Young people, let me tell you of a Hall of Fame closer that once donned the Red Sox uniform and who would take the mound with deep, quiet confidence before letting two, sometimes three players get on before locking it down. Oh, to watch Lee Arthur. That was a Smithian performance by Kenley. But an important, bizzare game and win.

Fabulous sweep. Yankees on an 8-game losing streak, 60-64, dead last in the East, 6 games behind us.
Seattle and Toronto both won again, but the bright side is that Seattle's destruction of Houston has made it a four-horse race for two spots:
Houston: 70-55 Seattle: 69-55 Toronto: 69-56 Boston: 66-58
38 games left. 7 of those are against Houston, and 3 more are against Toronto. Huge 10-day stretch coming up.

I'm not sure I didn't hallucinate this game.

This season has been a success in my book. Don’t care that much of what’s gonna happen the rest of the way.

Fantastic Weekend!
If we get this Devers for the rest of the season look out!
JT has been something else. Never misses a chance to drive in a run
Pablo has been incredible. I keep waiting for him to cool off but he won’t let it happen

Those tiebreakers matter!

The Pablo, Turner, Urias and of course Raffy SHOW buries the Yankees.
Not trying to count our chickens before.... But this team is starting to feel really special. Just so likeable and volatile.

Never want to see someone get hurt but it looks like we will get our first look at a new OF prospect.
Curious if it's Wilyer or Ceddanne. Would be surprised if it's the latter.

This season has been a success in my book. Don’t care that much of what’s gonna happen the rest of the way. Agreed. This Sox team is overachieving while the Yankees are underachieving on a level we haven’t seen in 30ish years? Not only that, but the Sox are also 8-1 head-to-head against the Yankees? Incredible.

It’s a toe contusion according to the Sox so maybe a day or 2 of rest but if it’s IL time, I want Wilder to get the call: 28/25 BB/K in July and August with good defense and a canon for an arm.

Red Sox overachieving? Which players have done significantly better than reasonable expectations? Duran, maybe Crawford, maybe Paxton, and...?

Justin Turner with +.615 WPA today. He was already 17th in baseball in WPA before today's game, and will be right around the top 10 after. Bring him back

How sweep it is. If the Yankees werent already dead that should finish them off. That was going to be a painful loss for whoever lost and if the Sox blew 4 leads today....but they didnt.
I'm a bottom line guy, no virtual substitutes, and bottom line the Sox won and swept a bad Yankees team.
When they talked about the stretch of softies and the gauntlet, the Yankees were seen as one of the gauntlet, but truthfully they're a softy. With the exception of KC, the gauntlet starts now.

Connor Wong, Winckowski and Pablo Reyes come to mind
