Interesting if JDM plays. He was pulled Thurs for back spasms. Cora said post game he would probably have a difficult flight back to Boston.

As DAD would say, "SON, to much $$$$$$$ in the back pocket always come$ back to HURT the BACK" !!!! iono iono iono rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl
No JD but Moreland back in the lineup.
Thanks to the Heavens. NO CHAVIS. 3 less Ks for Jays pitching.

The KID needs a break …… MUCH POTENTIAL, he is a KEEPER !!! iono iono iono rofl rofl rofl
3-0 TB in the 4th. All the rbi are on breaking balls that didn't break. They just rolled up there.
Sox once again looking flat at the plate.
We've put up 31 runs last four games. Of course CC and some KC pitchers.
OK George, I know what you’re thinking! Bases loaded, none out!
Now bases still loaded and 2 outs. C'mon, Raffy. Do something.

What? I didn't say the "dreaded bases loaded situation has reared it's ugly head". Never crossed my mind. LOL.
Oops. Sox can't score, but they can give up runs. Don't see them coming back in this one.
At least they've avoided a shutout.
Not much to say accept on to tomorrow and hope it goes much better. Games at 1pm and 6pm.
Is that a planned double-header or is it a make up game?

Rays planning Yarborough who was rocked in his last game. We're going with Josh Smith apparently. Then Price against 'undecided' who always gives us trouble. iono

Sox are due to do a deal, of the Eovaldi/ Fister type. I'm just guessing it"s a pitcher who can both start and do long relief. Our starting pitching is still on the fragile side. These AAA callups like Smith and Weber are nothing more than bandages, leaky bandages. Who do we trade?
The rule this year as I understand, are deals must be done before July, no August stuff .
I am convinced that no deal will be done unless the Sox can stay under the LUX Tax threshold. I believe they have decided to take their chances on the wild card lottery with the team they have.

Which as a fan really annoys me. Are they worried that at the end of the day they'll all only be multimillionaires? John Henry will only have a few million shy of his current billions? Sports and entertainment fans pay ridiculous money to shower these people with more money than they or their heirs can spend in 1000 years, but they want to avoid the luxury tax. Oh boo hoo John Henry, maybe cut out a trip to Liverpool on your private jet to pay for it.
It is clear they're waiting on Eovaldi and Johnson for that matter to shore up the bullpen. The problem is they still don't have anyone that doesn't have to wear brown pants to pitch in the 9th inning and they'd also still be an injury/Chris Sale "rest period" away from being short staffed again.
