part reverse jinx, part disappointment in this team, part pessimist well they didn't work.....maybe try some optimism. we would've given up another couple of runs at the very least if i was spewing optimism lmao

Did this team really think the O's would just roll over and let you have your way with them? You bludgeoned them in Boston. You don't think they want to return the favor? They are playing like this is their playoffs! You saw how they scratched and clawed the MFYs when they were in town. The Red Sox come in here with no sense of urgency, lack of focus. Looking around, waiting for the baseball gods to push them over the line.

I am all for Bobby, Hunter, and Schwarber playing daily. JDM should probably sit and , like someone said a few posts ago, maybe he opts out Bench JDM and Vazquez, I have no idea why we would bench Verdugo over JDM at this point

I would imagine so. Devers has been a gift under his years of cheap team control. But if he were making $30m right now, I’d probably hate him. You'd hate a guy who would already have given the team like $10 million on surplus value? Not sure that's a Devers problem, really... You can't give Devers Arenado money because he doesn't play close to Arenado defense. If someone offers that, I don't think Chaim matches it.

well they didn't work.....maybe try some optimism. we would've given up another couple of runs at the very least if i was spewing optimism lmao how do you know if you don't try ? Give us hope. Go on the record. \In your most optimistic post, tells us they are going take the lead in the top of the 8th.

The problem is that the O's have a couple decent relievers and if you let them hang around and stumble into a lead, you'll see their best pitchers. If you put them away early, you see their bad relievers and end up with a 10-3 win.

And honestly if you had someone like Arenado at 3rd, you could afford to have Bogaerts at SS. That’s not the case and our left side of the infield might be the worst defensively in the majors

Both games are falling apart. The MFYs just tied the Jays and are threatening for a big inning. 2011 PTSD sweats taking over my whole body. We probably want the MFY to beat the Jays, no? Sadly, i think we must. But I will never verbalize it.

Yeah, but we are playing a .402 strength of schedule the rest of the way!

Yeah..Renfroe and Schwarber have solo home runs. it would be nice if they stuck a couple of singles and walks in between

The MFY and Sox game box scores are a Devers error away from being identical. Weird.

Nice. First pitch ground out to first. Real nice.
They do realize they are playing the Os, don't they?
