Gosh... do we really want Hill AND Hanigan in the same lineup in the thick of a pennant race? Give me Vazquez if León needs a day.

Can the mods start the Blue Jays series thread during this off day? Folks may want to start talking about. (And in fact I have some Estrada numbers that people will be glad to see.) I hope your Estrada numbers make me feel better, as it always feels like that guy is dealing.

I don't think people are overreacting. This team has lost way too many clunkers in the second half. Some of these performances are flummoxing.

It is tough to feel comfortable with Kimbrel out there. Watching him pull his fastballs down and away to RHH was old in June. Not pretty.
Edit: Oh, and CAN WE PLEASE GET AN ACTUAL OUTFIELDER TO PLAY LEFT?!?

Seeing our bench players (obviously a non-factor if Benintendi is back) play left field like this makes it an even bigger joke that Castillo isn't up. All the same... how awful are the A's? Talk about mailing it in!

If Moncada hits/sticks at 3B, what would be your ideal lineup? Assuming Benintendi can come back... Pedroia 2B Bogaerts SS Ortiz DH Betts RF Ramirez 1B Bradley CF Benintendi/Young LF Léon C Moncada 3B

My apologies if this has already been gone over but would he be available to play in the playoffs if he ends up giving them more down the stretch than Shaw/Hill? Yep. I had the same question, and it seems Moncada would be good to go in the event that the Sox make it to the postseason.

Totally agree on the Mets booth. Their games are really fun because of those three.

I have to disagree. It isn't the announcer's job to educate the audience about baseball. Personality is key, and O'Brien has very little of it. Orsillo had a warm, genuine, light tone mixed with authentic enthusiasm for the team. O'Brien is so mechanical. My dream booth would definitely be Orsillo and Eck.

I'm sort of hazy on postseason eligibility, but wouldn't Moncada be ineligible for the playoffs if he isn't up before September 1st? Nope, he just has to be in the organization Ahhhh... that makes more sense. Thanks.

Why can we seemingly never have traditional 1:00 starts on Saturdays? I am so tired of these weekend night games.

JBJ's average has just plummeted. We need one of his Jim Lahey hitting benders.

Golly... Clay was looking pretty strong there. Let's hope this doesn't blow up in Farrell's well-defined jawline this time.

What a PISS ROD by Jackie. Serious authority going the other way.

I realize Bundy has some filthy stuff, but I'm glad to see Tillman pushed back. It seems like he always shuts down the Sox.

Hell of a play by Pedey there. Let's get some runs.

I like this lineup a lot. Betts protecting Dave should give the big fella an opportunity or two. Gotta step up tonight, Eddie! Big ballgame!

Moncada will be in Boston this year. Not saying he's staying here for ever but unless his injury is worse than expected... I expect him in Boston soon. The offense lost with Ortiz could be mostly replaced in house with Benintendi upgrading the left field spot and Xander adding some additional power. I wouldn't go spending big long term dollars to Edwin and giving up a first rd pick. Amen.

Brilliant performance by this season's true ace. Wright has been a true horse for us, and he gave the pen another needed rest. Kudos to Sandy Leon, too.
