Wei-Yin Chen (7-7, 4.03 ERA)

 

A win tonight, or a loss by Oakland clinches homefield advantage. Lets get it done.

Stat of the Day: The Sox have 1,291 strikeouts, a franchise record. But six other teams have more strikeouts this season. The Astros lead the majors with a record 1,510.

 

Notes: The Sox are two games up on the Athletics in the race for best record in the American League with two games to play. Either a Red Sox win or an Athletics loss at Seattle gives the Sox home field advantage throughout the playoffs and a Division Series matchup against the wild card card winner starting on Friday. ... Lester is 7-2, 2.29 in 12 starts since the All-Star break. Lester is 15-3, 2.80 in 24 career starts against the Orioles but 1-3, 4.13 in his last four. ... Chen 2-2, 5.08 in six career starts against the Sox, 0-2, 8.04 in three starts this season. ... Napoli is 17 of 50 (.340) with 11 extra-base hits and 15 RBIs in his last 17 games. ... Drew is 14 of 43 (.326)with 10 extra-base hits in his last 12 games. ... The Sox haven't won 98 games since 2004. Only five teams in franchise history have won 98 or more games. ... The Sox are 8-9 against the Orioles with two games left. ... The Sox are 17-7 in September.

Seattle is leading the season series 10-8? against Oakland. They play the As tough, and have the advantage of playing at home. Though their manager taking a powder doesn't help.

I love MLB so much. Two-way tie for Wild Card 2 with 2 games left. Teams that are 90-71, a good record, are struggling just to get a huge-disadvantage-spot in the postseason. Only 6/30 teams get normal playoff spots. You can't just be any good team to be in the playoffs. You really have to prove yourself as an elite team over a very fair 162 game schedule. This isn't the NBA where a 41-40 team can make it, or the NFL where the schedule is a puny 16 games spread out over 16 weeks. This is baseball, where the standings get tweaked every day of the season, everyone fighting for the top and desperately needing other teams to lose. The playoffs are everything because even good teams don't make it every year. We have to capitalize and WIN this year. So let's make sure we get that first seed tonight.

Ellsbury gets a planned day off

 

Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff September 28, 2013 05:43 PM

 

BALTIMORE — Manager John Farrell said Jacoby Ellsbury being out of the lineup was planned and that the Red Sox intended from the start to play him every other day.

 

Ellsbury is scheduled to play all nine innings on Sunday.

 

Also:

 

• Just a day off for David Ortiz. Wonder if that would be the case if he still had 29 home runs?

 

• The Red Sox want to see Junichi Tazawa, Matt Thornton, Ryan Dempster and Felix Doubront out of the bullpen over the next two days.

 

• How long Jon Lester pitches tonight and John Lackey tomorrow will hinge on the significance of the games.

 

• The Red Sox have a variety of lefty relievers to pick from for their postseason roster. Craig Breslow is obviously on the team. But Doubront, Thornton and Franklin Morales are under varying degrees of consideration. The opponent in the Division Series will help determine that, Farrell said.
