From MLB coverage of the game, about the Devers home run

"His three-run shot snapped a 3-0 tie."

Nothing like having your starting pitcher put on the COVID-19 list right before the game he was going to start and giving a pitcher a chance to make his MLB debut in the middle of post-season chase.

But hey, he only gave up 4 runs.

Oh, good. His reliever has MLB experience: 28 games, 28.2 innings, and an ERA of 6.28

Cashman has done a fine job with developing young pitchers this year but Rizzo replacing Voight is crazy. Luke is batting over .400 last few weeks while Rizzo will never see the mendoza line again.

What are you talking about?!

Rizzo's at .248 on the season and .300 avg for the last week. .964 OPS

Voit was at .143 avg for the last week and OPS of .400. OTOH, Voit's average for the year is a bit higher at .256.

Maybe you meant the other way around?

Thought the Sox were going to steal this one, at 6-5.

Not to be.

Another stellar game on the mound and defensively by the Sox.

TB better watch out!

Watching the Sox play defense this year, it has become abundantly clear, and the stats bear me out, that unfortunately the only thing they are good at catching is covid.

Today echoes your sentiment.

Needed him in multiple positions today.

Including pitcher and manager.

Ran out of competent pitchers and Ottavino got yanked too quickly.

That was one of the weirdest, ugliest, least fulfilling games, I think I ever watched.
