People kept calling the Baltimore series an easy series, but the next 19 are all against teams that are worse than Baltimore (Texas is the best team with a record of 43-51). So make a prediction on how the Sox fare over these 19 games. Feel free to add where you think that puts us in the division on August 15. For reference, this is who the Sox will play: @ Colorado (2) Oakland (3) Kansas City (3) @ Texas (4) @ Kansas City (4) Detroit (3) The trade deadline is on Aug. 2 . which is the 2nd game of the KC series at home. I would suspect a revitalized team if the Sox pull off some trades that gives the impression to the players that the front office cares. These games should put the Sox over .500 permanently for the season. So much as I don't know what will happen I'll say 13-6. I should add the caveat that without Robert we are doomed.He needs to be back on the field as soon as the IL stint is over with whatever his problem is, solved.

That is why I thought it was so crucial to keep the foot on the gas and go for the home field advantage last year instead of rest guys for October or whatever they were doing. Every year's team is different and you have to play to their strengths. One year later and they suck at home. They hit more homers last year. Homers are key to winning at home and not giving away our homer friendly home advantage to the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to go 4-1 this week to ensure this could be a possibility depending on revenue projections. Would peg them at 11-8 without significant help, 14-5 with 2+ significant acquisitions. A good everyday lefty outfielder is the most important need by far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They win every road game and lose every home game. Fortunately, you were wrong Boston beats Cleveland 3-1. Not easy to win as visitor at Fenway. Guardians didn’t play a good game, sloppy D, misplayed balls off the Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be laughing with you but I haven't seen anything from this team to make me believe otherwise, time for them to put up or shut up.

I think we’ve seen some encouraging signs: - Before Giolito shit himself last outing ( which had a lot of soft contact ) he had a good 3 or 4 game run looking like he was back. - Lynn looked great last outing. - Cease is being Cease. - Cueto isn’t showing signs of slowing down. - Eloy is dropping bombs. - Grandal is back providing some balance to the lineup. There is a way to look at the past couple weeks and see them potentially turning a corner… finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need this offense to wake up and go on a run, but to my previous post....nothing this season has shown us that might happen anytime soon.

greg775 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 8-11 or 11-8. Could go either way. Don't think this unit is capable of better than 11-8 in any 19-game stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I want to say 12-7 with a chance at 13-6 but this team has brought the pessimism in me so 10-9 with a chance at 9-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 11-8. But it needs to be 14-5 or so. Need to have a great stretch a time or 2 per season, and if not against these opponents, then when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although streaky relievers are normal but I like when they streak on the good side ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, nope… but they’re starting to turn the corner. We still haven’t seen them firing all season and I sure hope we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 5-2 is pretty important this week, but more than that, the Sox have to put two good months together starting Tuesday. 1/3 of the season left, they need to put up a couple 16-11 months to get to 87 wins. That should get them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
