I read that the Sox are actually considering trading for a pitcher to start the last game of the season, instead of starting Lester on 3 days rest. Apparently they have no other options.

LOL. This is great. They are screwed. Almost no way they can win the WC now. Even if they go to a 1-game playoff with Tampa, they'll have to find yet another pitcher. I don't think it's in the cards for Boston this year. Tonight could very well be the nail in the coffin for them.

      As someone else pointed out, he has always been a high strikeout guy and still found success, and plenty of hitters are very productive despite high strikeout numbers. I would also expect that to improve with experience, but even if this year is fully representative of the player he will be for us, that's still a very solid player. The 2024 AL rookie class is pretty weak though, I won't argue that.

      Anything at the plate is a bonus. His defense alone warrants playing him right now.

      If we can get hot from here on out, right through the playoffs, wouldn't that be a blessing and the unexpected.

      I would expect it’s about easing him in (first game back in field).  They are going to be cautious with him coming back from a concussion.

      3 consecutive great starting pitcher games. Playoff performance level. The batshit a bit to a win, hopefully heating up for the next impressive run!

      Hyde just said hopes Cano is back tomorrow. Soreness. Maybe that explains the 2 pitch outing. ….

      Norby was hot for awhile but he's back to struggling the past couple weeks.  I think Cowser is who he is to an extent -- a very talented hitter who has always had high strikeout totals.  The league adjusted to his weaknesses and he's trying to adjust back, but it will probably take some time. Holliday just seems like he's not all there yet.  I think the expectations and hype machine messed with his head a bit, and now he's got to work his way back to finding his rhythm and his confidence.  He's only 20. Mayo hasn't had enough at bats. O'Hearn is simply not an every day player.  He's good when used as a role player. Adley is really the only one I'm concerned about at this point.  Some say they think he's playing hurt, but I'm not really buying it.  If he's playing hurt then why is he DHing at all when his bat is lifeless?  If he's hurt then send him down before he has to get sent down for forgetting how to hit.
