He did the same thing DJ did. He came up huge for us twice this week

You have to make contact in a tie game in the ninth with a runner on third and less than two outs.

Agree but easier said than done when 101 is coming at you

Much needed win……

LOL, you guys are about to lap the field. Sox are playing great at the moment and their still not in your rear view mirror.

Nothing to do with their record or standings, just a great win to respond to being no hit a day earlier by their nemesis….and it also gets in the Astros bullpens’ head…..

Duran has looked much better at the plate in his second MLB stint. Would still like to see more walks but he's only struck out 11 times in 57 PA (and only 3 times in his last 35 PA), as opposed to 40 times in 112 PA last year.

If I'm not mistaken you all won two games vs Houston where you couldn't hit the ocean from a ship until late in the game.

I know the season is far from over but 2022 looks likes it's the Yankees year.

I don't like the Yankees but I've always respected them. They look supreme so far.

Any team can get hot and win it all, look at the Nats & Braves recently….Also without late inning heroics, the Astros sweep the Yankees….they have had the Yankees’ number in recent years and they are the biggest danger looking towards the post season…..

Has Duran or Houck said why they are not vaccinated? Is it a medical reason, or a brainwashed reason?

Duran said he's "still doing his research". These three days off should hopefully be enough time for him to finish his work.

Adley Rutschman's last 10 games:

.351/.385/.784, 7 doubles, 3 home runs, only 4 strikeouts in 39 PA

He had a .513 OPS before this stretch. It's now up to .730.

When did he start? Vaccines only been available for nearly 2 years now. I don't care if players choose not to get vaccinated but that "doing research" excuse can no longer be used

Exactly. Just either get it or come out and say you aren't. I wouldn't trade him or Houck over this (it's not like the Sox go to Canada that much), but it's still annoying.

Hoping he’s starting to adjust more to being in the majors and that he lives up to the hype, which Weiters didn’t do.

 

[navamind]

Though if they were to have to miss going to Toronto in the playoffs, that would be another story.

Marin Gonzales = Louis sojo

Avoiding strikeouts is a pretty good sign.

Gallo has 82 K’s in 183 AB’s, not bad…..

 

[obxyankeefan]

So you are saying he has avoided the strikeout 101 times?





I feel like I just typed avoid the noid.

I hope Houck has a valid medical reason... If it is because he's a moron, he needs to be off the team....
