Maybe he can stop with the chaw already. Obviously it's been a huge distraction for him. He’ll have the Josh Hamilton issue and Nolan Ryan will rip on him lol

Hey Raffy don’t check Arroyo out of the way on that one!

Pitching staff has really come around, time for the offense to get back to where they were a month ago.

41-42, and yet the most direct way into the playoffs is to pass NYY and Toronto, who both look incredibly vulnerable. We're 10-1 this year against those two teams already. This team really should be able to get it together enough to pass them.

This team really should be able to get it together enough to pass them. The Rangers are overrated too, I could see their pitching going the way of the 2011 Sox in the second half. I’d be more optimistic if our hitting didn’t disappear a week at a time. Maybe Story plus a Devers emergence gets us there? The top of the AL is very crowded this year, it’s going to be complete chaos

Acuna has 20HR and 37SB’s and it’s still June.

Paxton is going back to Boston for the birth of his second kid (congrats, Maple). They can put him on paternity leave to bring up another arm this series right? Pivetta, Murphy still may be down from the other night.

Hard to believe, the Sox got their clocks cleaned by the Rays, Jays, and Yankees last year and it cost them the playoffs.
The prevailing wisdom was play less games against them and more against the weaker teams and all will be well.
So what happens? The Sox have beat up the Jays and Yankees to a tune of 10-1, but have gotten killed at Fenway by NL teams, whom theyve had the best interleague record against over the years, to the tune of 2-13, negating their greatness against two of their most bitter foes, and still relegating them to under .500, a cellar dweller. And likely to miss the post season yet again.
This goes to show you no matter how much you figure this and that about baseball, strange unaccountable, unanticipated things happen in baseball.

It’s truly a remarkable sport, nothing quite like it. That’s why we are all here I suppose Like look at the Mets and Marlins right now. Lol, LMAO, ROFL. There’s no predicting this game.

Fangraphs has Paxton's performance this year worth $11.2 million so far. He's earned out his whole contract in nine starts.

The guy only missed 7 pitches all game, 2 of which barely clipped the zone, including the most egregious one that's likely most of the +0.78 for Toronto barely clipped the zone. This is a good performance, if you complain about this then it's robots.

This is a good performance, if you complain about this then it's robots. I have no easy way of viewing the score card, but 7 misses, 2 of which barely clipped the zone, sounds like another way of saying 5 misses on pitches that weren't close. Even 1 miss on a pitch that isn't close is too many in my book, seeing as we have the technology to make this number consistently 0.
It's robots, indeed.

If you think that the machinery is going to be perfect I've got a bridge for you... I'm interested! Where is it? Robotic calls in tennis has completely taken out human error in calling balls in/out. Anyway, what are the umpires being compared to right now... robots, so of course accuracy is going to be 100%, depending on how they implement it.

It doesn't need to be perfect; accuracy is within an inch if I recall correctly, so even if it's not perfect it should eliminate the egregious errors that most seriously degrade the on-field product. Besides, umpires miss tens of thousands of calls per year; it's really not a hard bar to clear.

If you think that the machinery is going to be perfect I've got a bridge for you... I don't quite understand the clamor for robot umps. I like the human element in the game. I'm fine with replay for egregious misses, but I feel like taking away arguing over balls and strikes is a net negative to the tradition of the game. Imagine robbing Billy Martin of his antics, or Earl Weaver? There is something entertaining in the fallibility of humans, and the reaction to those failures that I think we will loose.
