Are the Sox playing today? Or is it a Covid pause?

I don't want to continue and prolong a conversation that's enjoyable as reading divorce papers from my ex-wife but I don't think this is actually true. And if there's a modicum of truth to it, it's certainly not irrefutable scientific fact. More than a modicum of truth, unfortunately: An Israeli study (sample size ~2.5 million) found that vaccinated individuals who hadn't previously been infected were between 6 and 13 times more likely to get infected with COVID than unvaccinated individuals with natural immunity. A different study (sample size ~32000) found that vaccinated individuals who hadn't previously been infected were about 8 times more likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated individuals with natural immunity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35380632/www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vitalYou seem to be implying that vaccination isn't vital when the words "vaccination remains vital" are in the title of the Science article.
EDIT: From a purely scientific perspective, there has probably never been a disease whose vaccines have been studied as closely as those against Sars-Cov2, so we're bound to learn things that challenge our preconceptions of vaccines (the main one being "you get vaccinated and you become 100% immune," which has rarely if ever been studied as closely for other disease/vaccine combos as it has for covid). New findings like this don't mean that all bets are off, they just mean that this disease didn't exist in humans 3 years ago (to our knowledge -- it probably circulated a bit in Vietnam, Laos and rural southern China before that) and suddenly became the obsessive subject of virtually every relevant medical laboratory (not to mention every government and news outlet) in the world.
Bottom line, it's an unprecedented situation and the science on all aspects of covid are likely to evolve in many directions over the next decade or more. In the meantime, vaccinations remain vital -- and they are likely to evolve as well, as we figure out why they don't work as well as the immune system and we work to get them closer to that standard. Thus ends my first and only covid post on this or any forum.

Do I feel lucky on this trip? Yes, yes I do. Good to get that early lead back.

Braiser? This must be the sacrificial game of the series.

It's hard to believe that they don't have two guys in Worcester that are more trustworthy than Diekman and Brasier.
EDIT: There must've been something Chaim saw in Diekman that he thought they could fix, because this is the guy he's been his whole career.

I don’t trust a single guy that comes out of that bullpen(at least since Whitlock became a starter)

This is gripping with the fingernails with a 1 run lead for 3 innings that you know will end up the way it did. Can't trust the bullpen to nail anything down.
