Bosox Board

Sox continue to befuddle the doctors.  Witlock was pulled early with left oblique tightness, a yearly event it seems.  Then Devers is grimacing with a knee issue, the guy is falling apart.  He will get some imaging.  Those are some key pieces missing late in this game and the next.

Basement dwellers, again.

So Hamilton takes the place of O'Neill, after they shift the others.  O'Neill was cleared for the concussion, but Cora is going to sit him until Thurs. game.

Sox lead the league in fewest Earned runs allowed and most unearned runs allowed.  You can't make this crap up.

A team with no depth with its only valuable players dropping like flies.

The 2024 Sox are cursed.  They get Raffy back in the lineup today.  Then he runs into O'Neill chasing a fly ball.  O'Neill is now on the concussion protocol.

I'm thinking the Ninety-Nine isn't worried about going bankrupt this season.

It looks like once again we got a decent start (But can any of these guys get out of the 6th inning?) and then the bullpen came in.  Sox have 2 hits. 

I haven't caught a lot of full games this year between timing and doing other stuff and I think I'm glad.

LOL at Raffy II!

That was rough to watch in the 9th which is about all I saw.  Jansen said he can't get a feel for the ball as they're not rubbed well and are slippery.  I actually heard a great interview with the guy that gets the mud from the Delaware River in a secret spot and provides to MLB and other leagues.
