Yeah I don't think this slump will continue much longer but those 6 games put them in a dogfight for the WC spots when they were a decent bet to win the division. Pretty frustrating.
It's good to get an off day and then head home. The Dome is going to be LIT for this Sox series. Winning 2 of 3 would be a good reset and would tie things up heading in to the final 3 weeks.
We went from favorites to repeat as AL East champs to underdogs in 6 games and the Sox aren't even playing that well. This team needs to get it together fast. I don't think they've been swept in months until tonight.
No not at all. That's what I've been trying to say since last night. It's September and whatever leads we had are essentially gone. I'm not someone to normally hit the panic button but we are staring down a 1-5 slide in September right now. That's not good. We find ourselves down by 3 games or more to Boston at any point this month and the division is pretty much gone.
Just repeatedly losing to beatable teams and hittable pitchers right as we enter the stretch run.
This game ain't over yet nor is the season but this road trip has been incredibly frustrating.
A deep bullpen is your biggest concern? In the playoffs there are more off days. Osuna will be able to pitch damn near every game if we need him too. Biagini, Grilli, Benoit, etc. should be able to do enough too.
