The Official 2025 Boston Red Sox Thread

Which has nothing to do with Devers. Sox are very young, lots of talent but it hasn’t all matured yet. Couldn’t handle the injuries as well as an older, deeper team. It’s fine, I can’t complain because the future is so bright. Both teams have more talent than Toronto and yet they played better ball. Baseball is weird sometimes.

I was talking about you saying the Red Sox would have won the series with a healthy Anthony.

They would have. He had become their best position player. Probably would have without Duran’s error on Wednesday. As for Cole, the Sox wreck him, ERA vs Boston has been 4.9 of higher (much higher) four years in a row. But yes, the Yanks were better equipped to handle injuries. Go Jays!

One thing I don’t understand, why is Toronto not playing the #6 seed? Why do they set the bracket ahead of time instead of just having the high seed play the lowest remaining seed?
