Off topic but what kind of contract will Gray be seeking? The Sox has the club option for $30M where Gray can opt out of it. Will he go for longer years at less annual value?

He will turn 37 in November.

He stated that if his family asked him to retire, that he would without question. Not sure if he's really looking for a bunch of years at this point.

I think it will come down to whether Gray wants to pitch 1 more year ( take the $30mm) or if he thinks he really wants to continue for 2+ years for maybe $50-$75mm. 

My advice to Sonny, take the RS $30m and. go have a nice life

It would be great if he'd take the option at $30M. I think he's worth it on a one year deal.

Rafaela back in the lineup.

That is incredibly stupid. You don’t mess around with hamstring injuries.

Clearly they have no concerns.  2 weeks without actual play can cause innocuous cramping.   They obviously were overly cautious. He’s fine

Another offensive breakout waiting to happen. 

The runs vs innings is ridiculous

[vegasbob]

Suarez using a lot of pitches , may not go too far tonight

IMHO, the most impressive stat that Pedro put on the board was in the 2000 season. He had an ERA of 1.74, the lowest in the AL. The second lowest ERA was Clemens at 3.70.

Of course, this was during the steroid era.

Also in the 2000 season Pedro had 284 strike outs and an 11.7 WAR.

Has Pete Fatse entered the building ?  This offense is woeful 

[vegasbob]

Story takes strike 3 then taps dogs hit out of his spikes

[vegasbob]

Sandoval throws it middle-middle 

He will get pounded

[vegasbob]

1 hit through 6.  All you need to know.

Blowing another excellent pitching effort

There is literally no point in this post season. With this putrid and embarrassing offense.    Two and barbecue.    

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox have now scored 5 runs in their last 48 innings.

[vegasbob]

Weary of stat builder Story getting his one hit per game at a meaningless moment,  K'ing with RISP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good pitching beats good hitting. It also beats bad hitting, which we'll be able to watch next Tuesday and Wednesday.

[vegasbob]

Cleveland has a big incentive to win this game,  so Boston's pitching is even more validated.

Just don't lose to a Pesky Pole HR

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox going 32-5 is right up there with the US winning the gold medal in hockey in 1980 as far as miracles go.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Imagine paying top dollar to watch this lazy cocky offense insult the entire fan base with their complete ineptitude 

[JimEd]

will the Hitless Wonders score in the 9th?

More runless than hitless.

(Why is runless not a word and hitless is?)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Crochet makes the PO roster. He can bat clean-up.

[Bagwell Anderson]

 What a complete embarrassment this offense  has been.  Lazy and  arrogant effort.  

[JimEd]

looks like they're getting "tuned up" to get blown out in the playoffs.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Imagine paying to watch that crap.  Maybe it’s the champagne hangover for celebrating absolutely. Nothing.
