Here we are time to nail down a rotation and figure out the players for "what if" playoff situations. They need to be steady at the plate batting; streaky will get you eliminated.

GO RED SOX :banana: :seeya

Sox only 8 games worse than Indians.

Not bad considering how many times the Indians play the Royals, Tigers and White Sox.

Fixing this required more than a Carnation .. likely a Stanton. :wink:
Devers and Nunes only disguised the issue.

Get young manager with an edge. Let a player coach / play. A flatter depth chart.

"Over the weekend, Betts took part in the qualifying round for the World Series of Bowling, held by the Professional Bowlers Association in Reno, Nevada. And for one game, he wasn’t just good. He wasn’t just great, either. He was perfect."
