Soxfest Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) Always seems we have to roll into Detroit on a tail end of a road trip. Hopefully they don't look as worn out/exhausted this time around. With Guthrie facing the Tigers tonight there is a very good chance we will be in Detroit tomorrow w/ a 2 game lead. Hopefully Peavy can come up big for us. Does seem Sox always finish a roadtrip with weekend series in Detroit alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunofgold Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Tiggs could falter in September. Maybe tired from last years playoff run. Not counting on it but it could happen. Wild card teams will be at a disadvantage this season however the Wildcard game Winner gets the first two games at home. That Helps a little. Little bit of a disadvantage of being the #1 seed. This year only. Being #2 seed might be where it is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hey stat lovers ... it seems to me the Sox almost always suck in 4 game series on the road. What is the Sox record in 4 game road series compared to other contenders? Except for Seattle or somewhere like that, don't the Sox always faceplant in 4game road series? A split in a 4-game road series is cause for a parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that adds up to 11-17. I wonder how other teams would fare in a similar stretch. Probably just a couple games better is all. The 2-6 vs. baltimore is pretty s***ty.

flavum Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Get used to more 4-game series next year. Based on the phillies schedule I saw, there will be 19 games against the division teams, so one of those series will be 4-game. There will be 11, 4-game series, including one that's 2 home/2 away against the Cubs. Edited August 30, 2012 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing just awful baseball of late. Hope it doesn't come out later that he was concerned about his future and next contract negotiation looming in the offseason...as the reason why he's struggling now so much late in the season. Would rather believe it's because Ventura pushed him too hard in the first 3-4 months and didn't give him enough time off.
