Autumn Dreamin

Rockies have caught up to 2024 Sox pace for the first time since May. Both teams went 6-26 to start, but the Rockies had been playing at a worse clip since then. A solid stretch this week, when last year's Sox were in the middle of a 21L, has caught them back up at a 27-76 record. Now they just need to match last year's 14-45 finish to avoid a new record.

If only MLB had separate first and second half standings like the minors

Win #38 came on 9/25 last season, two months from now

Post ASB Sox combined with City Connect Friday Sox? Should've expected the W honestly.

Oof, right in the Queros.

I'm pretty sure teams can process the context of Houser throwing a bad pitch late in a blowout. Sucks that it tips his ERA over 2, but he wasn't returning 2 ERA ace value anyway because teams look at more than box scores.

Wolkow added a timely HR to force extras, Kanny won 8-7 F/10 LaCombe had a great affiliate debut:

Nice little coaching moment with Jirsch there

They have discovered the power of crooked numbers

12 hits allowed is a career high for Shota FYI

This brings me such joy.

If Houser gets an early hook, I'm going to assume the Cubs traded for him mid game.

.409 xBA for the Sox vs. Shota, average exit velo 95.3 (100.2 vs. the 4seam)

Oh my god

Acts like one too. I don't hate the Cubs outside of these series, but have seen so much of PCA peacocking around in the minors showing up umps, teammates, opponents, etc. that I'll never find him likeable.

Is....is the rebuild over??

Oh

Rewatched his last AB vs. Tampa and I could believe he felt something hitting first.
