Oooo...perfect situational example coming up. Watch Eddie cough up this lead. This is your 2019 iteration, folks. Ughh...I really thought Rodriguez would turn a corner this year. So, SO wrong. He got out of it, but it wasn't pretty lol.

Painful watching top 3 in our order struggling so... it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Yet Nunez socks a double. Go figure!

Keep hitting. Devers now out with a injury, that is a absolute killer if it's anything serious. Why ? You forget we have Nunez.

EZ Eddie. Good Lord, though, this Twins team can strike out and them some.

After last night, ERod just gave us exactly what we needed, innings.

Doubtful Think he ever becomes anything more then a #5 or #4? Right now he's got 1.3 fWAR. If he stays healthy (and yes, that's an if), he's on pace for a 2.8 fWAR season. Last year that would have put him around #33 in the league among starting pitchers. That's a solid #2 starter. Looking at this another way, his .305 xwOBA this year is #44 in the league among pitchers with at least 250 TBF. That rates him as a borderline #2/#3, which to me passes the eye test. A tremendous amount of time is spent on this board trying to convince people that the team and players they root for are actually good. It's strange.

Pretty valuable piece still. The poster never implied he was garbage.

If the pen can hold, this will be win # 8 for ERod. The team hits...and usually wins...with him on the mound.
Great Houdini job by him saving the pen after a shaky beginning.

Pretty valuable piece still. The poster never implied he was garbage. I think the issue is that it’s an unreasonably negative (rhetorical) question whose presumptive answer is unsupported by the actual data. Seems to me the implication was, in fact, that he was garbage. Why else would you call a guy who’s been basically a strong 3 something less? Also, I give huge props to Eddie for turning things around and going 7 when they needed it. It might not be a “quality start,” but it ended up being pretty damn good. That was a solid bounce back against a very good team.

I feel comfortable saying....and at the considerable risk of the possible wrath of the board....we are going to win this series against a winning ballclub.

Hey, nice series win for the Sox. They're on a pretty good run lately winning 7 out 8 with 4 coming against winning teams, including 1 series win against a very good Twins team. Very nice.
