With Walker out of the rotation who is up next? Tolle or Harrison?

What teams that went all in or “more in” than the Sox are really tearing it up post deadline?

Honestly I am not mad about the trade deadline moves anymore and perhaps Breslow knows what he is doing. Maybe.

When the turd just doesn’t want to come out…

Hell of a performance for Giolito and a big congrats to Trevor Story on 200 career home runs! Great to see David Hamilton have the offensive day that he had, hopefully this can give him some confidence on the offensive end going forward to complement his defense at second base.

Although a 5-0 win, if we are being nit picky, the strikeouts continue to be a problem. Everyone struck out at least once with the exception of Hamilton and Lowe, but the team found a way to win the game and that is the most important takeaway here in this critical part of the season.

In the midst of a long stretch of games without a day off, it is crucial to have some starts like this one from Giolito to give the arms in the bullpen the night off. I am really looking forward to see what Bello can do tomorrow.

In terms of the standings, not much changed from yesterday as the Yankees and Royals won their respective games, but the Mariners did drop their game which creates a little separation with them. Although the Astros are leading their division, the Red Sox do have a better record then them which is interesting. The Mariners only trail the Astros in their division by 1.5 games so that situation will be interesting to monitor in the AL. All signs are pointing toward an Astros vs Mariners wild card match up right now, but the question will be who gets the home field advantage. Again, their is plenty of time and this could change any day.

Overall, the Red Sox just need to continue handling business like they have this week. I look forward to the next two for the Red Sox as Bello and Crochet get the nod. The next three are at home against a struggling Pirates team, so hopefully these guys can continue to string together wins.

SP: Walker Buehler C: Connor Wong 1B: Triston Casas 2B: Romy Gonzalez 3B: Abraham Toro SS: Trevor Story LF: Masataka Yoshida CF: Nate Eaton RF: Jarren Duran DH: Nathaniel Lowe

Bonus: you can probably also add it literally every relief pitcher besides Chapman

With the Yankees looking at a big hole at SS and the Red Sox succession plan (Mayer) a significant durability risk, Story seems at least fairly likely to use his opt-out.

From a business perspective, do you guarantee him the extra year to keep him off the market or do you let him get more elsewhere given the first 3 years of his time here

They should really rest him for the playoffs at let’s say 139.1 innings.

Hey, if anyone that goes to this game wants to try and help me find the Pokémon shirt (and anything else themed/related) that would be really awesome.

Have a really Pokémon passionate Sox fan in my house and we can't make it to the park.

Average MLB celly

Nathan Eovaldi is done for the year after being diagnosed with a rotator tear. While I have no interest in seeing the Rangers win, it's hard not to root for Eovaldi after how much he meant to the Sox in 2018 and 2021.

I've been watching the Sox on Fubo since ditching Spectrum. They have most of the games, but I have been stuck with the Orioles feed for every game against Baltimore. These yokels are insufferable. Fubo was carrying the NESN feed for the Yankees and most of the other games I have seen. Any suggestions for an alternative?

Sweet autograph I got... For only 5$.
