Hopefully Nate can be the stopper tomorrow but right now it's a tough time for the Red Sox. 1.) Devers with a hammy injury might be back tomorrow hopefully. 2.) Xander has been slowed down with a wrist injury not quite himself. 3.) JD is slumping something fierce right now 4-35 4.) Dalbec and Duran trying to cut teeth at the Pro Level 5.) The starting pitching minus Nate has been struggling 6.) Vazquez has regressed with his defense that is a concern also silly base running mistakes 7.) Average at best trade deadline 8.) 2B and 1B uncertainties Positives: 1.) Still in first place 2.) Chris Sale is close to returning 3.) Added big power LH bat 15 Days from now.4.) Whitlock and Houck have been sensational 5.) Barnes and the bullpen have been terrific 6.) Alex Cora managing and teams never say die attitude 33 come from behind wins 7.) Great Draft Immaterial for this season and its outcome.
8.) 10-3 vs. Spankees Who got significantly better at the deadline offensively.9.) Best left side in Baseball with Xander and Rafa Both of whom are (or appear to be) injured.10.) Outfield has been super defensively! This team will fight on just need to take 2 out of 3 mentality in every series. Been a great year so far 63-42! More than "mentality." They virtually have to do that every time they play TB from here on out and about 55% of the time with everyone else going forward to retain first place.

He should sue Manfred and MLB for springing that rule on them mid-season and imperiling his very time-limited career. And I am not kidding.

I never have seen any logic presented to explain how that hurt his elbow. Agreed. Should be worth a beefy settlement. ADDED: These are all in jest. I hope I am not offending the many lawyers or serial litigants on the board.

81 pitches today. That means Sale would theoretically be clear to throw 95-96 on his next start. If he feels good tomorrow, anyone see why that start shouldn't be Friday against the Jays?

I see lots of reasons as I mentioned in the other thread. What do they do if he has a 30+ pitch stressful inning, then gets bombed after that and doesn't snap back for his next start? Put him on the IL again since he wasn't ready? Just because you can pitch 90 pitches, doesn't mean you can do it in 3 innings. It also doesn't mean that you can pitch 30/10/10/10/10/10/10.

How many Red Sox fans are going to turn this game on in the 3rd or 4th inning thinking it's about to start? Why is it a 6:10 start?

X marks the spot. That was a relief to see. The Sox have tagged Yarlborough this season. Hopefully Eovaldi is solid and soaks up some innings.

Why is Richards wearing eye black, particularly when he is not pitching?
