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

Absolutely no idea what to expect. Two offensively slumping teams, the main objective to finish at a better record than the opponent. What will the meaning of this mid September baseball be?

Interesting night - Detroit beat KC, Minn lost - so Detroit 1.5 GB (18% chance) for WC 3, then Seattle 2 GB (10%), then Boston 4 GB (2.6%)

2024 so far series won - 16 first half, 8 second half series tied - 4 first half, 2 second half series lost - 11 first half, 8 second half total - 24 series won, 6 series tied, 19 series lost. I think they got swept more often than they've swept by a good margin. They also have been incapable of sustaining a winning streak. Is 5 their high this year? Something, whether shoddy defense, a bullpen meltdown, a bad start, or lack of offense, has conspired to prevent a winning streak of some sort. Here's to hoping next year's team can rip off 10 wins in a row and use that as a springboard to bigger and better things. |

2024 Sox comebacks history -- games where the team came back from < 25% chance of winning, or lost after getting > 75%.
March 30 to April 16: 1-4.
May 21 to July 5: 9-2.
July 19 to present: 1-11.
The last time the Sox came back to win was July 26 (.117, Abreu vs. the Yankees). And of course they blew a bigger lead (.921) the next day. In this stretch they have blown:
.921 vs. NYY (7/27) .821 at Texas (8/3) .836 vs. Hou (8/9) .962 vs. Texas (8/14) .809 at Hou (8/19) .904 vs. Ari (8/25) .784 vs. ChW (9/8) .937 at NYY (9/13)
Overall, 3-11 at home; 8-7 on the road, but that's 8-1 followed by 0-6.

Been meaning to ask you a statistical question. If you’re going to have a rotation of 5 RHP’s. How many lefties should you carry in the pen? I’m thinking a minimum of 3. Does that question after come up in the front office? Appreciate your thoughts. |

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go refresh my cocktail.

Just for the hell of it if season ended today were drafting 14. St Louis is 13 but were both .500 They have the tiebreaker (2023 regular standings), so if we tie, they get the better odds. Funnily enough, we are 4 games back of Pittsburgh/Texas who are at 5/6 in the tank standings, but also four games behind the Twins in the actual standings. |

not many peers amongst Story's ss defense. Next year, he has to play 162 and give us some offensive value to go with the great defense.

I had a flashback on that Casas bomb to the first one he hit in his career to the Ryan Brasier doppleganger who wouldn't give it back.

solo homeruns never really bother me, unless they are given up by a reliever in a tie game.

Well, we're up 2-1 still atleast... Junior Caminero is going to terrorize us for the four-five years he's on the Rays until he gets too expensive for them.

Rays players are too creative with their eyeblack and they wear too many jewels.

12 comments so far since the game started (4 1/2 innings). I wonder what the season low is?
