I'm thinking it is 4-8 for these last 12, getting them to 79 wins so Sam Kennedy can point to the improvement over the prior two 78-84 s. Actually 3 years running at 78-84 is a difficult feat but it is possible. -
Pivetta was about to get my compliments on a well pitched 3 innings when he allowed the obligatory HR on an 0-2 pitch . Still, Casas gave him him a little coverage with a 2 run HR, settle down Nick. It will be interesting to see what type of offers Pivetta gets this winter. He has some ability to dominate for a while, but can also slide into mediocrity. If he wasn't already on the Sox, he is probably the type of cost effective inning eater Breslow would be looking for. Who knows, they may want to sign him .

A trip to the Trop is always exciting and filled with misadventures. Sox are in a struggle with the Rays to see who will finish 3rd/4th in the mighty ALE. Sox can keep the lock on the Rays with a win tonight . Not much discussion about if Tanner Houck should pitch again this year. I would say no, nothing to be gained pushing his tired arm/shoulder further, at the risk of worsening it.
-
He had 4 hits, if you count running into Devers on that pop-up.

If you like HR's buy a season ticket to Crawfish started games and you won't be disappointed. It is one thing to be a little off but another thing to lead a league in certain categories. We tend to discount W-L records as being not indicative of a pitcher's true worth or ability. But one indisputable fact is that an "L" means that pitcher was responsible for the run scored that put his team behind, from which they never recovered to tie or take the lead. Crawford's 14 losses ( soon to be 15) and the 33 Hr's in 31 starts cannot be fully overlooked as a less than stellar season. A loss in the BP is worse because it generally means that the pitcher came in with the score tied or his team ahead and let the opponent recover and win, usually after the 5th/6th inning

No, but it does sit LH'er Casas which could be a plus for the moment
-
I saw very little live of this game but when dumbass Story crashed into Devers, who still made a key juggling catch of the popup while screaming "I got it" , I sincerely hoped Story was on the ground because his shoulder popped out. In a year of poor defensive support , Story's blunder by a veteran takes the cake. Great team game overall , plus another couple new pitchers to love on . Makes the loss of last night be emphasized, not soothed. Please win tomorrow, Boston .

Finally a comment about the only stat that does matter, w's and L's. A stat that takes into account all aspects of the game ( Offense/defense/pitching), plus uncontrollable variables from weather to ballpark shapes. Wins matter. The second half Red Sox of '24 are seeing the effect of that on their fan base.

The dog crap PigPen as, SS names them, have the worst ERA in MLB since the A-S break. So Brez does his job and goes out and gets reinforcements before the deadline. Both of those turds are currently unavailable securing Breslow's rep for hiring only the lonely and the wounded.
-
So Red, now you become the comedian on here
-
F'ing incredible job by Kelly and Booser. I actually feel bad for Cora to have to even call the bP for these slop throwers
-
Trade them all to Atlanta for Sale
-
Sorry but have to go on record as saying I am not a fan of Zack Kelly. I do not care about his stats . His appearance/ demeanor is one of a loser
-
He will be an integral part of the 2025 team , but needs to hit .250/.725 with some doubles/HRs to keep his position under control. If Grissom flops at 2B, then the musical chairs will begin. If Story doesn't hit, he could get moved over to 2B
-
The Detroit pitcher gave the wrong Oriole ( Gunnar) a cookie of a pitch and he ripped it, but Tigers hung on to the 1-0 win with Henderson standing on 3rd
-
Potentially an excellent find who should do all possible to be ready for ST and compete for a role in '25
-
Typical No Hit Bid--- a 1-0 game in the 7th. Eflin just now being pulled for the O's
-
So they have a few guys who can't go the distance. No Field of Dreams for Red Sox. I would certainly shut down Houck rather than risk any shoiulder injury, despite the long off season available. Ironic that if the bats had not taken early retirement this year and won 5-6 more games, we would still miss the WC because no one can throw anymore.
-
I wasn't questioning AC's tactics on holding the tie, but after the quick inning I thought we might see Kenley for at least 1 or 2 in the 10th The hitting is atrocious and another missed opportunity to make a move. I called it over when they lost the Sunday game to the WS
-
Winckowski got the short straw in the BP roulette game. You took one for the team, Josh.
-
That inning went south when Abreu decided that the first pitch low and away would be a good one to get Casas over to third. These young free swingers may connect on ocassion but show little baseball sense in their approach.
-
What is disappointing in the 9th is that you burn up Jansen just holding the tie, and your best outcome is going to the 10th . Not much meat on that bone
-
Won't take too long to get weary of watching Story flail away at the plate .
-
Watch Cedanne and Devers this inning pull the gsme out with big hits. Duran has no chance to get on base , he is cooked
-
The K's and just swing/miss particularly on FB's over the plate are astounding
