WOW! Pivetta just threw the first complete game for the Red Sox in almost 3 years! And against the same team that launched off Eovaldi last night in the Astros. Damn, that was huge for the Sox with a worn out bullpen. A two hitter and the only run he allowed was Altuve's lead off HR.

Shit, I missed my 50 game update...but I will do it here for you all in two bullets.
-Sox back to .500. Nice recovery, they dug a pretty big hole for themselves but getting back to .500 is big. Only challenge is they are behind a bunch of other teams in their own division, but plenty of time to go -What can I say about the Yanks? Amazing start. For this team and while completely obvious, it will be all about the injuries. If they are able to stay relatively healthy, they are in great shape.
See you at game 75

See you at game 75 Really way too early for this, but right now 4 of 5 ALEast teams are in playoff slots. That would be crazy if that tracks the balance of the way, but I have to think head to head games will chop that up and allow other division teams into the WC slot mix.

Wow, an area I thought the Sox would be weak in has definitely lifted this club, starting pitching. The Sox now have 3 complete games thrown by three different pitchers (Pivetta, Eovaldi and now Wacha) and all three look very strong. Even Rich Hill is looking strong and Whitlock too. Now, if we could just figure out the pen...

We should also have a conversation on who we like as color analysts on NESN this season.
Love Eckersley but it is well known he doesn't want to travel. Soo... Have enjoyed both Youkilis and Millar. I think both would be great full time (or split the games). The Tony Maz experiment can end right now.

I like Youk and Millar.
Get rid of Tony.
Eck is ok. Great knowledge and insight but he annoys me too.

Well, the Sox are kind of playing so-so currently (starting to seem like half the roster is from Worchester. Oh wait, that's because it is!!) but what can you say about the ALEast. With Baltimore's seemingly improbable surge recently, all 5 clubs are at .500 or better. Unreal, its as if there is the ALEast (and Houston) and then everyone else.

Lost 7 out of last 10, and are the only AL East team right now that can't even seem to win 2 in a row. Or actually win a series Kudos to the O's w/ 10 in a row

I'll give you lack of series wins recently. But with a pitching staff mostly comprised of Worchester arms, treading water is about all we can hope for in this stretch of all ALEast poweer rival games.

Right... As J. Henry said "It's all about the 2nd half of the season. Everybody is coming back healthy."
Winning 2 straight - come on.... You gotta be kidding me. That's probably the best we can hope for.

That's probably the best we can hope for. Very true, if Cora keeps managing the way he did last night. Zero issue with Crawford back out to start the 7th, but he's already given you 6 shutout innings, been through the lineup a couple of times and was at AAA only a couple starts prior. You don't have an arm already up and just about ready in the pen? It should have been, give up that lead off double, go to the pen then. Instead, they have to wait for Schreiber to warm up, give up a run with thing runs both in scoring position and no one out. Not winning baseball managing right there IMHO. Sure, Schreiber has been a rock, but how many times do you go to that well in zero wiggle room situations? So, question is how does Sox office view it? Will Cora be joining Montoyo soon?

So, with Sale lost again and the ship listing at best, does management give Blood the green light to sell, sell, sell and stock up the farm?

They suck. We all know it. Write the 2022 season off. Make a few trades, and then we can start all over again. Sucking that is.
Big question is... Does Cora stay or go at the end this season ??
