And so it begins......... If the Sox pulled it off, it would be just as great as the 2004 comeback. eh, no.

You won game 5, you had Lowe, Pedro, and a hurt Schilling (still good). The Sox will have to comeback with no Sale in 2019.

This is my 52nd year of loving this team through thick and thin...no way I am going to quit now! Hard core (and hard ass!) all the way. Got me beat by a couple years. 1970 Yaz was in the first pack of baseball cards I ever opened. Always good to have the younger guys on board.

30/100 for a short stop in one swing. The dream season for a short stop in baseball.

Once again we realize that we kept the right catcher! He really is raking this season...such a delight to see. Coming into the game CVaz had a .805 OPS, Realmuto .805. Realmuto had a bang up night and is now OPSing .821.

At the end of the season, we will probably have
4 100-run scorers 3 100-plus RBI 2 with 50 plus doubles 7 with 20 plus home runs A catcher with 20 plus home runs ERod with 20 wins (?!?!)

Arrenado is sooo great defensively. He's putting a clinic in this series.

30/100 for a short stop in one swing. The dream season for a short stop in baseball. X will cross 100 HRs, 1,000 hits this season at age 26. He is on pace for a great HOF case. Obviously early, but...

PBP guy doing ok. Not Orsillo quality but an improvement nevertheless. Is DOB just getting a break or was he suspended? He's doing some games for the ACC Network. Will miss quite a few games in Sept too. From the Globe: "NESN play-by-play announcer Dave O’Brien will miss nine games in the coming weeks to call football games for the ACC Network. Tom Helmer, who has done studio work at NESN, will work the Rockies series with Todd Walker. Alex Faust, who calls Los Angeles Kings games, will handle Sept. 7 game against the Yankees and the Sept. 14-15 series at Philadelphia. Will Fleming, who has had games on the radio side this season, will have the Sept. 20-21 games at Tampa Bay and Pawtucket Red Sox broadcaster Mike Monaco will be on the Sept. 27-28 games against the Orioles."

And yet another nice play by him Unbelievable. Top 3 player in the league. What a player. 121 wRC+ from a third baseman isn't that special, and he's 9th in the NL in fWAR this year. Top 3 seems a stretch.

Combined with that elite defense, it's close. Top 5 player at least. He doesn't have down years either. He's averaged 120 wRC+ every year since he's been in the league.
