8/3-8/5 Red Sox @ Tigers Thread

What's that best bat hitting with the Red Sox right now? How's that glove looking?

But, I should be fair though. Their big bullpen acquisition paid off today and Martin Pérez continues to dazzle. It's not like his fall off wasn't happening for awhile now.

Yeah, a guy coming off TJ and a guy with a groin strain playing a brand new position.

Yankees have Severino and Kluber coming back as well if we're going to use the injured players.

At least it's something. What's the point of standing in place? You don't believe in this squad, fine. Watch this team miss the playoffs now.

Is there a way to make somebody’s posts disappear on here?

Yes, but I always make the mistake of clicking "Display Post" and then you always see the post anyway when someone quotes it.

Imagine how you'd be acting if they sold and won 7 straight?

Davis looks… not so good. Brice-y.

Robles didn’t look good today, but you gotta love the gas. Maybe they can get him going.

But can’t win if you don’t score. Tough day. But… just one. I think we ate gunna get a Raffy streak soon.

This is bad. Can they just DFA Perez and Richards? Bring up Houck and Seabold. See what they have in those two...

Losing 2 out of 3 to Detroit is embarrassing. This team is so lifeless recently.

Time to see what Ort has in his arsenal to help this bullpen.

Well, good. You enjoy them no matter what they do. I prefer them when they win.

You want to talk baby, I distinctly remember you offering to quit the board forever if the Sox missed the playoffs in 2019.

I think this somehow needs to be reiterated even though it was stated like 20 min ago

You're being over the top ridiculous.

Perez and Richards will not be starting 10 days from now and there will still be 40 something games to play.

They're going to have Sale/Eovaldi/E-Rod/Pivetta/Houck. Maybe Seabold makes some September starts.

I'd stick with Duran. Giving up after about 40 ABs is ridiculous.

They will hopefully get some more help with Arroyo and Brasier return.

Will they finish first? Maybe. Probably not, but it's not out of the question.

Will they blow both wild card spots? Possibly, but not likely.

I think the most likely scenario is that the Yankees play the Sox at Fenway for the Wild Card game. The second most likely scenario is that the Sox play the Yankees at Yankee Stadium for the Wild Car game.

Oakland is about 1.5 games better than NY and I don't think they'll hang onto it. Maybe both the Yanks and Jays charge, but they'd both have to kick butt and they both will play each other handing the other losses and damaging the others' chances, and the M's are really over their heads, so I think the Sox and Yanks are most likely the wild cards.

If the Sox revert back to driving in runs without needing a HR, then maybe they'll start winning some games. Get Sale, and the others back, and they'll keep winning games. They just have to make sure they drown over the next week.

No need to be in full panic mode. It's ok to be annoyed, but this, "They should have sold" stuff is complete nonsense.
