    Here's a fun tweet from Tangotiger that makes me happy:

    Nothing is ever totally random.

    The job of a saberist is not to find "if something exists". No, job of a saberist is to establish the extent that the thing exists.

    e.g. : Finding clutch exists is irrelevant. Are we talking about 1 point of wOBA or 10 points or 50 points?

    Seems like a random statement.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Remembering the OP, I guess it's time to remind ourselves that even after 4 losses in a row and realizing our rotation top to bottom is suspect, it's still worth it to root, root, root for the home team. They've brought us a lot of great moments and could still bring us more.

    Yesterday, pretty darn good pitching. Today good hitting. I see hope for a rotation of Sale/Eovaldi/Pivetta/Houck/ERod and the lineup we saw today and despite the continuing absence of Schwarber and Arroyo who appear to be dedicated IL'ers.

    But Bloom won the Schwarber deal according to Bleacher Report, and that is what really matters.

    We've lost 9 of the last 11.

    Before that, we went 10-9 in the previous 19 games.

    Before that, we won 8 in a row.

    What a change from July 2nd to August 8th.

    (And we thought June was the tough month.)

    It's been a tough couple of weeks for Red Sox fans, to state the obvious.

    Things will get better very soon though. Our rotation will be improved and the offense is not going to continue stinking like it has been. Brighter days are ahead!

    Brighter days are ahead, but they need to minimize the damage in the meantime.
