2026 Red Sox/MLB Season Thread

Great game tonight.  Sox went into the bottom of the ninth down 2-0.  Rallied and won 3-2.  These guys are fun to watch and it helps they are winning more than losing...

Definitely could have been deflated after a dead night at the plate and a squandered bases loaded, nobody out and the heart of the lineup K fest in the 8th.  But the bottom of the lineup and pinch hitters came through. 

Crazy play to end the game.

I got to watch the game on TV (offered to take my wife out for a night on the town, but she said she was too tired and was fine with take out Thai food).  I cut the NESN cord a while back so a treat to get to watch a game.  Sandoval seemed to struggle all game but managed to get through 5.2 innings with the Sox still in it somehow.  Not sure if he is on the upswing or downswing.  Funny how the vibe around this team has changed so dramatically so quickly.  From expecting they would find a way to lose to not surprised they found a way to win.

I wonder if the Sox could do something like having Crochet open for Bello down the stretch and hopefully in the playoffs.  Based on Crochet only being stretched out for two or three innings. That will get you through the first time through the order.

Great game today (and one I actually remembered I could watch on TV, although I still listened to half on the radio while doing chores around the house). Bennett looked awful to start the game, but then really got it together to throw a strong 7 innings. And while going down 2 early was a death sentence early in the year, now it just feels like a challenge that you know the Sox will rise to

I was really questioning when Tracy pinch hit Gasper for a red hot Jahmai Jones, but it immediately paid off. Sort of the story of the second half of the season for Chad
