Red Sox (Buehler) vs Astros (Brown): 8/13/25, 7:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

Hunter Brown is really good, guys.

Red Sox by 20.

😊  It's why you gotta watch the games.

This is the most lopsided pitching matchup we've seen all year. Sox take the series. Brown  was close to being outdueled by a AAA pitcher the last time. Buehler isn't a AAA pitcher.

I shoulda gone to last night's game- not tonight's!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Last night was the 19th time this season the Sox have scored in double digits.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Otoh, the Dodgers, who lead MLB in runs scored, have scored 10 or more runs only 5 times this season.

Every game at the ballpark has its moments.

Great point!!  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching the Brewers game. So far, they're having an excellent season. So here's my prediction who ends up the NL team in this year's WS. Drumroll please, the LA Dodgers. Sorry Milwaukee.

Thanks,Max. I believe it helps explain the inconsistency we see in the Sox offense even though they have lofty run scored numbers.

You can't buy your way into the WS for a measly 113 million.

I might not even put MIL as my second choice in the NL.

1. LAD

2. PHI (very close to LAD)

T3. MIL & SDP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So, Moon, who do you predict in the weaker AL as the WS representative?

Personally, I believe it's a crap shoot.

Mariners vs Padres (picked out of a hat today)

[mvp 78]

Roman leading off? But what about his 5.6 Launch Angle?

In the AL one could say 'why not the Mariners.'

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Brewers are going for 12 straight wins. They lead the Pathetic Pirates 12-5 after 7.

[moonslav59]

Still Yoshida 5th and Abreu 7th.

I'm leaving soon for the game.

They had just ended an 11 game winning streak recently.

I think you can, but the trend seems to favor the high-priced teams.

Same from me.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Rafaela.

[Maxbialystock]

Pitching coach to mound kind of early--but needed.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I can't help but wonder what reclamation project the Sox will be signing this off season?

Sox success rate with reclamations is nil.

Timely hitting by Rafaela.
