5 Innings of 1 hit offense, that one by Sogard ? Bello pitching well enough around baserunners but no support. Credit to Littell for holding the Sox in check, but come on, man ! -
Does everyone else see the flaw in Abreu's swing that puts him back in the dugout each time?. These are simple straight FB's , not 98mph benders. There is a lot of off season work for the young guys to do. Even Cora directly said that Rafaela's chasing was something they talk about and Cedanne is aware but just can't stop himself. These 2 guys ( Abreu/Rafaela) have huge potential but no self control .

Thanks for the article. It shows a fair number of long term scouts/player development guys( Pre Bloom and some pre DD) getting the opportunity to pursue new hobbies. It would be interesting to get Bailey's and Breslow's honest take on what happened to the starters and BP arms after the A-S break this year. Also, how did the "team" come up with 2 RP pickups , both of whom wound up on the IL ? Inquiring minds want to know the CoBO's take on this.

I bet their record in those 4 losing efforts was 12 and 16 . Had we had Kenley Jansen for all 4, the Red Sox would be bigger winners than they are now. Ted W. would have had a ring
-
It would be a nice season end if Trevor Story can play out these next 10 on offense as he did last night. Power, speed, baseball smarts and score the run on Duran's sharp single through the right side. If Trevor can become that player with some consistency, next year will be looking better for sure.

Something to consider as the Sox complete their 2024 season final 10 games. Some of us think the team is "tired" , worm down and not ready for a 9-1 run. Consider, Sox will play until about 9:30-10PM EDT, take about an hour to clean up, pack their bags and get on the bus. Plane back to Boston for the key last shot at Twins will depart about midnight, get to Logan around 3 AM. Deplane, get cars/taxis and maybe be at their homers 4-5 AM. Then be back at Fenway about 3-4PM to play what should be a meaningful game . And we think we are tired of watching them amid the recent struggles. Trust me they are very tired of playing out the string of games for no brass ring at the end. Worse they will only get one more paycheck in about 10 days, which money must last until late March 2025. Except for Devers who can live off his interest in the less expensive DR.

That was an essential win because since A-S break , Sox have not won tight games, 2-1 is as good as it gets. Well, OK, may be 1-0 is the best . Jansen remains effective, but not efficient, so if you see him pitch, do not expect to see him tomorrow. That was a 25 pitch 9th featuring 2 baserunners, a double steal and a 3-2 finish with a swinging K. But the only thing thta counts is the W. Third place is secure no matter the Thursday outcome , as the final 10 begin
-
Devers caps off his 3 K night with a GIDP . No end to this guys deadly ability. Yes, I know , his shoulder hurts
-
Crfedit to Slaten for digging out of the 7th with no runs , and to Story for creating a run with 2 SBs, and Duran for driving him in. A late lead !!
-
Hold on folks.... here comes the BP blowup that will sink this game into the deepening abyss
-
Abreu , like Devers, cannot hit a center cut FB due to the undercutting loop in his swing. This guy has no concept with 2 men on base in a 1-1 game. Probably a weak mind in an adult body
-
Story smacking the bat as Pepiot thought he could get away with a few more cookies. Actually good to see that Colorado-like power . Would have been a wallball at Fenway.
-
Not sure if we can backcheck on the revised site but I think we both called the 78-84 Threepeat back in late March. Now I'm concerned about the 78
-
Pepiot gets the immaculate inning with 9 strikes for 3 K's. Incredible that Pep had no fear of putting the ball across the plate for these tough guys.
-
Casas looks like a hippo in heat at 1B the last 2 games
-
Please put Devers out of his misery. He simply cannot contribute at this point
-
I'll give Story through next April to prove his real abilities with the bat, but he could be a classic misread of a hitting prowess. Like Yoshida, the Sox are stuck with the dude for awhile longer .
-
Watching the inept ABs after Casas' double just drives home how unfocused this team became in late August/early September. Illinois is right in that there is little pop left in the bats. Duran may have played himself out of a great season by never taking a few games off, including the A-S game festivities. They all look tired and slow.
-
The good part of a trade for Rendon is that he probably would not show up in order to spend more time with his family.
-
It would be disappointing if Tanner stresses his arm/shoulder any further by pitching today . The fight for 3rd place is a war of attrition . That is 3rd place ALE. not 3rd Wild Card . That ship has sailed while we were at the airport.
-
But there is only 10 more years on his deal. Should be able to move him along after 8 or 9
-
A 2 out soft liner combined with a slow LF'er and you give up 3 runs. Concede the 9th. Following these guys since the A-S break has been miserable.
-
Winckowski has become the long mop up man for Boston. After 40 pitches, he has trouble getting outs
-
I sure hope Nevers has a big season planned for 2025. Happy for him that his defense has improved. If you think his shoulder condition is impeding his hitting, then why is he still swinging like a gorilla, but missing a lot ?
-
Another 2 run score, or will we see a comeback ? Not in this game, unless a hitter shows up💀
