time to get the bullpen up.

fuxton

Fair points. I just wish someone other than Minny got him.

Maeda is basically unhittable today. I still don't get why Sox didn't pursue him? He would have been a great fit imo. JINX INITITIATED!

So do the Sox want to shell Bauer and play really well, so it earns want for next season...or does the competitor in him require them to strikeout 15 times off him? ?

I thought Robert's take was actually fine. just a good pitch.

Lopez at least has looked solid enough today. he should be able to get 5 innings in for sure, maybe 6. Hopefully, he can keep runs to 2 total, and sox have a fighting chance.

EE goes 0-4 today with 3 Ks and that should hopefully end his starting on this team, correct?

can't watch that go by with 2 strikes

whelp, there he is.

ummm, who dis?

don't deny it...ReyLo looked solid that inning. Cruz has been off for sure though.

Dyson is 4/10 off Maeda for his career, including a HR...this is a test to see if he should get an at-bat in the playoffs.

17 games in 17 days and the playoffs directly after. Sox are prepping for the playoffs. Why is this so hard to understand? And Dyson and EE WILL be getting PH opps in the playoffs, so you cant just bury them at the end of the bench. The game 2 lineup of this series will be the Playoff game 1 lineup, but this schedule is brutal right now.

17 games in 17 days was bound to catch up with this team. Hopefully a day game reenergizes the bats today.

Go get em tomorrow. I will check back in if a miracle happens, but time to relax a bit.

this is looking like one of those nights. Need something big to happen here, like strand Cruz after this leadoff double.

donaldson doesn't seem right this year. maybe age is finally catching up?

Good thing Jake is only 4-5 innings this game. Sox will hit up the bullpen.

Yep. Nomar still sucks.

bad take, bad baserunning.

Mazara's 6 million next year can go towards a McCann QO or extension. Please get Mazara off this field and Engel some playing time. How do we know Engel didn't figure it out this year if they only play him 1/3 of the games?

TA7 is the superstar we all wanted but never expected. I have always been patient with him, but never thought this level was truly going to happen. I was all for Robert to bat leadoff as soon as this season, but realistically next season. Until he can lay off bad pitches he can't be that guy, but Anderson has basically forced himself into leadoff for the rest of his tenure...because TA bats wherever he says he is going to bat at this point. Enjoy the ride and the pasta.

I am very jealous of you coming up with this. Great name. Great graphic. Bravo.

Gross. If they go this route, they better make the season 140 games. And they HAVE to make it 3 division winners get top 3 seeds and everyone else is based on W/L. This top 2 of each division makes every playoffs a potential disaster for the higher seeds. Unfortunately the TV revenue is going to drive this decision.
