I keep waiting for the offense to heat up. Seems like there's enough talent that it should take off at some point.
I keep waiting for when I can identity who is hitting when the Sox are at bat. I’m still in the “who the fuck is this guy?” stage with 35% the team cuz of the injuries.

He pinch hits the other day for Duran and Abreu and lets Hamilton hit tonight.
Hey, another good pitching performance anyway. If Devers could catch a baseball they might have won.
I'm kind of done with all the bad things I have to say about Cora as manager. I just can't wait until he is gone at this point.

Weather looks like crap for tomorrow
Our lineup will fit right in.
Can we hang in contention until lineup reinforcements return… or the new guys find their groove?
Here’s hoping we can stay around 500 and that 500 keeps us close to a playoff spot.

I really hate these new baseball rules that say Tampa has to beat the Red Sox 80+% of the time and the Yankees must beat the Twins 90+% of the time. It's ruining the game.
The idea that Tanner Houck is the "losing pitcher" of that game is just ridiculous. He should sue the entire organization for non-support.
Somehow we hit 2 home runs but only scored 3 runs, while leaving tons of runners on base in the middle innings, then went down as feebly as possible in the 8th and 9th. I won't even bother with the defense.

Baseball sucks.

I'm trying to find something equivalent to Football Outsiders' Post-Game Win Expectancy, where you take the per-PA results and estimate the likelihood of each team winning the game.

Like yesterday, if I counted right, home team had 4 singles, 2 doubles, and 2 HRs while visitors had 7 singles. Given those numbers, I would expect the home team to win 80% of the time.

I think you'll need a "correction factor" to account for our errors. We continue to give away games.
