Red Sox (Tolle) vs Tigers (Skubal): 5/4/26, 6:40pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tigers score two against a team that looks like number two.

[iortiz]

…and there goes the game folks! 

[jad]

Wow,  Weren't some of you wondering if they would find unique ways of losing?

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Hate the Tigers forever after forcing Tolle to pitch in this crap. The scoreboard tells all fans to take cover, but they make Tolle try to throw a soaking wet ball, and now that Detroit scored, it's guaranteed they'll call the game.

Defense, run prevention and off season pickups come through again. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, this isn't the loss that keeps the Sox out of the PO's.

[jad]

But being beat bec, your fielder was nearly decapitated by the broken bat trying to throw home ... nope.  I really did not expect that

 

[vegasbob]

Truth is that it doesn't matter how you lose, just that you find ways to lose and pursue them .

Sox get shutout out and shat on without Skubal lifting a finger

I doubt anyone expected the Sox to win whether Skubal pitched or not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox still haven't figured out the ABS format.

[iortiz]

A HR! Sky is literally falling! Lol

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Duran!!!

he is heating up 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe the pattern of recent years is the season after the Sox appear in the PO's, they finish in last place.

[vegasbob]

Miracle hit by Duran to grab the lead.  I stopped watching thinking the rainout would be there. 

Now who is going to pitch at least the 7th in front of the stalling Tigers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Detroit's lucky they're in the AL Central.

[iortiz]

Whata bizarre game man lol

[jad]

OK, This is getting seriously weird.

[vegasbob]

Duran for CBO

Coulumbo?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Detroit still has to bat in the bottom of the 7th to make this game official.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

If Rivera were in the bullpen, this game would be over. And not Mariano.

[notin]

Duran has now driven in 7 of the last 10 runs the Sox have scored…

[vegasbob]

Credit where it is due.  Abreu picks up a run which undoubtedly will be needed with 9 outs to go.

He certainly is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

All the Sox needed was some thunder and lightning.

[iortiz]

… and just like that they started to hit with LOB.

I thought it was official after 5 innings.
