Yankees fans hyped they might actually move in front of a team projected to finish fourth in the division before the season.

What do the Redsox have to build on from this season after the inevitable 4th place finish this season?

They should be. They went from a "see ball, hit ball" offense to an analytics one where they are overthinking on what they're seeing and how they're swinging.

It's not a coincidence that in 2019 they were 6th in the NL and in 2020, they were 1st in the NL. That was under Brodie Van Wagenen. In 2021, Sandy Alderson has them employing a launch angle offense and as a result, the entire offense has been neutered.

Mets fans know that he was crippling them his first time around and Cohen, who is not a fan, brought him back in a baseball role. They're going to jump the gun and blow up this lineup when Alderson's philosophy is the culprit here.

Had they kept going with what was working, they'd have run away with the division. I'm not a Steve Cohen guy, so he deserves this but Mets fans don't.

I was mocking that other mets fan who said this same thing about the cubs after winning 3 of 4,dude was thumping his chest. Difference was the cubs weren’t good they overachieved in may then crashed back down to reality in june which is why they sold. Mets been in 1st all season now they’re in 3rd

loss of Laureano hurts, but the A/s can still contend with this new lineup. Marte has been amazing, and Harrison in the 7 hole helps turn the lineup over more than what it has with the 7-9 hitters they have been using. if Chapman ever gets going (big if at this point) its an above average lineup

Chafin-Petit-Diekman-Trivino has been really good the past few months. Romo hasnt allowed a run since June, pen really shortening games the past 6-7 weeks

Yeah Laureno gone is disappointing... This lineup still crazy tho.

Good to see some more colour in that A's lineup
