At least one of these teams is playing a meaningful game. I feel out starting pitching has checked out for the year - it doesn't really pertain to this game.
The Sox investing in an experienced manager that has winning seasons is about as realistic as the Muchado signing. It will never happen under this ownership.
It's a stupid idea denying athletes to compete. It's like NFL teams having players sit out week 16 and then they get hurt in the playoffs. It's that mythical trying to plan around injury.
That's the Sox MO. It's happened before when they are in the post season hunt. Charlotte choked on playing the last place team in their division . It's an organization thing.
