I would keep Whitlock in there for the 9th despite the homer.

They’re talking about how great of a deadline Dombrowski had lol.

For people unsure about Apple TV, its very easy to cancel after one month and there is one more Red Sox game vs the Dodgers on there. Plus they have other mlb Friday night games and some shows. Foundation is the one I watched. Its only 7 dollars for one month.
There is also a 7 day free trial.

I still can’t get over how funny it is that Yosh is a great fit for Yankee stadium but he’s on the Red Sox.

I just caved and got the AppleTv subscription and Yosh immediately hits a three run homer after I turned it on. Already getting a good return on my investment!

If we could get something decent for Verdugo in a trade this off season I’d be fine with bringing back Duvall and then to start easing in Rafaela.
I’d hold onto Verdugo and let Duvall go if we can’t get something good for Verdugo though.

This offense is a groundball producing machine.

He’s made 42 appearances over the past two seasons, 19 of those starts. Really not that much of a workload. If his body can’t handle that without breaking down, then maybe pitching in the majors isn’t in the cards for him. Not really sure how that’s on the Sox It’s the bouncing back and forth from RP to SP to RP. It’s a different role, mentality and strain on the arm. He clearly has health issues. Moving him all over the place when he showed to be a solid RP is proving to be really dumb. Daniel Bard flashbacks

Is Friday’s game against the Yankees only on AppleTV?

Gutsy win hanging in there tough after the meltdown inning. What a pickup Pablo has been.
Not sure if anyone is watching Pivetta’s post game interview but he is really hard on himself and cares about winning… I definitely want him back next year.

Why is it that almost every scrub team the Sox play this year is scorching hot right before their series with Boston starts St. Louis was 3-7 in their previous 10 before sweeping the Sox. Reds were 5-5 before going 2-1 vs. the Sox. Rockies were 3-7 before going 2-1 vs. the Sox. Angels were 5-5 before sweeping the Sox in May. Guardians were 5-5 before going 2-1 vs Sox in June. White Sox were 3-7 before going 2-1 vs. Sox in June (they went 3-7 in their next 10 games). Oakland was 2-8 before going 2-1 vs. Sox in July. (they went 3-7 in their next 10 games). Pirates came into Fenway 1-2 in their first series of the season (against the then-lowly Reds) before sweeping the Sox in April. Any other teams you consider scrubs? These were all self-inflicted wounds. We'll see at the end of the season if they were fatal to making the playoffs. Damn. This is a very succinct assessment of why it's unlikely we make the playoffs this year.

This Yankees situation looks pretty rough for anyone who has been following them. They don’t have much of a rotation outside of Cole anymore and even some Yankee fans have rumbled about him opting out of his contract.

Crawford, Whitlock and Houck all run FIPs as starters this year that would make them mid-rotation guys if they can maintain it over a full season. Even Walter and Murphy haven’t looked bad, Drohan is a dark horse. So much better than the Lester/Buchholz to Bello interregnum that consisted of E-Rod (trade)and Brian Johnson/Velazquez for a decade. Our rotation outside of Sale is like $10M this year (minus Kluber not contributing anything), so it’s moving in the right direction Murphy has at times been amazing. He had one outing he got killed but otherwise has kept us in this race.

I’d far rather trade Verdugo. Masa is signed to an affordable contract, and he’s a better hitter. Moot, because I imagine a 0% chance Masa gets dealt. Agreed, Bloom has not talked to Verdugo about an extension, and Bloom likes to maximize value, so I see Verdugo traded. My theory for why Duvall was not traded is because Bloom wants to re-sign him for a year or two. The trade deadline was the best time to trade Verdugo, his value will take a hit with less control and some clubhouse issues emerging.

If anything the team spent too much last year and should have got under the cap. It appears Bloom learned his lesson this year.

This is perhaps a stupid question but is Song potentially an Arizona Fall League guy?

Mariners lose. Sox pick up a game on the Astros, M’s and Yanks. It could be fortunate we play the Yanks next week right as they are falling apart.

No help from the Cubs or Marlins today Not so fast my friend. WFAN gonna be a blast the next few days! Between that, the Yankees rotation collapsing and the Rodón contract, the Bronx is going to be a very dark place for the rest of this season.

Any update on Turner? Yosh looks lost at the plate.
