If the Sox sweep KC, the Nationals sweep the Marlins, and the Dbacks sweep the Padres, the Sox will drop to 5th with six weeks left in the season. The Sox have been in the 3rd position since June 11.

Shocking you have concerns about Madrigal already.

He’s ready. So is Jimenez. But we’re down to about 54 games, 1/3 of a season of meaningless games, so they’re under control for an extra year when the Sox are supposed to good. Easy choice for me.

17-25 for 61-101. 3rd, 4th, or 5th, I'm good. Lose a game this weekend, huh? Royals probably got to their hotel around 3am.

No Eloy to start. Maybe he comes in for Castillo after a couple ABs.

That’s fine, but be consistent. If a Sox batter gets hit in the same situation, don’t complain.

Acuna kept hitting leadoff homers, so Urena tried to hit him in the middle of the back to start the game and break that streak. That was his dumb reason.

Just saw the pitch he hit the guy with...uh yeah, should have been ejected. Clearly intentional, and it doesn’t matter what part of the body you hit. Would like to know if McCatty asked him what he was mad about after the bunt. Like, it’s part of the game...he should know that.

When he hits a 15% k-rate. Ha- like that will happen.

Yes, but if it’s intentional after he clearly was mad about the bunt, and the benches cleared, usually the pitcher will be ejected in that case.

Wish I could watch this now. Don’t throw at Eloy.

He didn’t get tossed? Wow!
