It almost seems like the Jays are content with just getting into the playoffs.

Has any team hit fewer HR's in the month of September than the Sox? 

Good question.  Bregman has lost his pop despite the line drive shot a few games ago

Lowe needs one and Abreu. Duran needs to hit something 

[vegasbob]

Kiss me Yoshi !!  Trade him to Jay's now

[FredLynn]

Yoshida is crushing it lately 

Its about time

Keep Mass Attack. He and Story are the Sox best hitters.

[vegasbob]

Serious question:  Could Romy Gonzalez be the FT 2Bman in '26.

[Sox 42]

Having a cleanup hitter with 3 homers seems OK at this moment

And two are even against big league pitchers.

Credit where credit's due. Props to Cora for having patience with Masa.

I wanna host the blue jays. Long way to go. 

[vegasbob]

Note the SF Giants are 4 below .500 with 4 to go.

Sox are 15 over working on 16.

While Devers is not SF's problem, he clearly couldn't change that teams trajectory. 

Remember Brez's claim after the trade. The Sox would improve

E8?

[vegasbob]

Crochet at 53 pitches after 5. Not sure i have seen that efficiency and dominance in awhile

[Tedballgame]

Fred: "That damn Rafaela can't catch anything. Horrible fielder."

Fred doesn't understand sarcasm.

[vegasbob]

Duran is going to wish he had hit Max because now he's going up vs LH'er

Rafaela missed the same routine diving catch 2 games in a row.

How many chances are you giving him?

Since the pinch count began, I do remember a Sox starter going 9 with, I believe, 93 pitches. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name.

[Tedballgame]

Crochet leads Skubal in every pitching category except ERA and that's close. Crochet should win the Cy Young. He is dominant. Skubal just lost an important game yesterday against Cleveland and looked bad doing it.

He got his glove on it= he should have caught it. So much for winning a GG

Agree 

[iortiz]

It’s 4-0 but it feels like it should be out of reach already. Hopefully Chrochet can go all the way. 

[Tedballgame]

Story can't hit or field. Bench the bum.

Skubal got very rattled after he hit a guy in the face yesterday 

[d-money]

I believe we clinch a playoff spot sweeping the jays and the stros losing one of the next two games.

He had no choice, did he

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In a 1974 13 innings game Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches against the Red Sox. He struck out 19.
