a hot week

It's a wash right now. Going 5-2 in a week will do nice things for the temperature. And the pitching staff at 2.9 RA/G is a stabilizing force.

Red Sox News

With the Red Sox facing a critical series against the Yankees, the pressure is on as they seek to improve their Wild Card positioning. Boston’s offense was a no-show in last night’s gut-wrenching 1-0 loss, stranding ten runners and failing to capitalize on five walks issued by the Yankees’ starter Cam Schlittler. It’s hard to ignore the looming potential returns of Trevor Story and Roman Anthony, who could provide much-needed sparks. Meanwhile, Willson Contreras continues to make his case as the best first baseman in the AL, providing stability amid the chaos. The Sox, now 73-60, must shake off the sting of last night and channel their frustration into a solid performance in the Bronx if they hope to keep their playoff dreams alive.

The Yankees starter walked five Red Sox batters on Friday night. The Red Sox scored zero runs. That’s the whole story, and it’s an ugly one. Cam Schlittler was not sharp. He walked five, put traffic on base constantly, and gave Boston every opportunity to cash in. They left ten men on. In a different […]
