Oh-and they also lead in runs scored.
    The Astros remain the team to beat.

    That said, neither they nor the Yankees scare me. The Sox can hang with either one of them IMO. Bring it!

    He seems to be coming alive offensively. I'm happy at this point to grind out the season with him.

    I'd still like to pick up Lowrie to play 2B.

    Slash said it best. We knew what we were getting into with Devers and signed the agreement to just let him learn this year. Stick to the plan.
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    As I recall Xander's first full year had similar struggles.

    Just returning the favor in kind.

    I don't know what makes you think your team has so much greater likelihood of winning the division than the Sox do. You are confident in your team. I am equally as confident in my team. It will be a tough race for the Sox, as it will be for the Yankees. Don't underestimate the Good Guys.

    this would be an awesome post on a fucking YANKEES forum.

    if the Red Sox won every game they played the last 115 years they would be 115x World Series Champs!

    What makes me more confident is knowing that our offense has come nowhere near what it is capable of. And I know the bottom of your order hasn't exactly killed it, but I am talking about all star level offensive contributors who aren't hitting yet who are capable of carrying a team for a month. They will get going. When they do, we will not have to rely on our pitching to win games, like it is now
    Hal sucks
