Wong barely misses a Fenway homer and gets promoted to  DH! LOL.

Duran CF (Rafaela with a day off)

Gasper 1B (Contreras with a day off)

Abreu RF

Yoshida LF

IKF 2B (Batting 5th!!!)

Durbin 3B (Batting 6th!!!)

Mayer SS

Is this the worst line-up of the season?

With a chance to win a series and get back to only 8 under , the Sox stick with the programmed rest days for 20+ year olds

I don’t have a problem with Cedanne getting a day off.  He definitely wore down late in the season last year so a day here or there might help that.

i don’t have a problem with Contreras having a day off.  Again, it might keep him a little fresher.

Having both off on the same day is moronic and tells me Tracy is not in total control of who plays when.

Right out of the Cora playbook.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox score first. Odds of winning increase significantly.

Duran made sure he hit his over the yellow line, because the yellow line on top of the fence isn't a home run. But if he hit it off a yellow foul pole, it's gone.

I think the deal with Tracy was you show up daily, toe the company BS line and you get a little more money.

But you will implement every move the FO dictates, Mr. INTERIM

... but only the part of the foul pole ABOVE the fence is an HR.

Why don't they paint that part a different color???????????

[vegasbob]

Congrats to Duran for his long gone shot. I do enjoy watching him play but fully understand why he is the one likely to get moved nearer the deadline

Point well-taken, but no Contreras, no Rafaela and no Roman.

Wong at DH seals the deal.

Damn, Mayer is slow

I was gonna mention that, but his lack of hitting has been my bigger issue.

[illinoisredsox]

Apparently Rafaela was in the original lineup but was scratched due to a sore lower back.  So we probably  owe Tracy an apology on that one.

Knowing how fragile this team is we should assume an injury was involved.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, I thought one run would be enough.

Bibee is 0-7 with an ERA of 4.57 and a WHIP of 1.32. No wonder the Sox are having a hard time scoring.

This post should wake the Sox offense up.

[vegasbob]

This umpire went to the Laz Diaz school of balls/strikes

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This HP chUMP sux

Narvaez looking lost with a bat

Called strike 3 with men on 2nd 3rd and no outs is not tolerable

[vegasbob]

Gasper shows the way. 

Never thought I would post that

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has anyone graded the Sox base running?

He’s had a weird season.  He’s had 3 horrific outings where he allowed 7+ runs, which has driven up the ERA.  He’s also had multiple games where he’s pitched well enough to get a win but the Guardians haven’t scored for him.  He’s been supported with 2 or less runs in 8 of his 12 starts.

Just add it to the other offensive weaknesses.
