Rain outs could allow the Sox to adjust things so they can use guys like Burke, Kay and maybe Martin if he's off the IL, giving them better chances to win. Since the games would have to be made up later. Also because of the make up game Thursday they are playing 17 games in 17 days. They could use a day off.

And who said anything about the season being over? But it is a fact the Sox starting pitching is shaky at best. When you have TBD listed for not one but two games against a team that's pretty good and happens to play in the same city, that to me is noteworthy.

Rain outs have to be made up. They only have 3 off cays remaining. Using one of them creates another 21 game run without a day off. And a rain out isn't a day off. They still come to the park.

They have 3 days off between now and the end of the season, I don’t think these guys want to jam one or both of the cubs games into one of those days off

It’s pretty disappointing that even in this surprise season you can’t even really enjoy it and have to provide “don’t get swept” into a thread after they just swept a team that was nipping on their heels

The schedule sucks TBH, certainly compared to the teams chasing us in the Central. The only real thing I see good about it is that the last two weeks are mostly at home and we have a rockies tilt. Otherwise we've been unlucky with our IL rival the Cubs one of the 5 best team in MLB, we opened against the best team in MLB, and we'll have to go face a decently hot Mets team still. Really you couldn't have pulled a worse IL tilt. Just get rid of it imo other than the Cubs. I'm over IL. With TV national and universal DH who even cares?

Just glancing at schedules, Guardians have what would be the “easiest”. None of it is easy, each team has a gauntlet. Detroit has dodgers Toronto Tampa and the Sox, twins have Atlanta NYY Texas and the Sox, and Guardians have Toronto Boston and the Sox(SF if you want to count them, I think they have been playing better)

The Sox just need to keep doing what they have been doing, and each one of their competitors have to leapfrog each other while playing each other, and then the Sox

Schweitzer can be sent down 5 times with no ramifications. On the 6th time, he has to be put through waivers.

Gotcha, so you’re saying he can optioned one more time and called up again one more time. Still risky to have him on the roster knowing that demoting him requires putting him on outright waivers, but it’s a little better of a situation than the one I illustrated.

Thankfully we are done with the Red Sox: 0 for 6 against them. 13 over against everybody else.

If the Sox go even .500 the other teams have to on a run that just none of them seem capable of. People need to take a step back a little.

I would prefer no rainout Tuesday thank you very much as I will be traveling from out of state to see the game.

No Swanson for them. Weakens their D a ton.
