Red Sox (Early) vs Rays (Seymour): 6/8/26, 6:40pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Time for the rally caps again. Or whatever you wear that brings luck to the Sox.

Note to Sox starters:

Once you've given up 2 runs, take yourself out of the game. No point in putting your arm in danger for no reason.

1 run at NYY and 1 at TB, so that's 2.

Keep coming to bat 0-2 and this will continue

Early wasn’t sharp but you really can’t complain when your starter only allows 2 runs.  He's given the team a chance.

Early, Tolle, Bennett, Crochet, Ranger. That's a pretty good rotation but they need to have at least one good righty. Sonny is fine but he won't be here long. Too bad the Sox gave away Harrison and Priester to the Brewers for a bag of balls.

I just looked up 'what is it called when you continue to watch something that is terrible?'

The answer I got was 'a guilty pleasure.' I was relieved, because I was worried it was some type of mental disorder.

At least in his after game pressers Chad hasn't said "we just have to play better."

They really don't have to play better.

These were our expectations after the roster was "complete" and competitive

I brought that up because that was Cora's mantra after every Sox loss.

Angels place Vaughn Grissom on IL with oblique strain. Guy is injury prone, although he has played ok for them when healthy. Better than he played for the Sox.

Uhoh, Bres will be considering a trade to get Vaughn cheap while he's hurt. Maybe move Yoshi to LAA

A RHB that can play 1b, 2b and 3b. We wouldn't need one of those.
