Red Sox should win the WS rather easily this fall

Not such good news on Judge-was supposed to be dry-swinging by now, but still feeling pain in the wrist.

No one seems to know what the f*ck is going on with Sanchez.

Need those guys back yesterday.

Broken wrists are REALLY bad for hitters. It's possible he may not come back this season.

I like Judge. And he's good for the game and I don't want him to miss the rest of the season but it is a possibility. Probably not but 3 weeks seemed excessively optimistic to me.

I'm a little concerned about his velocity.....Seems to be down the last few starts.....Was hitting 99 effortlessly all season and now has been hovering around 96....Pushing 100 and mid 90's is a big difference....His slider had better movement last night, which is huge......

Fool's gold. It was the White Sox. Even Queen Felix can beat the White Sox.

Seattle is fading fast.

Seems like we're basically locked in for a Yankees/A's one game playoffs.

The Mariners were always fool's gold. Teams playing at a 100 win pace with a negative run differential are not going to maintain that pace. Their actual play is of a sub-.500 team.

Considering he was battered by the likes of the Rays and Royals over the last month, I'm gonna go ahead and take this as a positive sign.

Yup. Just gotta make sure that game takes place in the 10451 zip code.

Yea sad but true. The only possible way the Yanks can still win the division is if they cut the Sox lead in half by labor day weekend but seems unlikely because the Sox schedule is pretty soft up until then as well. Not as easy as the Yankees but bad enough.

Only challenging series I see are a 2 game set in Philly, 3 game set in Tampa, and a 4 game home series vs Cleveland.
