I think first home shutoutDid I hear that right? First shut out of the season?
https://fb.watch/mljXvzfuby/?mibextid=v7YzmGRoyals broadcast just showed the Nava home run from the first game after the bombing. Still gives me incredible chills. Probably always will.
Hopefully we figure out how to score tomorrow. After Sale it will be the dregs from the pen. And Sale himself might not do well - who knows?Sale Day tomorrow.
Third, they're now tied with Oakland for the fewest pitched this season.Did I hear that right? First shut out of the season?
Masa only has one hitless game in August and is hitting .300 for the month. He isn't on a tear, but he isn't struggling. Certainly not in the same sentence as Devers and Duran.Sox really lucked into 2 wins this series and kinda sorta the 3rd one too. Stuff like that happens through a full season, and there's several they lost because of shitty umpires and weird bounces but despite taking 3/4 from the Royals I didn't leave this series feeling good. The offense is just slow and sluggish right now. Some exceptions- Duvall is starting to look good and one of his hot streaks can carry a team. Verdugo looks like maybe that benching got his head back out of his ass. Casas is still cruising along.
Devers, Yoshida and Duran have struggled. Story still looks like he's catching up and Turner is out.
One might even go so far as to call him resurgent.Duvall is starting to look good and one of his hot streaks can carry a team.
Me, too. That video made me wonder what he is doing now, and wiki says:
Coaching career
I wonder how many former Red Sox are on the LA payroll one way or another.On February 8, 2023, Nava was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization to serve as the manager for their High-A affiliate, the Great Lakes Loons.[35]
Turner's absence *seems* to be having a dramatic impact. It's almost as though his approach is only contagious when he's in the lineup.Masa only has one hitless game in August and is hitting .300 for the month. He isn't on a tear, but he isn't struggling. Certainly not in the same sentence as Devers and Duran.
Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, key contributor to the Harlem Globetrotters in the late 1940s and in the NBA, mostly with the Knicks, in the 1950s. One of the great sports nicknames of all time.Sweet water!!
Nava managing in the minors is perfect. I swear in like 20 years he's going to get his big break managing some new expansion team in Montana, have a fairy tale inaugural season, win the WS and get his own Oscar-bait biopic starring AI Matt Damon.Me, too.
