I guess Peters and Antonacci are forever platoon bats

OK, Venable starting a few extra RH hitters, but hate not starting Antonacci.

Golly, I remember the days of having my battery powered AM radio next to my pillow listening to Sox games. No faces. The best. Even now, something soothing about baseball in the background on the radio or headphones instead of TV

Pereira in CF. R Grichuk (R) LF M Murakami (L) 1B M Vargas (R) 3B C Montgomery (L) DH C Meidroth (R) 2B B Montgomery (S) RF E Pereira (R) CF E Quero (S) C L Acuña (R) SS

Quite the lineup.

Fried is very good and with Shultz going for the Sox, this will get ugly early. Sorry, but I can’t be optimistic about this matchup. Maybe if Sandlin were pitching. That said, I hope like hell the Sox prove me wrong. I live in New York State and can’t stand the Yankees.

Facing a lefty? We're toast.

The hell with a split. Make a statement and sweep these shithead Yankees.

Slater --> Ziehl --> Hicks/Sandlin has turned out nicely.

1 week to go. Should be a fun ride. Let's hope the Sox play well vs Yanks and Rays in the meantime.

Chris Sale was a reliever, at best.

Probably get similar to what they got for Slater last year.

That answers that question, Hays or Pereira. Let's see if the Sox get any interest in Hays.

I just don’t think Schultz is up for this. Prove me wrong, young man

Forgot to add it in my roundup of the stats this morning, but for the first time FGs basically think's it's a coin flip between us and Tribe to win division, 30% odds for us, 32% for them. Overall playoff odds are 45% for us, 48% for them, closest it has been all season although Sox did have slightly better odds (46%) back on June 29th. We've basically been around 40-48% the last 6 weeks. Be nice to go on a run and get that up over 60%.

Weather forecasts are all over the place.

Problem with that is Noah has no platoon advantage against LHP. Hate to agree with Ron but I think Adams or Sandlin gives us a better chance to win right now. Adams' velocity reports are good right? IMO it would be hard to be worse than Noah, although you never know.

Mason Adams has a 1.200 WHIP and 9 SO/9 on AAA. Wouldn't be shocked if we see him up.

I see now this is a 4 game series. Man, we need a split. The Yankees seem built to hammer LHP. I am concerned. Maybe Kay will somehow put one of his once a month 6 inning 2 run starts together despite traffic most innings. One thing about Kay is he can get whiffs when needed. Helps limit the damage with RISP.

Looks like everything clears right around first pitch. Maybe a delay but should be able to get the game in. Also wind ripping out to left at 15MPH

At least you’re regular still. Count your blessings.
