We’re playing the Sox at home. 

Oops!   Brain freeze.

 But it turns out I was right!    We are the next team to use the visiting clubhouse in Fenway Park.   The Red Sox open next season with a 9 game West Coast trip and their home opener is April 9 vs the Orioles.

So yeah, that's what I meant all along!   😀

They just have a little longer to clean the place up before the Orioles get there.

I don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around how impressive it really is that the Os are four games up on the Rays after the way the Rays started the season, and how well they’ve been playing recen

My wish is for Tampa Bay and Texas to have a wonderful, competitive 3 game series that results in a Texas win in game 3, a 21 inning 24-23 thriller.

No wonder you are so angry.  If they win 105 and we win 104 it is time to tip your hat to Tampa.

Wow, someone alluded to the Rays celebrating and I had no idea what they were talking about.   But they really did celebrate clinching a playoff spot (which actually happened the day they lost the last game in Baltimore several weeks ago) with a champagne celebration last night.

Odd.   They did it because they have an off day tomorrow.

So while we were winning #99 and putting them on the brink of elimination, they celebrated.

I haven't visited any professional locker rooms, but that one seems like they're going to need remediation after that. Low, drop ceilings, foam tiles and fluorescent lights... I guess you don't want the visitors to be too comfortable but geez. Maybe the Rays are helping with an insurance claim the Sox were waiting to submit.

No scoreboard to watch tonight with the Rays idle. Really hoping we just wrap this up and have the entire weekend series for a long celebration at the Yard. 
 

I do think the Rays celebration was basically them acknowledging that the division race is over. If they felt they had a realistic chanceto win I don’t think that happens.

I'm still curious as to why they didn't celebrate with their fans when they had the chance, they already had the top seed wrapped up in the Wild Card round. Seems weird to me to celebrate the same thing in Boston.

I believe it was purely for the fact that today is an off day and they waited to celebrate for that reason.

I am glad we have the opportunity to clinch tonight on our own terms and don't have to worry about scoreboard watching w/ TB being off. I originally said we'd clinch tomorrow night, but I think tonight would be even better especially w/ TB being off. All the attention will be on us.

With AL5 and AL6 looking mostly like they belong to TOR and HOU after Seattle getting handled last night, Tampa's performances have some influence which of those two teams is coming to the Trop on Tuesday.

If Seattle is totally eliminated by the last 2 days, the game play could also then go to triangulating for the 6 seed and the MIN-TEX path instead of the TB-BAL path for the 5 seed.

Astros pitching threw an 0-fer on Julio the entire series, punctuated by Hector Neris behaving badly after a mid-game punch out when the game was still kind of close.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
