I didn’t realize it was that bad down at the Fens They are one of the few teams that did not meet the 85% vax threshold. That might be a factor. Some of the replacements have added some juice to the clubhouse maybe? Moving Richards to the bp has helped a lot too. If they can even get a decent streak going that will help Some dregs of the league on the schedule as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Slight chance of 30s here tomorrow morning if the clouds hold off. Nothing special, as half of our 24 Augusts have recorded sub-40 minima, but welcome after the August humidity.

Some of the replacements have added some juice to the clubhouse maybe? Moving Richards to the bp has helped a lot too. If they can even get a decent streak going that will help Some dregs of the league on the schedule as well Essentially ... the playoffs have begun. Glancing around the standings, Tampa Bay is the outlier ( but I still wonder if their correction vector points back to the other division leaders...), otherwise, the other division leads are all 78 .. 79 wins. Some owe games/post-pones, so those need to be played. Until that happens, parity among the top contenders is actually including those that may end up play-in as wildcards. It is as though the playoffs have begun. This recent 3-game win streak was probably a season defining momentum ... perhaps savior to the season. Why? The combination of the parity, with the timing of this win streak. If they had gone another week in a .500 tepidity, while the other division leads played even .600 ball, historically the 3 game win streaks don't seem to parlay in those situations. It becomes the difference of controlling their own destiny, vs having to wait for other team's losses. I like their chances in controlling this weekend's Cleveland series. For one, the season series, so far, has this match-up clearly in Boston's favor. The momentum in team-rivals is an obvious intangible advantage. But also I don't think Cleveland pitching matches very well against Boston line-up, perhaps idiosyncratically - our guys just spray off their pitchers. The saying goes, 'just win every series.' Certainly true. However, with the parity being what it is, ... yeah a sweep or two thrown into the mix needs to break the parity and move them up the standings. With 9 IL'ed core members being replaced by this tactic of unknowns - it isn't a sustainable [ usually ] gample. Opponent pitchers/ defenses will 'figure them out' eventually. The rookie flash inevitably flat-lines to a .180 earth. With COVID, they had no choice, and it has worked for the last three games. And I have to admit, it seems like the pit is more electrified and exuberant in the game-casts. Maybe the prior specter of the 9 IL was hanging over them, drawing them into a malaise that never ends well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like a gateway drug. For I soon was exposed to better highs with local affiliates … then the early good yrs of TWC arrived and completed my journey to full-on heroine Heh … actually it was the Cleveland Superbomb that checked me into rehab as the full-on addict … and two years later … the EF3 (older rating system) tornado that carved a trench though Kalamazoo’s downtown that was the OD 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
