Brewer fan here wanting to thank the Sox for gifting us a game we had no business winning.  we're going to appreciate this in late September

Get ready for another gift or two.
on behalf of the Brewers, I accept your generous offer!!   ;D

I think today is the Sox' day.  Brewer offense is anemic but they've been getting by so far with smoke and mirrors so far.  Crochet will likely shut down the Brewers (team is racking up double digit strikeout games a lot) and Miz is only good for 4-5 innings unfortunately.  The Brewer bullpen is still working out the kinks evidently.

Prediction Sox 5 - Brewers 2 today.

Tomorrow's a different story.  Brewers will be able to score against Gray and Patrick should be able to keep Boston fairly quiet at the plate.

This is crazy... According to Baseball Reference, the Red Sox still have the second highest chance of making the playoffs (64.1%) among AL East teams despite the 2-8 start of the season.  The Skankees are number 1 (88.9%), for now.

It is convenient that neither Toronto nor Baltimore has been off to a blazing start.

The AL in general is just putrid. The Sox are still technically just 3 games back of a wild card spot and more than half that league is 5-5 or worse lol. Only the Yankees and Guardians have looked great. Astros did too but they've lost 2 in a row and are now 6-5, closer to the middle class.

3-2 win with Crochet pitching. Would be nice to start scoring some more runs..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
