Get the tiebreaker and let’s go home
My friend Josh came in last place in fantasy (again)
His punishment is to stay at a bar from open to close (7AM - 2AM)
Each beer takes off 15 minutes, each shot takes off 30 minutes (the shots can only be liquor)
Stay tuned
Red Sox:
Last 9 games: 9-0 (best in MLB)
Last 20 games: 17-3 (best in MLB)
Last 30 games: 27-3 (best in MLB)
Last 40 games: 33-7 (best in MLB)
Last 50 games: 37-13 (best in MLB)
Last 60 games: 41-19 (best in MLB)
Last 70 games: 45-25 (best in MLB)
The game of the year, without a doubt, and one of the greatest regular-season games ever.
The Chicago White Sox held a lead within every inning from the third inning through the 12th on Thursday night -- 10 straight innings of leads. And lost in the 13th.
What a win for the Red Sox.
George Lombard Jr. has a career .763 OPS in the Minor Leagues (4 seasons) and he's hit just 26 home runs in almost 1500 plate appearances. Add to that, 43 errors in the field
Yet another example of Yankees fans and media completely overhyping a guy who appears pretty mediocre.
On the morning of July 4th, the Boston Red Sox were 10 games BELOW .500.
On the night of August 4th, the Boston Red Sox are 10 games ABOVE .500.
Let that sink in.
Red Sox bullpen as currently constructed:
⚾️Future Hall of Fame closer with a 1.67 ERA that still has 102 in the back pocket
⚾️Strike-throwing robot that has a 2.15 ERA since the start of 2024
⚾️6’7 right-handed sinker baller who sits 101 and somehow leads MLB in strike percentage
⚾️ 6’5, 270 LB left-handed sinkerballer who sits 97 and ranks in the 95th percentile or higher in both average exit velocity and strikeout percentage
⚾️ Quality middle reliever on a string of 10 straight scoreless appearances with a season-long 36-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio
⚾️ Left-handed changeup artist that ranks in the 90th percentile or higher in both whiff rate and hard hitter percentage
⚾️ Dude who can’t pitch in the first inning but has a 0.50 ERA as a reliever
⚾️ Greg Weissert
Best Red Sox bullpen of my lifetime, that’s for damn sure

Has to be the craziest split in MLB

The Red Sox are 20-2 since June 25, matching the best 22-game span in franchise history (also 1988, 1995, and 2004).
They are also 23-5 since June 19. The only other seasons this century they went 23-5 or better over a 28-game span were 2004 and 2018.
