The thread to track Red Sox trends (or otherwise named: cherry-picking the latest numbers). To start, here's a few...
- Since London, the Red Sox are 15-7 (.681), outscoring their opponents 157-121 (+36 run differential). The offense over that stretch is averaging 7.1 runs per game (!), but the pitching...5.5 runs per game.
- Over their last 6 games vs. NYY, the Sox have scored 8, 13, 8, 19, 10, and 9 runs. That's 67 runs, or 11.2 per game.
- The Sox are just 8-13 in games started by today's pitcher Chris Sale, but they've won his last two, and Sale has gone 12.0 ip, 6 h, 2 r, 2 er, 5 bb, 22 k, 1.50 era, 0.92 whip, 16.5 k/9 over those two games.
- Sale in his career has fared very well vs. NYY: 19 g, 111.2 ip, 2.10 era, 0.95 whip, 11.8 k/9. But in 2019, not so much: 2 g, 11.0 ip, 14 h, 8 r, 8 er, 2 bb, 16 k, 6.55 era, 1.46 whip, 13.1 k/9.
- After a very rough stretch, Barnes has pitched well this month: 9 g, 7.0 ip, 3 h, 0 r, 0 er, 2 bb, 14 k, 0.00 era, 0.71 whip, 18.0 k/9.
- Walden, who was warming up at the end of last night's game, has also found a mini-groove. Last 5 games: 4.2 ip, 0 h, 0 r, 0 er, 1 bb, 3 k.
- Workman has been solid all season. He was dominant for much of the year, and his era stood at 1.50 on May 11. Since then, it's "ballooned" (haha) up to 2.08, and over his last 29 games has put up this line: 29.2 ip, 15 h, 9 r, 8 er, 18 bb, 41 k, 2.43 era, 1.11 whip, 12.4 k/9.
- On the negative side, Vazquez' bat has cooled considerably. After reaching a batting average of .302 on July 12, he's put up this line in his last 14 games: 57 pa, 1 hr, .176/.263/.255/.518. Coming back to earth like a burned out satellite.
- Nice little 12-game stretch for Benintendi: 54 pa, 2 hr, .340/.426/.617/1.043. Raising his average from .266 to .275, and his ops from .762 to .798.
