Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Indians got raped by Toronto. It appears they're coming down. Now is the time to make a push. 8.5 out I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 When the Sox were 11-22, I said get back to 43-43 by the end of interleague play on July 3rd. They need to go 18-12. Doable, and if it happens, they'll be right where they need to be. Indians are going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Wins like tonight make you wonder why we can't play like this/win more often. Maybe it's cause Mr. Whiff didn't play. I don't want to be too negative, but Lilly in right, Quentin at DH might be a better option than Dunn for a while. Peavy is a mental stud. He should take over as team Rah Rah guy. I've been down on him for his brittle body, but nobody has ever denied he's a bulldog personality. No way Oz could remove him an inning too soon tonight.

But apparently, we aren't the only ones to get pounded around by Jose Bautista and Co. Let's get two more here and it'll be a 5-5 road trip. I can live with that.

I love what we're starting to see out of the three youngsters, Lilli/Morel/Beckham. Great defense by all three and they are starting to hang out some ropes and show some decent plate discipline. Things may not be so bad afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Sox have a ton of games played which means they will benefit from a good amount of off days. Sox have played an absurd amount of games on the road. Nice big win with some good pitching and nice hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be kind of stupid to bat him higher than seventh against any lefty starter however. Has he got his first hit against a lefty? I'd bat him 7th or 8th vs. all lefties if he has to play everyday.

Yeah, a sweep is a bit aggressive, and we did win the first in Toronto and then lose the next three. But we normally play the Red Sox fairly well in Boston, it seems. Dunn has got to get hot at some point. It may not be for another several weeks, but it will happen. And we will benefit from his hot bat if we can get ourselves in some kind of contention.

I don't care what their record is. The magic is starting to go away. They're comi g back to reality. Only question is will we be there to challenge them.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I swear that's the first time ALL SEASON I've seen Matt Thornton throwing downhill. That's when it looks like he's just playing catch, that's when a 97mph heater comes out of his hand like nothing, that's when this guy is good. Where in the f*** has that been for the last two months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking as well. We are 11 or 12 out in the loss column, do you guys realize that if the Indians go 4-6 in 10 game stretches how hard it will be for us to catch them? We need to play amazing baseball. Of course we still play them head to head a number of times. If we totally ruled our division, we could get back in this thing. How many of you are confident we will rule our head to head division games??? Minnie owns us; you know the drill against the rest of the teams.

No, everyone would be declaring the Sox end if they went 4-6 as well. Maybe even if they went 6-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
