After the offense got (almost) completely stymied by Tarik Skubal yesterday, the Boston Red Sox look to right the ship by taking the rubber game and series against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday afternoon. Cooper Criswell gets the call to the bump for the Sox up against Beau Brieske, which may or may not mean a bullpen game for Detroit since he’s only made seven starts in 34 appearances this season so far. A lot of lineup shuffling for Alex Cora compared to yesterday, let’s see if they can step up on this holiday weekend Sunday.

This is it, the start of the final month of regular season baseball. Can the Red Sox re-kickstart their push for a playoff spot or would the Tigers scratch out a little more hope?

After a more convincing win last night over the Southsiders (thank you Don for some absolutely nostalgic commentary), the (Red) Sox look to keep momentum up and take the full gamut against Chicago. Chris Flexen is on the bump for the White Sox, while Richard Fitts seems likely to hit the hill for the Red Sox

Even with the postseason somehow in play, does Breslow give those healthy in the Fab Four a chance to shine?

So the misnomer I’m going to put on this game commentary is for the people who will say “Where have THESE Red Sox been all summer?” The real question honestly feels like it should be “What would this season have looked like with a fully healthy Triston Casas?” Inarguably his game of the season, and how.

How are we feeling about the upcoming Fall Classic?

With the offseason gearing up, the OTM staff makes its predictions for the next four months of player movement.

Talking with The Boston Globe recently, Red Sox President and CEO Sam Kennedy said things that fans have been absolutely longing to hear: That they’re in the hunt for a legitimate superstar in Juan Soto and taking the meetings not just seriously, but getting positive feedback after the fact. He definitively stated that they’ll be willing to spend over the Competitive Balance Tax to win, and that they want at least 90-95 wins a season. They want AL East Titles, they want the comfort of not worrying about a Wild Card position. They want to win a World Series hopefully in the next four years.

This week, an auction house put a number of items of Red Sox memorabilia owned by the late Larry Lucchino up for bid. Some of them are expensive and amazing (as in, this actual World Series trophy, which went for $61,000). Some of them are... something else.
