They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

James Paxton is having a nice year. Peripherals are a bit ugly.

There better be a lot of Sox fans there!! I’ll be there tomorrow (Friday)! However I’m 0-2 seeing them out west here and they’re garbage on Fridays this year, so hoping they can buck the trend.

I’ve got the Sox taking 2 out of 3 here. Time to do damage to a Dodgers team that’s been pretty meh lately and also doesn’t have Mookie, Glasnow or Yamamoto. Gotta take advantage!

Sadly the heat advisory will keep a lot of older fans away who moved out here decades ago, like myself.
Had to cancel plans to go. No sense dying of record heat in Chavez Ravine. Trouble is the Dodgers wacky TV deal blacks out all local games unless subscribed or on Fox or ESPN. Have a nice cool pub with Lamb Shepherd’s Pie and Murphy’s to watch the game.

It feels like the All-Star break has been three months long. VERY ready for some real baseball.

Wait until they get a taste of Duran. Probably game planning around him. "Runs to first with a single, CF lobs it in. Duran standing on second. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Wow. Passed ball, pitcher doesn't cover the plate...Duran slides in to score." Sox up 1-0 in the first. I hate 10PM games.

This matchup is kinda reminiscent of the Yankees series where once you get past their elite hitters... that lineup is not super scary? Like Miguel Rojas has had himself a solid season, but he's no one's idea for a #5 hitter - which is where he's been at times with injuries to Mookie and Max Muncy.
Gotta limit the damage to Shohei & Freddie the best you can

I'm thinking we get good Pivetta tonight and Duran carries over the All-Star vibes.

Biggest x-factor for me in the 2nd half - - I’m looking at you Bello.

Biggest x-factor for me in the 2nd half - - I’m looking at you Bello. I agree with this, no one player will make or break their post season chances but if one might sway it most one way or another it's Bello in my eyes. I feel confident enough in Houck, Crawford and even Pivetta to be viable starters. If Bello can be that 4th viable SP then that'll go a long ways and lessens their need to go out of the org for an SP at the deadline. A bad Bello and all of a sudden the rotation starts to look pretty wobbly.

If Bello snaps into form and becomes solid, that #4 becomes a strong #5 - and injury insurance.

I'd aim higher than a #4 type if I were them but obviously they need to weigh the value. Either way some sort of SP at the deadline is a need in my eyes.

Would you guys consider a LHP opener vs that lineup?

I think we’d all agree however, Bello COULD be a #3 if he gets rolling again. If we get that, plus whatever acquisition we surely make to sure up the rotation, this team looks like possible league winners.
