I get it that having a higher draft pick is a good thing, but I REALLY don't like it when the Red Sox lose. So tonight I'm hoping for Red Sox, Rangers, Tigers and Diamondbacks wins. Good karma for everyone. Go Sox!
Best Of All Worlds, Everybody Wins

Tale of the game-thread tape parallels the season. An historically lackluster 687 posts in Opening day: 3/26/20 . . . ummm 7/24/20 descending to a paltry 38 in September 24, 2020, Red Sox v. Orioles.
A lineup out there for Houck.
Verdugo RF
Devers 3B
X SS
JDM DH
Vaz C
JBJ CF
Dalbec 1B
Chavis LF
Arroyo 2B

But they need someone who can play third base. Anyone have a plan to force JDM to opt out so that the DH of the future can move off third?
If JD stays, and Dalbec sticks, they might just swap Dalbec and Devers. And tonight's the perfect night to experiment. But why stop there? All position players should take the fielding position normally to their right, with, oh - Chavis at catcher.
This is an excellent idea! Unless of course it's against the Unwritten Rules of Tanking.
Speaking of moving people about, it might have been an interesting experiment to move JDM down a few notches. He constantly wastes X's excellence.
Eck’s commentary alone is worth tuning into the waining games of an abysmal season. Houck and Dalbec are nice.
I’m not sure if Vaz is intentionally setting up in an odd place on some of Houck’s breaking pitch. He’s either painting some ridiculous sweepers, or the Braves are just hacking.

It's so weird, after this "season" to see the Sox looking like the kind of team we've grown used to.
if the Tigers win (up 4-3 in the 5th), this game doesn't really matter for draft order. But tomorrow is a must-lose.
Dropping to 5th would be annoying after being easily in the 2 slot for quite awhile. On the other hand, they can't fall further than 5th now, so I'm probably overstating the impact here and should enjoy the remaining innings we have.

Wasn't that swing and miss on the slider basically a mirror image of Sale striking out Machado to end '18?
