercedes Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Silver lining is hopefully that they don’t take Vaughn out of his spot as much for Eloy. Eloy will be wrapped in bubble wrap instead of playing left field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually read this shit before you type it? If I ever run into you at a Sox game again, that free beer is officially off the table and you’ll be lucky to get a Diet Pepsi and a Super Rope!
