The Sox have adopted the Bruins 200-foot game philosophy...that's about as far as they hit the ball...200 feet. They are also defense first like the B's.

Hey haven't been here in a while, I'm excited about the Sox, we got Devers, Betts, Bregman, a workhorse in Crochet, a phenom in Bello, the best closer in baseball, then we got Anthony. It's exciting times around here. Cora probably the best player's manager out there. Go Sox!

You are in the postseason, as a player or a pitcher, you're mindthought has got to be, I'm ready at a moment's notice..if you are worried about injury or arm sore, etc, then don't play the game.

no offense, but other than Romy (who tapped out a few times) and Refsnyder, who exactly does hit lefties on Sox??

Are we really complaining or upset about decision making by Sox leaders at this point??? It's all Henry's master plan...and damn if I'm going to question anything anymore.

so what? Honestly, they trotted out the weakest lineup in Sox playoff history on Tuesday and it still resulted in a win. So if a computer spits out the lineup and Breslow can trade Devers and Breslow can stay quiet at trade deadline and guys like Sogard and Eaton and Yoshida can have key ABs...so be it.

As a long, long time Sox fan going back to my love for '75 Sox, I can't help but think this is like gravy-all of this...I loved yesterday's win...what a game and what a great job by Cora...Maybe this team has some mojo, maybe it was the plane ride, the Devers trade, the constant criticism of Yoshida and the spare parts that clearly already are paying dividends..then look at the faith in Story and the FA big move of getting Bregman.. Playoff Alexs...Crochet is Tiant/Lonborg/Clemens/Pedro/Schilling/Lester all in one...Chapman might as well be Koji at this point. Go Sox!! I'm excited for first time in a few years.

no way, Duran plays and should play...if he gets on, he can be a threat and if he connects at short porch, again HR...But then you have Abreu and I feel he should always be in the lineup. But Cora has pushed all the right buttons, and frankly never thought Sogard, Eaton would be getting big hits in the postseason. Anything Alex does for now on, honestly, he's a pretty damn good postseason manager. Go Sox!

Congratulations to the die-hard fans in here and the Sox making it into the postseason. Breslow got away with the Devers dump trade and not really adding at the trade deadline. Give a lot of credit to Story's comeback season, Bregman stabalizing force, Duran having great 2nd half, and the pitching with Crochet being the Ace..Go Sox!!! Breslow/Cora good for both.

sounds like this Breslow guy is pushing the right buttons. May Day to the rescue

Catcher ERA...:-)

Story is a unique free agent signing in Sox history. Almost disappointing the 1st year limited to 94 games, then 2 lost years with injuries...and now he is EXACTLY what the Sox hoped/needed..A shortstop with range, who can run the bases well, hit for power, produce RBI....and he's a leader. I have ripped him to shreds over the past few years--only because the money invested seemed a complete waste...until it wasn't. Now it's an asset. So that's what I mean by unique. A 4-year delay on what the Sox/fans were hoping to happen.

19 teams in MLB have a .495 (16 over .500) or higher win percentage. Only the Brewers are .600 and the Tigers lost 11 of 12 (since started winning again) and a .580 still gives them 8-game lead in the AL Central. There are no real powerhouses and the few that were are having major issues in the post-All-Star Game stretch. So that just means the Sox are in this whole enchilada and ought to just play it out--this team has Morgan Magic and 2013 (platoon) vibes. Go Sox!

could be procedural to then bring him back for a start in 10 days

Sox 9-1 in last 10 Crochet starts and he threw zeros in 7 IP in the only Sox loss in 10 inn v. Halos on June 24. He is Cy Young but Skubal will probably beat him out. Guy is such a Stopper. He is Tiant, Pedro, Rocket, Schilling...he gets it done.
