#red-sox — Public Fediverse posts

That's all for now, fans.

Thanks again for following tonight's #RedSox action with @RSNStats.

Not the pitching, not the defense. As it's been all season long, #RedSox offense is a worry as you head to the postseason. Waiting out a greater starter didn't work tonight. The Sox mustered 3 total hits against 4 #Rangers relievers.

And the approach is even less likely to work in the postseason.

#RedSox Interim Manager Tracy on bullpen use tonight: "Part of the reason we were able to be so aggressive was that so much of the bullpen was at 5, 6, or 7 days off. We were able to spread the load a little bit and not overextend anybody while also keeping options open."

#RedSox Interim Manager Chad Tracy: "A chance in the 5th with second and third, one out, and then another chance there in the 8th." Says, "Every time we gave ourselves a couple opportunities to maybe hit a single and tie the game up, we just couldn't do it tonight."

#RedSox Magic Number is actually 5, not 4 as originally reported.

Despite tonight's #BlueJays loss the standings flipped as #Rangers moved ahead of TOR with their win here.
