Unless you root for a shitty team that resides at the bottom of the AL East. Glad they spent a zillion dollars on Trevor "DL" Story instead of pitching. That tightwad Chaim Bloom better open up the checkbook for some pitching in the offseason. Xander can walk and they damn well better not let Rafael Devers become Mookie 2.0.
Two wins from the WS in 2021, basement in 2022. Wheeee
Seems like the Sox do that from time to time, going both ways. Didn't they follow up the season where they were getting killed for eating fried chicken and drinking beer in the clubhouse with a World Series win the next season? Seemed like there were multiple years about a decade ago where they would go from first to worst to first again. Yeah, "Fried Chicken-gate" was 2011. The Sox had a playoff spot almost wrapped up and they choked down the stretch, in Francona's last year. Tito got fired for that. How can a manager tell 25 millionaires what to eat, especially since it was mostly the starters who were guilty of have a beer and a little chicken. Nothing is more useless than a starting pitcher who isn't pitching. They could have been indulging in coke and hookers for all it mattered. They won the WS two years later, after the one year laugh fest with Bobby Valentine in the big chair (John Farrell managed in 2013). After the WS win in '13, they finished last 2014 and 2015. Finished last in 2020, two years after the 2018 team. I think this downturn might last a while longer, Like Klaw said, there's not much out there in FA pitching and the farm is barren in that department. And GM Chaim Bloom was brought in to be frugal.

Whenever they introduce the lineup, they show each player's batting average.
It's time they changed this to OPS.

I really don't know who I should be rooting for. It likely doesn't matter. In the best scenario, it would probably be good for the Phillies to pass the Padres so the Friars could play the Cardinals rather than either of these two out of the box.

Judge intentionally walked, crowd boos Could he end up with 61? I've seen hitters go through longer cold streaks.

I’m sure some pitcher will throw a meatball, intentional or not, sooner or later.
