Good job boys. If we win Tuesday..... series start Wed? Sale through 62 pitches.... can he give 1-2 innings on Tuesday if needed?

Cora really managed his ass off this season. Big props to Alex.

So, this may a bit earlier, but ALEX CORA FOR MANAGER OF THE YEAR??? I guess he knew what he was doing putting Richards in...

Didn't like using Pivetta but he was awesome.
I guess once the Yankees got in it was inevitable after all that the Sox were getting in, to face the Yankees.

What about the jays the money spent, the prospects dealt at deadline. They put a lot into this.
Me culpa, I apologize to Pivetta.
You know we’re in good shape if we beat MFY, then we can go to Sale or ERod. If the MFY beats us they don’t have Cole. Home game too. It’s gonna be crazy. Tuesday is remdog day.

Also underrated, but Perez helped to quiet things down today, that really helped to shift the momentum

This pretty much cements Robles as the closer going forward. He’d obviously be in tonight if he hadn’t pitched in 5 of the last 6. You certainly could have won a bet with me with that premise on July 31st. I seriously think this is in part an audition for Pivetta to get postseason save opportunities. I kinda doubt that. Teams need four starters in playoffs, and Houck, despite his great game, is not the Sox fourth starter.

The Yankees sweeping the Sox hurt the Jays but their last chance was that final game with Ray on the mound. They needed to take the rubber game of that series against the Yankees and failed to. Then they sweep Baltimore but so did the Sox with the Nats so bye-bye Jays, still in my opinion the 2nd best team in the division not that it'll do them any good.

Also Derek Lowe 2004, it’s not inconceivable

So do we go the offensive lineup or better defense?
No Iglesias for playoffs

A big development in this game was Whitlock having a clean inning. He'll be available on Tuesday, maybe for two innings. Houck could also give us one. That should limit the need to roll out the dreck.

Jay's are gonna be a force for the upcoming years. If they can keep what they have and bolster the pitching, YIKES!

I seriously think this is in part an audition for Pivetta to get postseason save opportunities. I kinda doubt that. Teams need four starters in playoffs, and Houck, despite his great game, is not the Sox fourth starter. I'm not sure anymore, but it's sort of a moot point. They could go with a 3-man rotation with ERod on a short-leash: Tues - Eovaldi (5 days) Thurs - ERod (5 days) Fri - Sale (4 days) Sun - Eovaldi (4 days) Mon - ERod? (3 days) Wed - Sale (4 days) If Sale struggles Friday, then you probably see them go with a 4-man rotation, push ERod to Wednesday, and Pivetta for game 4. If he's lights out then I think you try to get Sale going again for game 5. I think Houck could be set up for game 4, but in reality I think he's coming out of the pen prior to that, likely behind Sale in game 2 (or even ERod if he struggles in game 1). Regardless, whether it's Pivetta or Houck in the starting rotation, I look at that as a bullpen game with them getting yanked in the 4th or 5th at the sign of first struggle.

We have to win the Eovaldi against Cole matchup. It’s going to be hard to beat them bullpen against bullpen
