Dave O'Brien in the 9th inning game 7 vs. the Mets in 1986: There's no way that they needed to bring Stapleton in for defense in the 9th. Leave Buckner out there to get the WS victory on the field.
Right before it happened. He won't stop trying to jinx them.

Hell, McNamara should have PH Baylor for Buckner against Oroaco in the 8th and defensed with Stapleton.

Got a feeling the next 14 games are going to be a lot like these last 6. Lot of grinding games - not many easy ones. Still like our chances.

Much needed win. Toronto won and NY leads.
1st series win in Seattle since 2013. Even the 2018 Red Sox couldn't succeed in Seattle.

Dalbec's hot streak is now up to 6 weeks, which places him as the second best hitter in baseball since August 1st by wOBA (between Harper and Soto).

I did definitely remember that it was game 6, but not that it was the 10th inning. But DOB drives me insane with how he always tries to tempt the baseball gods.

Off-day tomorrow and then the Sox are home for 10 days after that. Time to get hot and make a run.

The national TV announcers did the same thing to the Sox that day that DOB does, jinx them.

Didn't the Red Sox comeback against the M's when they were down 6 in the 9th recently?

I'll take 3-3 on this road trip. 14 games to go, 8 wins might be enough (especially if 3 of those 8 are against the MFY) since it's now looking like a 3 team race, but let's see if we can get 9 or 10. I would break it into two tasks - the 3 games against the Yankees and the 11 games against the rest. Ideally we get 8 wins in those games (5-1 against Baltimore, 3-2 Wash/Mets) and then hope we can take the series against NY. It's definitely possible. Let's hope the bats heat up a bit.

I want home field and sale lined up to pitch. The hitting is finally almost to full power. Pitching hopefully comes around in time.

Toronto and NY keep winning too. I think 93 wins gets HFA, 92 wins is the magic number to make the playoffs and less than 91 leaves no chance. I think 91 wins is iffy. They need an average of 2-1 in each series and a split against the Mets. Beating the Yankees twice would be especially crucial.

Two walks today! I've said it before, but getting his BB and K rates into shape is the necessary and sufficient condition for him to be a successful major leaguer. (jimed, I think you know there's more to the story than Dalbec just being a "league average" hitter; he has a 108 wRC+, and even before today it was 114 since April 11th, 127 since June 1st, 157 in the second half. Now 117 for his career. And since his 400th career PA he has an OPS of 1.200. It's crazy to want to trade Devers away, but let's give Bobby his due.)
A lot of BABIP luck came home for the team today!
Great bullpenage today!
Great schedule going forward!
Great... guidas?

The Blue Jays had a 4-10 stretch in late August. I don't think those teams are holding the magic amulet or something... As constituted, they're both (along with the Red Sox) roughly .600 caliber teams. We only need to finish ahead of one of them. Plus they have a series against each other, and one of them will lose at least two of those games, so that's a good head start for us.

The Yankees have an easy stretch and then a tough stretch where they get the Sox, Blue Jays AND Rays on the road to close the season. Sox are lucky to be done with TOR in the regular season. They look pretty unbeatable these days.

Yes, I was exaggerating a little to emphasize that we shouldn't just dump 4-5 WAR players because of errors.

A two-run jack for the O's! Our win, an MFY loss and the burning of one of their games against the O's would be a significant lift.

Plus they have a series against each other, and one of them will lose at least two of those games, so that's a good head start for us. What are you talking about? The Jays were 4-10 at some point? So what? They're playing great now finally and they are in truth a much more talented team than Boston and New York. Plus they have the Twinkies for 7 games and the Orioles for 3 games. So what are you expecting for them for those 10 games? 5-5? C'mon. They have 3 games left at TB and 3 at home vs NY. That's it for tough games. I'd think they'd probably split those games. The Yankees have Baltimore and home games against Cleveland and Texas, a 10 game stretch including that makeup against Minnesota. Again, what are you expecting during that stretch? 3-7? Again, c'mon. They have 3 tough road games against Toronto which will be tough for them, and the series against the Sox will be tough, but their last 3 games are against a TB team with nothing to play for. I think they should win at least 7 of the 10 games. The Yankees, despite their flaws, will win most of their games, but what will make or break them is the 6 games against Toronto and Boston. The Sox won a crucial game today and have 9 games against cellar dwellers. The Sox have a big test against the Yankees, but beyond that should win more than 60% of their games if they don't underachieve. So you have 3 teams that should do a lot of winning over the next 2 weeks, so yeah, I expect to hear that each team won and needs to keep up quite often the next few weeks.
