Blue Jays and Orioles: In a dogfight for fourth place

Yankees and Rays: Losing a shit ton of games all of a sudden

Red Sox subplot:

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The @RedSox were 37-48 on July 1. They have not lost since and are now 48-48.

No other MLB team in the 21st century has gone from being 10+ games under .500 to being even .500 without losing a single game.

@Nyanasaur Ah I see. Counterpoint: he's cool and I love him.

Checkmate.

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@Nyanasaur Wouldn't Rafaela's xwOBA being higher than his wOBA imply that he's actually been mildly UNLUCKY? Unless I'm misunderstanding xwOBA vs. wOBA.

Average Ceddanne Rafaela At Bat in 2026

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@BostonStrong_34 WE ARE OFFICIALLY MID!!!

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@picklesbaseball How can you not be romantic about baseball

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@James_XLI @DanBFox1287 To be fair, this team literally just needs to be average offensively to be a championship threat. If we put up even like 4-5 runs a game on average we'd be well over 0.500.

TEARS ARE IN MY EYES

[Red Sox @RedSox]

For the first time in his career, Ceddanne Rafaela is an All-Star! ⭐️

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@MattGross87 @BostonStrong_34 Oh dear. I wonder what happened last time the sox had a very bumpy flight.

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@WeathersWins You hate the red sox so much you'd praise our team to prove a red sox fan wrong

That's love of the game right there.

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@DanBFox1287 I honestly look forward to this meme more than actually making it to 0.500

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@RomansReign617 I'm hoping for a bullpen game because if I paid actual united states dollars to watch Bello I'll cry

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

This is Payton Tolle erasure and I will not stand for it

[MLB @MLB]

2026 All-Star Kevin McGonigle leads the way in the latest AL Rookie of the Year Poll 👏

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@wilyerforever Im generally with you, though the as and mariners are probably a smidge higher

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

BTW, that home run last night was the first given up by Aroldis Chapman since July 23rd, 2025.

NEARLY ONE YEAR WITHOUT A SINGLE HOME RUN GIVEN UP (47.2 IP if my math is right)

[Dylan Black @DBlack2021]

@BostonStrong_34 THE JOURNEY TO #1 BEGINS TODAY
