No such thing as a must win in early August, but losing a series at home to a team that just punted on the season would be extremely disappointing.

upsoxfan Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think most of you have totally bought into the crap they are feeding you. Just a bunch of mushrooms being told they are flowers. Home field is really important to this team. We’ll lose this one today so we can stay a little closer to the Yankees. I hope Jerry R. Starts to pay attention and wakes up before they fleece him to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I like that Lambert is starting, and Hahn's statement on Friday regarding the objective of managing starter workloads. Andrew played every game the previous week, so good with Leury spelling him a day. It sucks to lose Billy Hamilton, but hopefully Robert returns next week giving the team two quality CFers. Billy will still be valuable in October. Ruiz, Tepera and Kopech are likely the three unavailable today, hopefully Reynaldo continues pitching well out of the bullpen, as the Sox will likely need a couple innings from him today. https://www.baseballpress.com/bullpen-usage?q=%2Fbullpen-usage Go Sox!

This is how you take advantage of the huge lead/terrible division. Yup. They gotta use this time to rest, gel, and gear up for October. Don't get overtly complacent and blow the biggest lead in baseball, but prepare for the bloodbath that will be the AL playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 24 minutes ago, Jerksticks said: I get it. You’re a nervous-type guy, right? This might help- the Sox are going to lose…probably AT LEAST 20 more games these next 2 months. Gotta be able to handle that. And keep in mind they are going to want guys fresh for October. Brace for some weird lineups and some Lamberts The Sox #1 goal is to be healthy for the playoffs. It does us no good if the team is on fumes. Especially in the pitching staff, we are already seeing signs of maybe taking on water. Hopefully this is where Tony's HOF guy experience pays off and he can shoot the gap between winning and not using up every thing in the regular season. If people can't handle that, they need to find a new sport or team to follow for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Really need the top of the order to start producing. TA and Jose have essentially been ghosts in the lineup. We aren't going anywhere if these guys don't get it going. We can't rely on the bottom of this order to keep us competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think it's about time they push all in on Engel if he is healthy enough. He's been hitting RHP just fine, better than fine actually, and with his defense it would be a huge upgrade once Robert starts playing CF again. Maybe to protect Robert you use him in RF and keep Engel in CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
