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?
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.

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.
Me, too. That video made me wonder what he is doing now, and wiki says:
I wonder how many former Red Sox are on the LA payroll one way or another.
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.
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.
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.
