The Official 2025 Boston Red Sox Thread

[HCCForever]

The constant stranding of RISP, especially with bases loaded and no or 1 out, is maddending. That said, two big wins for the Sox. They need it because Cleveland is playing incredible baseball. 10 wins in a row now. They are only one game behind Detroit and have tied Houston in the Wild Card. Boston is up 1 game on both of them. Yanks are now within 2 of the Jays and Houston is within 2 of Seattle. MLB has to be thrilled with this penant race. Nobody in the AL has clinched anything. 4 spots are taken in the NL including all the division winners.

Huge start from Harrison last night. He's looking like a really nice young pitcher. Need Connor Early to be good today, but Tampa's starter is meh, so hopefully the offense can get untracked. He's RH so Abreu should be back today. Keep winning.

Nice to see Yoshida with hit in 9th along with dependable Story. Need good outing from Early since Chapman may not be available.

I am not one of the "fire Cora" people. I am now all in on firing the third base coach. He seems to get it wrong almost every time. This team is giving away far too many outs on the basepaths. That absolutely should have been a win yesterday.

What a great W last night. Hoping to emulate tonight. Go Sox!

Need tonight just as much as they needed it last night!

I was listening on the radio on the way back from soccer practice when the Sox nearly blew scoring their first run. Yoshida doubles with no one out. Strike out, ground out to short. How is a professional Major League hitter not able to hit the ball to the right side? Luckily Lowe (who is hardly hitting his weight) was able to bail Romy and Rafaela out.

Lowe credited Bregman was some adjustments to his swing. Looked better at the plate. Yoshida is quietly hitting 10 for his last 24. No power, but he's hitting well. Abreu in RF and Rafaella in center is elite defensively. Huge clutch double from Narv last night. Bullpen was stellar.

Another big game tonight, with the War Pig on the mound. Bats have to step up and for the love of God, can they please stop making outs on the basepaths?

My Bosox do it again 7-1!

How about that Crochet? I really like having a lefty ace. Tolle was less than impressive in the 9th last night, but he is young, super inexperienced, and projected to be a starter next season. He really can't be in a better position than learning from a similar type pitcher Crochet who also throws from the same side.

The 'Sox are now over their preseason win projection with 4 games to go, their magic number is 1, and they can clinch before 1st pitch tonight in Toronto if Houston loses out West this afternoon. After a three year drought, just making the playoffs is a success for Boston, particularly if Roman Anthony cannot make it back.

Recovery from an oblique is 4-6 weeks. He has just started week 4 (Sept. 3) and Breslow said he is not close to baseball activities.

That said, the Wild Card round is best of 3 and the Red Sox have the horses on the mound to get to the ALDS.
