    How did Jeter Downs wind up hitting .250 with a .821 OPS ? That walk by Sale was his 6th AB of the year.

    Devers has definitely struggled in his last 15 games with 1 HR and 3 rbi's while OPS is below .800. He needs to find an answer if the Sox will make run over the next 13 games . Picking better pitches , and hitting those in the zone would help.

    Good for Casas and the Sox. Yeah, sit him vs LH'ers .

    Corbin induces 2 DP balls, only 1 completed, in 1st to kill the leadoff single. Devers is not sharp

    No argument that an amazing set of sweeps or near sweeps will help but you also have to win a majority of the other games too. Like today Thinking of 5 or 6 of 7 vs Astros is a strategy called hope.

    A series win will help the lost opportunity last night for a nice comeback effort. Sale needs to be on his game, which Paxton was overall. The Sox need to play out at a .600 clip over the final 42 to catch the Jays, assuming they go .500 over their final 40.

    Does the FO and Ownership not talk or at least text ? JH: " Chaim, do something, ratings on NESN are down " Chaim: "What, boss?" JH: " Whatever it is you do to win a few" Chaim: " The kids in Worcester are getting better, JH, just wait. You'll see results in 2025." JH: Chaim, "I may be dead in 2025 ! "

    Makes me appreciate LLovera all the more

    Nice work Whitlock, stick a fork in your team

    So , on average he should hang around the plate?

    Reyes digs out of the non-hitting hole. Pablo is too much good stuff

    Very winnable game which is slipping away. Gore pitched well enough, but his season numbers indicated that a good hitting team would have got to him. The inconsistency continues.

    Time for another late inning comeback vs Nats pen
  14. vegasbob
    Of course, Chavis would go deep on them. Wait until the Dodger games where Kike will get his due.

    9 up, 9 down, nice clean box score--perfect game !

    I know Devers is a renowned bad ball hitter , but he carries it to extremes and makes outs without giving himself the best opportunity.

    On Playoff chances, It looks like the Rays and Astros are currently good to go, plus one of the Mariners, Red Sox and Blue Jays in AL. The Sox season can swing on what happens in the 7 games with the Astros , the 5 with the Rays, and 3 in Toronto yet to play. Fortunately we also get 7 shots at the Yankees . The chase with Blue Jays is as follows: The Jays at 119 games have two fewer losses . Assuming wins for them, they should be considered 4 up on the 42 games left Red Sox. If the Sox play at a .600 clip that would produce 25 wins . If Toronto goes .500 over their last 44 , BJ's will finish at 89 wins . Given my scenario , the Sox will have 88 wins and miss the PO's. So everytime you see a 2 out walk, poor AB, idiotic baserunning, or defensive misplay realize just how tight the Sox prospects actually are. Of course, this doesn't take into account collapses or extended runs by similar teams.

    Regarding losing Duvall and Turner, which well may happen, I think this group does need at least 1 or 2 mature , professional hitters, like Turner, to balance the roster of streaky youngsters, including Devers. I hope Turner stays for next year though he could move on for a 2 year deal. It's also time to drop Dalbec from the list of possibilities. He may have had a great year at WooSox but the lack of serious interest by any other team tells a lot . Overage/Underperformed, time to drop off the 40 post season or sooner. Nice guy, maybe he can coach 1B.

    TMI, guys

    Off by 1 out, sorry Nick.
  21. vegasbob
    Not sure if Cora will let Nick P. start the 5th, but if he does, I'll assure that Cora will pull him after 2 outs as a spanking for all those s***** curve balls in the 3rd. Notice what happened as he went back to the FB more often.
  22. vegasbob
    Febles did not make the trip to DC, so Goodwin moved over to 3rd base. The Sox hired a guy pregame from Section 111 to cover 1st for them, on the premise, what could go wrong? Not sure his name
  23. vegasbob
    the umpire ball/strike calls get worse and worse.
  24. vegasbob
    Pivetta lacking control tonight. put the leadoff man on in each inning. It's a lay-up W, Nick if you can pitch a little Doesn't look like you can tonight. Hitters will bail it out
  25. vegasbob
    Casas gets it done with 2 out hitting
