flavum Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2015 -> 11:50 PM) Don't have to "root" for fifth in division. Those losses will take care of themselves. Sox aren't going to suddenly play well in divisional games the final four weeks. I think they could go 7-15 in the division games and 2-6 vs the Yankees and A's. Where would that put them closing out the season 9-21? Since I told you they have 25 division games, and 34 overall, I have no idea what you're talking about. Which I guess isn't a surprise.

Irwin42 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) So should I be upset that we won today? I don't really know what to cheer for at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Loss for the Sox and wins by Detroit and Seattle tonight. Could jump as high as 7th pick by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) You guys don't even need to follow this. We play Central Div. teams all month which means a ton of losing. You are going to have to put up with about 8-10 wins, though, just law of averages. The rest will be L's so why follow it? You're going to get your wish. I had a chance AGAIN to see sox-royals for free friday night. Am gonna decline for same reason I did 2 weeks ago. Don't need to see the carnage in front of a full stadium. Sox are due to win ONE in Kauffman however, though I do not think they'll get that win this weekend. Three more Ls to KC.

LDF Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 there are many ways of being a fan, even if it means loosing in order to ensure a better pick in the draft. there is nothing wrong on that or for that way of thinking. i prefer for the sox to win, and if they loose, oh well. they gave it a try. but i will not look down on anyone to cheer for them loosing for a lousy season.

I can never be giddy about this when they are bad at scouting, development and only go for a pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yes we used to be pretty horrible at drafting and scouting, but IMO they've had very solid drafts the last few years since Hahn took over, it will be a few more years before we can really evaluate them. Also continuing to pick pitchers is not really a problem. It's what the Sox do well and if you end up with too much pitching then you can just trade it for hitting. It's not a big deal.
