I wonder what algorithm came up with the Sox' schedule. After the Detroit series, they will have played 19 more home games than road games. We will see if the Sox are pretenders or contenders as they go into the playoff stretch with a road dominant schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Red Sox manager John Farrell said the team is considering moving Mookie Betts out of the leadoff spot. Betts has been Boston's leadoff hitter for all but three games this season but his power might be better utilized in the No. 3 spot. If Betts does move to third, the Red Sox would likely have Dustin Pedroia hit leadoff while shifting Xander Bogaerts to the No. 2 spot in the lineup. Betts has emerged as a legitimate MVP candidate, hitting .309 with 23 HR, 73 RBI and 17 steals over 106 games this season.

CrazyCarl40 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It's September and the Sox are tied for first. Not bad at all. Going to be a wild last month of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, I doubt we see the Red Sox pull off a .320+ BABIP as a team again anytime soon, so hopefully they take full advantage. The rotation is plenty talented if they can actually all get their acts together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rotation is plenty talented if they can actually all get their acts together. Unfortunately, the Red Sox are the antithesis of consistent. They should lead the division by several games as their starting pitching has been real good since the all-star break. However, there bats disappear like they did the past two games (1 run) after scoring 27 runs the previous two games. Or their bullpen implodes.

CrazyCarl40 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Magic number for playoffs is 4, division is 6. They're rolling and getting hot at the right time. Even Buchholz looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ten wins in a row! Makes me happy to be from New England. Pedroia's Grand Slam was awsome and inspiring and on top of it him escaping the tag at home plate to score the winning run. I don't forget the decades of mediocrity we had here in New England. I predict Red Sox & Cubs World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 While it is great that the Sox won the division, Farrell likely saved his job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
