Red Sox vs Rangers Series Review

World Series Winners My Booty.

Overall Takeaway

I didn’t get to do a Red Sox review of the Mariners series the other day. I am in summer mode and lost track of what day it is.

Game 1: Red Sox 11-6

Game 2: Rangers 7-4

Game 3: Red Sox 7-2

What I Loved

• Red Sox Offense

  • It has been one of the best in the league since that start of July, but has not gotten the run support needed to make things easy.

• Rafael Devers

  • Over 1.000 OPS!!!!

    • And now it’s below 1.000 again.

    • Still below

• Wilyer Abreu

  • Three homers in the series.

  • Crying in the dugout.

• Rob Refsnyeder

  • Now I understand why he only plays against lefties.

• Jarren Duran

  • Has a hit in 37 of his last 43 games.

  • Clutch home run in Game 3.

  • Won’t win MVP, but deserves some sort of award this off-season.

• Ceddanne Rafaela

  • 4-8 first two games

  • Unfortunatly, it seems like he will not win ROY. I will throw a fit if Langford wins it as he currently is the “betting” favorite.

What I Was "Mid" About

• No Bullpen

• Nick Sogard

  • It should have been Nick Yorke.

What I Didn't Love

• Starting Pitching…. Again

  • Crawford and Houck have already pitched more than they have in their entire career. Houck, by a significant amount. Frankly, it is starting to show. Crawford has become plagued by the longball, giving up four on Friday. Meanwhile, Houck has been falling apart over the last seven games. A 5.54 ERA and 1.58 WHIP to go with 18 BB is no bueno. There aren’t any reinforcements coming, so they need to figure it out.
