I thought for sure that today was going to be a day game.... oh well....
If there's one pitcher I think that's on the "cusp" for being inked in to the '25 rotation it's Crawford. Bello has the contract and youth and promise. Houck has showed he definitely belongs there. Crawford, after a great start, has really tanked. Annoyingly enough though, I've followed enough of his post late May starts when he started to fray to see how many times he's gone 4 or 5 very dominant innings and then goes- BB, 1B, 2B, BB (1 run allowed, gets pulled from the game...) Reliever comes in and goes... HR. 5 ER charged to Crawford just like that erasing what had been a good game up to that point.

I'm probably mis-remembering all of this to be honest.

Have a gun canoe trip!

I don't know, a gun on a canoe doesn't sound very safe.

I'll be at this game, and sure would like to see a Red Sox victory!

The Red Sox stood on a precipice. Where most would tiptoe, Brayan Bello danced.

Alex reads our game threads. Everyone say Hi to Alex

Is that a spell checker malfunction -- the word you typed in was "gnu", as in Gnu in a Canoe?

Hi, Alex! I like your work!
I will be happy to see Sogard back on defense (hope I'm not jinxing him), and also I like his ABs, because a lot of the time he doesn't try to do too much, and succeeds in moving players over without making an out.

Gun Canoe was just me hitting "g" meaning "fun" and not catching it. But why not? Accidents are the mistress of creativity... .or something like that?

Gasper has put together good at bats and hit a couple of hard liners in the last game that just happened to be right at someone. I think he could break out tonight

This is the most important game of the year. If they win, they are going to the World Series and Alex Cora will become manager for life.

"Gasper in the two hole" sounds shady and kinky, like something one might do but not discuss.

I love it when the booth says "struggles against ____" and our dude promptly walks them.

Remember when the lead-off hitters used to try to stay out there for a while so that the other guys could see what the pitcher had that night?
That 1/2 inning was like WHOOOSH!
