Nah. Abreu wins it easily.

Why?

That would be my ideal scenario. Sox win the division and #3 seed to get the Astros at home. That’s the best possible first round matchup but unfortunately with Oakland dropping a DH today not going to happen

And the Yankees are 11-18 on the road this season.

Easily Yankees at home.

Why? Much rather play NYY at home than Oakland or Minnesota on the road.

Astros

Let’s make it 14-0 against left starters this year

It’s never as bad as it seems during the bad times and never as good as it seems during the good times. This is still a good team, they’re just not great yet. Despite this recent bad stretch, there’s still a chance to make a deep playoff run.

It’s situations like that where the only guys I want hitting are Abreu or Madrigal.

Tigers just took the lead in the 7th. Hopefully they can hold the lead.

Hopefully the Tigers can steal one in Minny. If they do, the Sox still control their own destiny heading into the weekend Cubs series even if they get swept in Cleveland.

Our public grade school is back in hybrid model as of last week. Two groups of kids, group A attends in-person Monday and Tuesday while group B attends in-person Thursday and Friday. Going well so far. My sister works for an adjacent grade school and I guess they are finally preparing for hybrid as well. Apparently the parents were quite irate at the last school board meeting and made it quite clear that they were displeased with all remote.

That early season Twitter post from pnoles about Sox recent lack of success with free agent hitters sure appears to be a real thing.

Thought he was on the 40 man. Guess he’s not

Not that it is going to happen but if Vaughn gets promoted in the playoffs does that start service time? No, right?

I was previously told by multiple posters on this site whenever the question of framing came up that baseball savant was the most accurate. Is that no longer the case???

Only because he’s caught more pitches. On a rate basis, McCann is better this season.

I guess I’m not the only dummy that prefers McCann this season

Based on what metric this season? And why is Edwin playing over McCann? That’s the biggest question. Despite the occasional home run, not a fan of DHing a guy with an OPS of sub 700.

And yet Jimmy has been the better framer this season.

No

You were lied to

Thought McCann couldn’t hit righties? @southsider2k5
