Red Sox have a 4 game “lead” in the race for last, looks like it is theirs at this point. Should be an interesting off season. #mailingitin
RIP Brooks Robinson, perhaps the best 3B of all time with 16 consecutive gloves.

RIP Brooks, legend status. Lots of changes coming to NYY and BOS for next year. I hope the Yanks go young, I like what we have done the last 15-20 games...Need a new GM, 2 lefty bats, and another reliable starter and of course an entirely new medical/training staff....cant have 10 pitchers on IL/miss the season plus half dozen position players out for big chunks of the season..time to get younger, more lefty and way stronger/healthier....but its baseball, so still enjoying it...watching playoffs w out Yanks sucks but far more relaxing.

When I was a kid (think 1960's) Brooks Robinson and Mark Belanger were the best left side combo in MLB. Add Jim Plamer on the mound, Frank Robinson in Right Field, and Boog Powell at 1st base, and you know why we were always chasing the O's in the 70's.
There may have been other 3rd basemen w/ more power (Brett, Nettles) BUT no one had a better glove than Brooks Robinson. 16 Gold Gloves will probably never be matched again.
RIP Brooks

Greg Maddux-18 Gold Gloves OK. But he wasn’t playing 150 games/year

Hope the Rays go deep, will be in Tampa for 3 weeks starting 10/08. I'd go to a game if they do.

Of course you have to sit through a game in that hellhole of a “ballpark” but hey it’s still playoff baseball. 🤣

Can anyone tell me why we always seem to loose the good ones way too early? 🫤.

And just like that, the 2023 campaign is over for the Sox. A disappointing season for sure.
On to the playoffs, will be rooting for Philly. A friend of mine’s kid is their video guy and it was a blast watching their playoff run through his parents eyes last year (they were on the field after the LCS and went to every WS game), and to top it off the players voted him a share of the playoff bonus money last year which was some serious cash. Hopefully they win it all this year and he can get a share of the WS champ bonus which would be life changing money for him.

I told you they were a last place team. What I didn't tell is that the Yankees would be just above them. Lets go Os!!! Anyone but the Astros, please.

Pretty cool that the Mariner's George Kirby threw a knuckleball to honor Wakefield yesterday. Struck out Corey Seager with the pitch too.
