Xander has pulled within 101 points of Mookie's 2018 OPS. He's up to .977.

Walden only threw 6 pitches and the leverage index for the 8th inning is only 0.15. Probably leave him in for another.

Xander is 2nd in fWAR in the AL behind Trout, so it has been an unbelievable, great season. But 101 points is still a lot, and that's with Xander just raking all year!

If Mookie and Sale get hot, they get good Eovaldi back, and Darwinzon and Houck shove, how do people feel about the math?

This has been a particularly delightful game because having all cylinders firing at once has been quite rare this season. Enjoying the hell out of Thursday afternoon baseball here!

I hate day games. I see Devers is still punishing the blue jays. Darwinzon is warming up.

More base running mistakes. Should have scored there on the fly ball.

A futures game...Raffi and Darwinzon. Cool. To be 22 and so talented.
Bravo, Chris Sale!

Was hoping to see Darwinzon in the 9th here. If he can continue to harness his command in one-inning stints, he's flashed the ability to be an absolute weapon.

That was impressive. Darwinzon might be the new Andrew Miller with his control problems harnessed in a relief role. Hopefully that happens.

Yup... 9 over .500, 3 against the Os next. Gotta keep winning these types, turn it around and chip away at MFY and Tampa.

Darwinzon has struck out 15 in 7.1 innings so far.
And finally Sale got his Fenway win. Thank god that's over because it's the dumbest thing that has happened in the last 11 months.

We are a few days away from an Eovaldi-Hernandez-Workman-Barnes bullpen and it's going to be awesome.

Also interesting to note that our record would put us at 3rd best team in the NL.

If Sale was an ace he would go out tomorrow and give the team 8 innings. I don't care if he wins or not. He must deliver 8 innings. He will be lucky to get through five at 100 pitches. It's who he is. And you were saying??
