So how many players are getting days off? I want this team to finish on a high note.

Getting into the playoffs via walkoff seems like a high note to me.

[moonslav59]

We also have a day off on Monday, so maybe some who get today off will play tomorrow.

My guess is Wong starts tomorrow, so Narvaez gets 2 off in a row.

It's possible that the Sox, the Tigers and the Guardians could all finish at 88-74.

Who has the CLE/DET tiebreaker for the AL Central Division?

[Cameron Tran]

Ceddanne in his last 14 days:

.311/.340/.444 (.785 OPS)

Last 7 days

.333/.390/.571 (.963 OPS)

Yoshida last 20 games

.338/.364/.451 (.814 OPS)

1.007 OPS in last 14 days

1.135 in last 7 days

 

Getting them both hot, and getting Abreu back to normal, and this lineup becomes incredibly deep.

Cleveland does

Otoh, there's a slight chance that the Sox could tie Seattle for the 3rd best record in the AL at 90-72.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu seems to be getting his groove back at a very opportune time.

[mvp 78]

Zero runs. Inept offense. Season over.

[d-money]

Yeah this offense might blow today.

[Beaneater]

Raunchy front door sweeper to Greene. This Early kid has some stuff.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the Tigers are still in position to win the Central after this game, it's seems a sure thing they'll start Skubal tomorrow. This will put them at a big disadvantage when their PO's begin. 

[Beaneater]

Also, while I'm here, I think much could be said of how valuable Nate Eaton has been for the Sox down the stretch. Last night's pinch run steal and advance on error was a big part of the comeback. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Narvaez is so much a better hitter when he goes to right.

Very true.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timely hitting by Sogood.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A Super Man catch by Baez 

[Beaneater]

Scrub Squad Alpha takes the early lead.

[mvp 78]

Early looking very smooth out there. Seems like he’s getting the inside track on a rotation spot for next year.

He may have a rotation spot in the PO's.

Let's see how he does in the 4th. That's been an unfriendly inning for Sox pitchers.

So are Yoshida and Duran when they go to left

Not to mention 2026 rotation 

[moonslav59]

My glasses may be a shade of pink, but I'm sold on Early.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey Lou, uncomfortable is a problem.
