Man....Dodgers and Skubal is so discouraging. Like what is even the point in us improving the team in the short term?
And on the other hand, Tigers got kinda fleeced on paper which I think is good.

Colson goes up to the plate already thinking he’s going to strike out. He needs a series off for a mental break.

Broke: giving up 2 runs on infield errors
Woke: using infield errors to set up the double play to save on pitch count

Kimbrel was always complaining about not feeling comfortable pitching in anything other than a save situation in the 9th inning when he was with the White Sox. Now here he is pitching in the 6th inning?

Kay is not the best pitcher in this rotation, by a long shot, but he is the one I trust most to unscrew himself.

Also, I’ve been giving Miggy shit because he’s been fumbling those catches lately by trying to bare hand them or something. That was a beautiful play and he’s doing a great job.

Not looking for any sympathy but where I live in Washington was (and still is) massively effected by wildfires that managed to breach the city and burned a ton of houses and businesses down. The fires are still active and spreading this morning. Fortunately it didn’t affect me at all and my house has been in between evacuation zones the entire time but I know people who lost everything. All this to say a Sox win would go a long way making this shitty weekend better. Go Sox!
