All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it.

Not liking this.
If Red Sox keep sucking it up, Eovaldi would be an interesting trade target. Not sure who he would replace, but he gets outs. Salary may keep the prospect cost down a little.
Would be nice to see the Jake of late finally pitch well in Fenway. This is a good litmus test for him.
Listening to 790. Ignoring the BS football and basketball talk. Waiting on the lousy bump music before Astros talk.
Whitlock has had success in his weird role this year. I guess we see a at least 4 innings from their bullpen. Hard to say how this will go. Can jake be awesome a 4th start in a row? The pena thing sucks
Steve Sparks was on 790 this morning and said that with rain possible today in Boston that they would probably sit Peña one more day and he should play tomorrow. They wouldn’t want to risk him running on a slick surface.
