That was an impressive at bat for Chavis. He got 6 straight fastballs 96-98 and fouled off the first 5 and got a hit on the 6th.
edit- hopefully JBJ's mini slump is over already.

Nunez has the ugliest at bats on the team - no patience, swings at balls, kills rallies. For the zillionth time - why is he playing so regularly?

Have to be thrilled with Brasier getting 5 outs.

Xander to the rescue. Getting tired here, but glad I stayed up to see that. Wow.

Just installed that on my phone, my new favorite app! Thanks! No problem. Glad to help. But if you're going to use it, you might want to download an app that can help you locate mental health professionals available on a moment's notice, too. Such is life with this BP. But I love X-rated HRs!!! Let's see if we can keep Barnes out of this game now. That way he'll be available tomorrow.

I swear, some of Barnes' curveballs look like the first time he has ever thrown it in his life. Then other times, they are like the best pitches of all time.

A little dribble single here could net Nunez 4 or 5 more games in the lineup.

Well, it's a win. It was sloppy. Good thing the Tigers are awful and have absolutely no pitching whatsoever. It allowed the Red Sox to withstand some shoddy defense and some less than stellar bullpen performances. Can't play that type of game against a team of a better caliber and expect to win. Fortunately the Tigers hardly qualify as better caliber.

Hard to win consistently when you have to score at least 7 runs a game.

Really at this point, it doesn't matter who they are banking wins against. They just need to bank them. The season could go down to the very last game, which stinks and would hurt their world series chances by a little.

Mike Trout. Cody Bellinger. Christian Yelich.
That's the complete list of MLB players who have been better than Rafael Devers if you pro-rate his fWAR from 4/15, when he changed his batting stance, to the whole season.
(Even without that tweak he now ranks 9th. Xander is 6th, which makes him 7th.)
His last 19 games: 82 PA, .461 / .500 / .842. This is not, BTW, because he's evened off his strange spits where he's ridiculous against LHP at home and RHP on the road, and less good against RHP at home and LHP on the road. He's just elevated all his numbers but with the same pattern.

Hard to win consistently when you have to score at least 7 runs a game. Counterpoint: hard to lose consistently when you score at least 7 runs a game, which they've done in 13 of their last 20. Not coincidentally, they're 13-7 in those 20 games.

Do Xander AND JD really need a day off on the same day, especially when we're a few days from the all star break? really strange to run out this lineup at this time.
Betts RF, Devers 3B, Vázquez DH, Benintendi LF, Chavis 1B, Bradley Jr. CF, Holt SS, Hernández 2B, León C, Porcello

Betts RF, Devers 3B, Vázquez DH, Benintendi LF, Chavis 1B, Bradley Jr. CF, Holt SS, Hernández 2B, León C, Porcello Both are going to the All Star game. They will not get much of a rest over the All Star game break.

I suppose Betts will have tomorrow off if that's really the reason. Gotta give them all a break, what with the 3 innings they'll have to play on Tuesday coming up.
