Nationals (Lord) vs Red Sox (Tolle): 7/1/26, 1:35pm

How are you feeling about yesterday's game? Just a hiccup, or more of the same from the 2026 Red Sox?

IT's hard to know if last night was more of the "one step up and two steps back" feeling about 2026, but I'm still hopeful we are a .500 or better team.

Making a couple additions like B Lowe and Jeffers might be all we need.

Tolle needs to drill the first batter in the thigh, then strikeout the side and tell his defense, "Sit down, men."

Rough start.

Can the Sox win their 4th game of the season down by 2? Stay tuned.

Again, no Yoshida??  To give Eaton (.200) and Romy (.143) more ABs, I suppose? Both batting right, so those averages are likely lower.

Back when I played team sports, we had this weird convention that you played your best players, and if you weren't the best, you worked hard until you were.  But I guess putting your best players on the field is just way too passé for  a cutting edge team like this.

Walking Willson?  (Why not 4 pitches right in on his hands for a likely ejection?)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Durbin, the 2nd best hitter on the Sox right now, is batting behind Gonzalez. Chad is an idiot.

The worms don't stand a chance against this Sox lineup.

We don’t need to ADD anyone. We need to be sellers and plan for the future.
