Feel for the fans at this game. What a snooze fest.

So anxious to leave town that they forgot how to hit? Scheduled loss. The good news is that the road has been very very good to them. |

Shaping up to be a Loser Leaves Town series this weekend with the Tigers, with both us and them competing to be vying to be the last team standing were Minnesota to combust

Toronto is terrible at challenges. That ball obviously glanced off the shoe.
ADD: And once again I am confused by how the announcers can't even see what's happening even in slo-mo.
ADD2: Call is confirmed after about 15 seconds.

Bello did it to them. Francis did it to us.

Duran goes 0 for 4 and the team cant get out of its own way offensively. Coincidence? I think not.

did you watch the rotation of the ball? No change what so ever which would indicate no contact with the shoe. I think the Sox got a break but didn't really matter in the end. |

Way to win 2 of 5 at home against a great Blue Jays team. Sure things will be great when the schedule eases up, um yeah.
They can make up the deficit and win the 3rd wild card. I no longer believe they will. Oh maybe they get hot and catch up but theyd give it right back. The team just finds too many ways to lose.

It visibly compressed the material of the shoe, and you could see a deflection too. The goblins in New York agreed, apparently, as they didn't just let the call stand but confirmed it. |

This was really a disaster home stand. Now the offense is drying up.

Felt like coming in that if they didn’t win this series to get back on track the season was effectively over. But then the Twins went ahead to get swept on their own 1-5 home-stand. The Baseball Gods and the Netflix Gods keep giving them lifelines… |

FG has them at 19.6 percent to make the PS. I'm not sure whether that includes tonight's loss. The FG data crunch takes strength of schedule into account, of course, so we can't gin up hope based on playing a lot of games against creampuff teams in the last month.
This isn't a knock on CB2 because I'm not sure what other RP acquisition options he had at the deadline, but it seemed clear at the time that Garcia and Sims weren't nearly enough to rescue the BP. Nobody expected them to both go all-out Gagne on us.
At least tonight answered one question for us. We should be all in on a QO for Rich Hill! 😄

Can I just copy/paste the Hamilton IL stint (or tonight's lineup card) to various threads about how we have too many position players and simply must trade some of them Well, Story, Grissom, and Hamilton are all injured, and even still they have Rafaela, Romy, Valdez, Sogard, Wong, and Gasper for the middle infield, and that's to say nothing of two blue chip prospects in Mayer and Campbell and another solid prospect in Meidroth. I feel like they could still afford to trade one or two of those guys! They can definitely afford to make some trades, and might. I’m objecting to the “have to” qualifier. This game is an arms race and a war of attrition. Or rather, that’s what it is for the 10 or so teams that aren’t content to project for 80-84 wins and hoping to luck into a wild card spot. |

Our old friend Schreiber blew the game for KC. There's that - but I think KC is now a bit beyond reach. It's us or the Twins at this point.

Red Sox next 9 games - 69-65
3 at Detroit - the middle one is the tough one (Pivetta/Skubal). Detroit is still breathing at 68-67
3 at Mets - can we take 2/3?
3 Home White Sox - can we sweep?
we take 7 of 9 - record 76-67
MN next 9 games - 72-61
3 home Toronto - Toronto is hot - but MN at home - MN takes 2
4 at Tampa - MN splits a good guess
2 at KC - KC takes 2.
MN takes 4 of 9 - record 76-66
If that happens, the gap closes.

Lorenzen is injured, Erceg and Pasquatino both left the game with injuries. Lugo and Ragans at their career innings highs, so September can be crazy. I don’t love our chances since we’re not playing quality baseball, but these other teams are far from perfect too… |
