It’s the funniest thing but I feel like I enjoy baseball far more when the Sox are winning.

Huh, I just realized I have Roup stashed in the minors on my dynasty team. Nice to see he is filthy, LOL.

I know you care, don't lie.

Eh, the game is over. I think the rules of what people care about can be relaxed post-water.

Extremely satisfying victory. Criswell, a guy not in the OD rotation even with Giolito hurt, against one of the premier starters in baseball. We win and convincingly. Someone pass me some wet naps.

If you had told me in March that the Red Sox would finish April 17-13 and be in a wild card spot, and then asked me what I thought the biggest factor was, I would have said "probably luck".

If you had told me they would do it with significant injuries to:

Casas (60 day DL)
Grissom (misses all of April)
Story (done for the season after 8 games)
Devers (nagging injuries for a good part of the month)
O'Neill (misses a week with a concussion)
Yoshida
Bello (5 starts, 26 innings, then injured)
Giolito (done for the season before opening day)
Pivetta (11 innings over two starts, and then done for April)
Whitlock (18 innings over four starts, and then done for April)

AND they would also do it while...
Rafaela was an every day player .186
Valdez was an every day player batting .151
Yoshida would be a .220 hitter for the better part of the month
Abreu would be a .184 hitter for the better part of the month
Bobby Dalbec would get significant playing time while batting around .100 all month.
Pablo Reyes would play almost every day, while batting .183.
Devers would bat .188 for the petter part of April.

...then I would have thought every other team had massive PED suspensions, and had to bring in replacement players or something.

It’s been kind of the opposite of last year where they would pitch well and not hit or hit well and not pitch. This year the offensive side is doing just enough to win, with pitching shutting down the opposition

Personally I call him McMurray, because he is a musclebound Canadian who wears a baseball hat all the time and looks like the character on Letterkenny. People who have never seen that show would have no idea what that's about though.



"Wayne."
"How are ya now?"
"Good, and you?"
"Not so bad."

Honestly makes you wonder where they'd be with a LITTLE injury luck. Maybe just removing HALF of that list. Are they leading the division? It's wild.
