This is getting wild...CB has to bring his roster juggling A game to make all of this work redsoxpayroll had them at 0.5M$ below the limit...and they signed/claimed 4 or 5 people after that...at this point you have to wonder if they are able to stay under...wouldn't be surprised if they end up less than 100k below at the end of the season.

Tampa can certainly strike fast. Their stats don't dazzle, but all they seem to do is hit in the right spots and score. Another type of wizardry - how they seem to always find guys to do the job, even if they don't do it for their former teams.

Vazquez saving another umpire from a spill
That’s a bad one, get him into the back
Another reason to bring in the robots back there

is this the 3rd or 4th time in the last month we've seen an ump get KOd by a foul. Wow.

2 more hits given up already on 0-2 pitches. I don’t care that Diaz’s was a swinging bunt…bury the freaking slider down and in. Throw the fastball shoulder height to Cruz.
Crawford gave up either 3 or 4 0-2 hits yesterday. That’s 12u baseball stuff.

Yeesh. Another bum starter for the Red Sox. Where do they find these guys?

While the game is in a pause - who would have predicted the following on our active roster in September in the middle of fighting for a playoff spot -
Crawford, Robles, Davis, Gonsalves, Schreiber, Feliz (and, once, Rios) - and Lopez, Arauz, Schwarber, Motter, Iglesias, Shaw, Santana, Munoz...who's next? Seabold next? So weird.
You could call this a "Motter-ly" crew, I suppose...

I am not going to be angry at Sale for that 50-foot roller.

Seabold next? So weird. The funny thing is if you asked me in April who was mostly likely to be here in September impacting the team I would have said Seabold, who hasn’t had his name called yet lol

The 2 in the first inning definitely weren’t. He left a cutter out over the plate to Rosario and then a fastball at the top of the zone to Reyes. The one to Straw was a curve down but bury the curve so he can’t possibly hit it if he offers.

What the hell man, this is so dumb. What's next? a 290 foot pop up grand slam off the pesky pole?

Rays have 4 hits with a xBA of .167. Every ball they put in play was a hit in the first inning.

This seems like the 12th time the Red Sox have faced Yarborough.

Ellis reminds me (same as with Lenny), that I miss having Eck and/or Remy in the booth.

Another piss missile from Renfroe And looks exactly the same in the box score as the balls not hit hard enough to make it to Devers.

Very nice approach in that at bat by JD - he should be eating up a junk baller like Yarborough.

Getting Yarborough's pitch count up. Too bad Raffi couldn't just take the walk on that.
