Richie Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Astros play Arizona this weekend. We're going to have to take care of business against a bad Rangers team if we want home-field in the ALDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to take care of business against a bad Rangers team if we want home-field in the ALDS. I'm not liking our odds. We're basically 4 games back with 16 to go since we have to be one game better than them due to them owning the tie-breaker. Plus, our play recently isn't exactly encouraging. I think we'll probably end up at 91 or 92 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not OVERLY hung up on it, but it sure would be nice to start out that series at home where we clearly play better baseball. Tough to beat them in that building.

I really hope the Sox do something about their training staff this offseason. Just too many soft tissues issues all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Astros magic number on the Sox is 13 with 16 games left. The Sox hfa will have to be in the ALCS against the wildcard team that knocks off the Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Feels like sweeping this series is almost an essential for the Sox to realistically land the 2 seed. so, let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to win this game after two losses in a row to the Angels at home, which were a big downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Sure would be nice to see the 2020 lineup show up tonight. Mediocre lefties like Hearn *should* have no shot against this Sox lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeLessRob Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 It’s going to come out during the off season that Eloy rushed back from his injury and never felt 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Just throw Eloy off-speed first pitch. More often than not he'll swing at it and ground out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Would it be bad to point out Eloy's career wRC+ is 120? He's a very good hitter but when he was returning from injury it felt like some people were acting as if he's already Juan Soto or something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
