35thstreetswarm Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 So much for the dreaded end-of-season, five game series that was going to close the gap. Always nice to win a road series, even when it doesn’t matter at all. Gio is looking very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It’s so fun every time Billy gets on base especially when it’s ahead of TA, just seems like an automatic run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWINFan Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Good to see a win without depending on a home run. Kopech still needs to learn how to pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team in the playoffs is going to go too far without some clutch HR games. I'd rather see our guys start hitting them than string together a few singles to eek out runs. Team HR Leader 2021 Season Post AS break Team HR Leaders 1. Blue Jays 1. Blue Jays 2. Giants 2. Braves 3. Braves 3. Giants 4. Dodgers 4. Rays 7. Yankees 6. Yankees 8. Rays 7. Cardinals 9. Astros 7. Dodgers 10. Red Sox 9. Red Sox 19. White Sox 9. Astros 17. White Sox The fact is that in today's baseball in the playoffs it's likely somewhere from 45-50% of runs will be scored by HR's. As you can see from the lists the majority of playoff teams hit a lot of HR's. Since the Sox are among the leaders in team OBP (3rd) and team average (5th) it's the lack of HR's that makes us more likely to lose. The Sox are also 5 least likely team to hit into a DP in case you were thinking the Sox waste a lot of runners by hitting into more DP's than other teams. You especially have to hit HR's against the starting pitcher. Bomb him out of the game with a big 3 run HR before the other team manager start playing match up with his pen. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/double-plays-per-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was stealing 2nd, got himself in a rundown, and then Billy raced home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
