Red Sox (Tolle) vs Athletics (Barnett): 9/10/25, 3:35pm

[Brandon Glick]

3.0 games back of the Jays in the AL East... 3.0 games back of the best record in the AL.

Don't let them get hot!

What happened to the 6 man rotation with Harrison, today and Tolle on Friday?

I know the day off would give a 5 man rotation and extra day off, but why the change?

weird. CBSSports says Cora confirmed Tolle is starting today. They suggest Tolle might be on a pitch count or something with Harrison coming in to follow him, but that doesn't really make any sense. Why not just let Harrison go today and push Tolle back to Friday? Seems like something is going on here we'll learn about later today

“It’ll be a short one, but keeping him in his regular schedule makes a lot of sense,” - Alex Cora on Tolle's start Wednesday night

Sucks that New York avoids Skubal and Toronto avoids Brown, could've been a great chance to pick up a game on Toronto and add one on New York. Tied with NY atop wild card but we do hold the tiebreaker. Securing home field advantage for the wild card should be our top goal.

Not much of a lineup--

Duran  LF

Bregman 3B

Lowe 1B

Story SS

Yoshida DH

Sogard RF

Hamilton 2B

Eaton CF

Wong C

This is a big game with the yankees series coming up. You wanna stay within reach.

Nesn just flashed a graphic that Cora is #3 in games managed for the Red Sox, where does he rank in your Red Sox manager rankings. Top 10? Top 5?

[mvp 78]

Shoulda sent Jarren there. Terrible throw.

C'mon Jarren. That's barely a top 10 highlight these days... 🤬

[Cameron Tran]

[d-money]

I've got Pinky Higgins at #1.

Tolle's not fully cooked yet.

[Tedballgame]

Boston's third base coach needs to be replaced. Be aggressive with Duran and send him. Very few major league outfielders can throw accurately. He would have made it easy. Cost the team a run. Cost the team a game against Baltimore last month.

[drewski6]

Id like to take back when I said that I dont need a SP this offseason to be signed.

You and Fred like to keep kicking a dead horse.

No I meant that literally, not as in trying to drive a point. As in I literally in the last 90 minutes, I have changed my mind on whether I am happy on Tolle and Early and Dobbins as the back end of our rotation next year.  Im now with Moon where Id like a FA signing.  Push your 3rd starter to 4th, 4th to 5th, 5th to depth and so have you

I believe most of us want a top-shelf starter signed this off-season.
