We just needed to look competent during this stretch and I'd say we were despite how grueling and frustrating some of the losses were.

joejoesox Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Blue Jays are good, I see them making the playoffs in the next couple years, the Rays can't keep dominating the East can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can see how much more deadly the offense is with Eloy and Robert back, which is a great thing. The bullpen, well, there's some time to get that shit straightened out thankfully.

As always, depends on pitching. Not easy to replace Ray and Semien. TB isn't going away and Red Sox will have Sale for an entire season.

That division is still New York's and TBs imo. Semien is a huge loss, he's a legit MVP contender and losing him alone moves them down about 6 projected wins.

Robbie Ray is gonna be a great pickup for whoever signs him, I see him getting a similar deal to the one Lynn signed, probably an additional year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Relieved to see the win after the Jays got close. Nice to see the bullpen get three clean innings to finish the game. But really should have swept Toronto. And you shouldn't have to sweat a game like this. Maybe Kimbrel should be the closer. Regardless, with the talent they have, the Sox should be better.

Harry Chappas Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Bad luck and bad play Saturday gave Tampa that game. Sunday just plain sucked. Other than that, I believe the opposing team got a save in the other 5 losses so they were right there. Some here maybe me a little feared the lead would be 5 after all of this. Well it is 9 or 10. A tough little stretch mid month in September but there are a lot of off days the rest of the way. The starting pitching handled Toronto in Toronto. SOX Win!

The starting pitching was the most encouraging thing about this series. It helps overcome many problems. They needed this last win. Blowing a lead like that would have been devastating. Those last three innings by the pen really did it for me. Then the Eloy home run. There is something about an Eloy home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
