Whether or not you take into account it formally “summer season” but or not, tonight marks the beginning of a six-game summer season homestand, which is often one thing that we must be enthusiastic about as Purple Sox followers. The Texas Rangers (34-34) and the Toronto Blue Jays (33-36) come to city, and personally, I’m most excited in regards to the excellent pitching matchups:
You’ve obtained future Corridor of Famers in Scherzer and deGrom (I’ll struggle you should you disagree on deGrom, respectfully), a surefire ace in Stop who has twice completed within the High-5 in Cy Younger voting, 2018 Purple Sox playoff legend Eovaldi, the #2 total choose in 2021 in Leiter, and the rookie Yesavage, who was almost the World Sequence MVP a 12 months in the past if he had been capable of shut out Sport Seven.
Within the different dugout, the Purple Sox workers ought to be capable of go toe-to-toe with all of those guys. Whether or not that ends in any wins is a unique story. As everyone knows, the crew is a deplorable 10-21 at dwelling this season, having two fewer wins than some other crew in baseball.
However right this moment, I select to search for some positives. What are you most enthusiastic about? The pitching matchups, the Caleb Durbin energy surge, Summer time Friday at Fenway, the players-only announcer sales space on NESN tonight and tomorrow, the Sox inexplicably being on NBC Sunday Evening Baseball, taking your tarp off within the bleachers and having drinks that might be scalding sizzling inside minutes, watching contradictory press conferences within the pre- and postgame, throwing baggage of urine into the Sox govt containers? Go any route you need with this!
Be good to one another within the feedback, and have an important weekend.
