Sam & Chase, the outfield defense, Romo, Smith, and Castillo were all stellar.

What a boss performance by Castillo. Hadn't had anything like that in a while.
I hope H Smith's summit isn't as a 1 inning pitcher; but if it is, more of tonight.

Burke has been delivering boss performances all season

Is Saturday going to be an opener/Fedde/bullpen day?

I was wondering that as well as I’m going to be at that game.

Probably some validity about tipping pitches, but there were some lousy pitches by Taylor, particularly on the walk proceeding the game tying single.

2Deep, the last couple of times that the Sox began to "pile on" a ton of runs in a game, at least a couple of people among those I was with quipped, "Hey boys, let's not use 'em all up at once! Save some for tomorrow!" And if I recall correctly, the next outing would be one of those where they couldn't seem to buy a run. Do you think that yesterday, for instance, after establishing what appeared to be a comfortable lead, the guys subconsciously took their foot off the pedal, offensively, for fear that they'd come up dry today? It'd be crazy to do so on purpose, of course, but I've wondered if there could be a deep psychological element that might allow that to happen. Okay you guys, go ahead and make fun of me-- I can take it!🙂

I think there is an element(s) with this team that is interesting......

1. They are learning how to win and play meaningful games

2. I truly feel this team plays better when their backs are against the wall. They seem to lack energy when score a few runs and take the lead. It seems they thrive off close games...........(i'm not sure if I am describing this right because it's hard to pinpoint BUT they seem to embrace chaos)

They definitely have a knack for shaking off bad losses and playing well as a response.

T-minus 56 minutes til game time and there is no game thread.
