  1. Happy we won this game (still lost the series tho sadly), but we have zero excuse for the first two games. My Sox need to improve a lot if they want to get far in the playoffs.

    P.S.-The top 8th was scary af.

  2. Every Yoshida at-bat feels like an at-bat they should be giving to someone else. He can't field, has no power . . . might as well slot in a September call-up, instead.
