2021 Season | Series #40 | Red Sox @ Indians | Aug. 27-29

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Agree, good win and glad the team didn’t fold down 4-0. However, I think the Red Sox are overrated and the weakest wild card contender in the AL. Beyond Denver’s and Martinez, their lineup doesn’t impress nor does their starting rotation, IMO. Nonetheless, glad Tribe avoided getting swept.
I don't know DC, the Red Sox can hit. All of Devers, Martinez, Bogearts, Renfroe, Vasquez, Dalbec, Schwarber, and Verdugo are having productive seasons.

The Red Sox biggest issue is their BP, and it showed today.
 
Mercado basically got interfered with twice. Got bumped around 2nd but at 3rd the pitcher was standing right by the base and Merc almost hit him disrupting his stride. Pitcher had no business being close to the bag
 
This is another basic fundamental that so many MLB players don't do well...

Sliding.

Bogaerts isn't bad and Verdugo is hitting .350 since the All-Star break. Schwarber has been hot since coming over.

But they're 20-20 since the break so at the moment I would agree they're not all that good. But they're in the same division as Tampa, NY, and Toronto, so they play a tough schedule. They have four in a row starting tonight in Tampa and their bullpen is depleted after this series. They could be behind Oakland for the second wild card by the weekend depending on how the A's do. The Rays have won 11 of 12. The Yankees won 13 in a row before losing the last two to Oakland.

The Boston fans at yesterday's game were intolerable the whole game.
 
I bet they were slightly more tolerable after the 8th inning…
A few funny tidbits.. there was a woman in the same row as me just a section over to the left.. the whole game was literally screaming all the Boston names as they batted or even if they caught a damn fly ball. After the second out in the 9th, she goes "I can't watch this anymore..." and walks out. Game ends and these two Red Sox's fans were walking on the concourse as "Cleveland Rocks" was playing, the one goes, "I hate this damn song..." as a Cleveland fan who may have had some adult beverages then starts singing Cleveland Rocks to them lol. After the game, I went to Angelo's in Lakewood to get some food.. I'm already at my table and I see a guy walk in with a Red Sox jersey... I make eye contact with him with my Tribe gear still on, all I did was give him a smirk and he gave me the hand lol

...though, credit the Sox fan fortunate enough to find Angelo's !

Angelo's is my favorite, no questions asked. Any time I'm up in Cleveland, you'll catch me there for dinner. Their food is so damn good. It's to the point where I'll order an entire XL pizza to go to take home with me.
