Dodgers (May) @ Sox (Buehler) July 27, 2025 1335 hours

[Maxbialystock]

I give the edge to the Sox because Buehler seems to be coming back and because May's ERA in away games is 7.00

Last night was a terrific win.  

Duran in CF, Anthony in LF, and Abreu in RF vs righty May.  Rafaela @ 2b, Yoshida DH, Toro 1b.  5 lefty bats and 4 righty bats.

Can Buehler exact his Revenge?

It's been just over 40 years since Buehler took that day off.

The actual date was 06/05/85.

He didn’t even take another one after he killed Godzilla.  Dude make Cal Ripken look like a wimp…

I wasn't aware of the Godzilla incident. Ferris must be a god in Japan.

Connor Wong starts has lead to 11-16 record for the Sox.

There were a lot of Dodger fans in Fenway last night. Let's see what the crowd is like today.

For those who put a lot of credence in WAR does Crochet's current 4.7 seem too low?

[Nick]

Roman Anthony now leads the Sox with OBP of .382....leading off seems logical?

Really would love to see him work on 'lifting' the ball a bit for 2026.

I'd love to see his swing left alone.

too good to have only 2 homers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a bad joke that Dewey isn't in the HOF already.

A little low.  His is 5th highest in MLB.

He's a lefty bat with half his games at Fenway with its deep RF.  His OPS this month is .900 and would likely be a lot lower if the tinkered with his swing to get more dingers.

My question wasn't where he's ranked.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is your TV picture a lot red?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Freeman in the wrong ballpark for that fly ball. Yankem Park would have been more appropriate.

If he can get 3.3 more for the rest of the season, he's at 8, which is pretty darn good.  Last year Sale won the NL Cy Young with a WAR of 6.2.

I sprayed some Visine on the screen and it's less red now.

Another brain fart by Duran.

[Maxbialystock]

Duran stunk on the error, but it didn't cost a run thanks to Narvaez weak grounder for 3d out.

Nice sac fly by Story.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It seems the 1st base coach would notify the runner on number of outs. Does Duran have a short term memory problem?

[Maxbialystock]

Abreu has an excellent launch angle but horrible contact with the ball.  He's swinging for the fences every single time.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Williams, YAZ, Rice, Manny and Anthony. For Anthony those are some tough acts to follow.

Has any other MLB team had such a list of legends in one position?

[Maxbialystock]

Buehler is perfectly balanced so far--25 strikes and 25 balls.  

[Maxbialystock]

4 walks in 3 IP by Buehler.  Lucky to have given up just 1 run.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could have been much worse. The arsonist had to put out his own fire.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What has a 4.72 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP and is shutting down the Sox?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is not Buehler's favorite inning.
