Did I ever tell you about the time I went horseback riding with Beau Briskie, but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Briskie throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Briskie decides to enter me in the Breeders’ Cup, right, under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human.’
Who to pinch hit for Reese McGuire? Andrew Vaughn, your team’s best hitter? Seby Zavala, your team’s best hitting catcher? Nah, let’s go with Leury.I think Tony is just making decisions to troll us.
Do you trust Hahn not to make a desperate move at trade deadline and trade Montgomery? I don’t think he is that dumb but I really fear they do something stupid to try to salvage this lifeless team.
Worst case scenario is to win the series against the Tigers with no sweep. We need to get over 500 this week
Josh Donaldson with a gran slam against the Redsox. That’s gonna sting.
Who’s this Beau Briskie? Never heard of him.

You are probably a fan of Ionesco
Right down the middle, and he swung. Ball 3.
Katz was disgusted which is unusual.
This strike zone is ridiculous. They should just set up a foot outside and throw it there all night.
Getting a hit this inning would be a good idea. Better if it is of the 4 bases category
Lol nice bunt. Nothing but excitement with this franchise.
Party like it is 1999
Sac bunt, hope for more errors offense. The Sox coach that.
This is feeling like the Orioles series redux right now.
Actually this feels worse than the Orioles series.
Jimmy high leverage Lambert
Sox have made outs on balls in play with xBAs of:
.730 (Eloy, 107mph, in the 2nd)
.930 (TA, 104mph, 3rd)
.440 (Eloy, 86mph, 5th)
.610 (TA, 94mph, 6th)
.920 (Pollock, 99mph, 6th)
Hitting it right at guys today to an impressive degree
Today? This has been a constant all year
Should probably bunt José over, just in case
Abreu tootblan. We probably need 2 homers to win this game. We cannot have runners on the bases. Stupid bunting and tootblans
Oh come on. What was that Jose?
Nothing compares 2U
Oh hell yeah LHP reliever warming for Detroit. I smell a second hit (and subsequently another TOOTBLAN).
Tough first L for Cease vs Detroit on the horizon here
Is security not letting fans show a “Fire Tony” sign in view of the center field camera?
Ah well nevertheless
I am glad we saved our big relievers for tomorrow as that run Banks gave luckily didn’t come back to bite us.

He was probably hoping for a single down two runs in the ninth.
Is Andrew Vaughn hurt and unavailable? I thought it was odd that they burn their best defensive OF Engel to PH for DH Sheets in the 8th.
And love the weak grounder from Leury on 2-0. I guess at least he swing at a strike.
Vaughn is sick but he must be very sick to not make an appearance at all. Another one of my many complaints is how the Sox have used the IL this year
Good news on a night when the game provided none:
In the Athletic, Keith Law listed Colson Montgomery as one of his notable omissions from the Futures Game rosters.
Law’s Article (behind paywall)
Do you trust Hahn not to make a desperate move at trade deadline and trade Montgomery? I don’t think he is that dumb but I really fear they do something stupid to try to salvage this lifeless team.
I don’t trust anyone in this organization to properly identify talent to acquire or talent to give away, which is an unfortunate spot to be in.
