fathom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 02:19 AM) They haven't given up a run on defense in 1.6 games. That makes them look better. Ironic that a misplay by the Sox defense is the biggest play of the game so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I say just leave Santiago in there until the score changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Ok, here's the plan... We come back and win this thing. Tomorrow, it rains all day, and they call it around 4. Tigers come back on Monday and Verlander can't pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) Obviously they're more talented. I'm still not convinced they're better. They have more upside, but they're so bad defensively. Well luckily we play quite a bit of games against each other to see who is better.....ooppsss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) You just realized this I amazed actually. They are very good on paper and they are in 2nd place which many label the weakest division in baseball. I find it more impressive the less experienced players on the Sox have fared better than veterans when it comes to pitching. You knew Sale would be good but not Cy Young candidate good.

caulfield12 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) You just realized this We've let at least four games get away against both the Royals and Tigers. The Friday and Sunday games were absolutely excruciating. In the end, that's what will be remembered the most if we don't end up winning the division and fade down the stretch while DET plays 10 games over from here on out. Of course, following their normal trend line, they take the lead or fall back as soon as they're in first or tied...often getting swept. Or they're swept before they play us and then magically turn it on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team may not be good in general, but the individual matchup of two teams allows the generally worse team to be better head-to-head. Is it more important that you can beat a wide variety of teams or that you beat a particular, good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Since when did Omogrosso become a reliever the Sox rely on? Cabrera now 3-3 off of him, time to try someone else. Edited September 13, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The formula to win this division is to beat your division, beat the poor teams, and then to play 500 against the better teams, we have done fine against the better teams, however have dropped a ridiculous amount of games to the NL, the Royals, and the Tigers. We play 500 against just that group and this race is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
