Right handed hitter.

Also probably means one of Whitlock or Chapman isn’t available.

Neither has pitched since Sunday

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Come to the Sox to play. Stay to go on the IL.

[vegasbob]

Gamboa is not the answer, now must pitch to 2 more

[vegasbob]

Gamboa ? Big Gamble pays off

Doesn’t change what I posted.  Could be something else.

Or not.

Great to see Story write another chapter to his career.

Note: tonight, he passed Duran in 2026 OPS.

[NHNative]

Fingers crossed. I believe.

He's certainly been better since his return than the over-hyped guy.

RA is due for a HR.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Roll over Anthony once again

or not. I will admit that RA's grounders to the right side have more velocity than Masa's

They need to bring in Mr. Boggs for some instruction.

[vegasbob]

C'mon Mick get some insurance or just pop up

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Resting Chappy for the PO's.

Which reminds me about all the pop ups this series.  What year was it that Boggs popped out once all year, and it was in August or September.

I’d like to think so, but …

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Winning teams always need a player like Sogard.

Great hitter tempered by being a complete A-hole.

[NHNative]

A big W!

No matter what happens the rest of the season, Sonny had his best season this year with the Sox. He's definitely my pick for Sox MVP.

Agreed

[vegasbob]

Another dud until the 8th once again.

Nice finish by Whitlock

Actually a valuable win. Getting swept going to Tampa would have been no bueno

I admit I watched the end of the game 

Occasionally I am Slightly off when I call it over

I haven't read or heard anything implying he's hurting.

Damn straight.

I'll admit, I was late to recognize what he brings to the table.

These bums are just unwatchable right now 

They don’t deserve to make the playoffs 

Name 6 better American League teams that deserve it more…

[illinoisredsox]

Magic number to clinch a playoff berth is down to 3 over either Toronto or Texas.  It's down to 1 for the other one because they play each other this weekend and one has to lose twice.  It's at 2 to eliminate the Orioles from overtaking them.

We have a slight chance of making the playoffs after all!

Well we can start with the team that just took this series then move on to the Rays and the Yankees. Then the Guardians, Jays, and WS (who are in first place)

We haven’t exactly been tearing it up since the streak ended
