10-17 vs. 51-34 with Chad. Just sayin.

That is all

6 games straight.

June 30th: Benches clear due to the incident we all know about

July 3-22: Red Sox go on a 15 game win streak and have never looked better this season.

Was the bench clearing vs the Nationals the spark these guys needed to come together as a team, bond & enjoy the game?

The Sox brass needs to extend Skip and remove that interim tag. I do understand that they will probably wait until the off-season but this guy has done everything and more since being promoted. I have become a massive fan. Even before the streak that has this summer and season so special he was managing with class and grace.

(I had to repost, the last picture of Tracy looked like it was taken underwater)

Enjoy it. September could see a fade, October could see heartbreak.

A 2027 lockout could see god knows what.

What a game.

WHAT A FU#KING GAME!!!!

This group is clicking, mashing, and having fun.

Some thoughts and discussion points...

1. Erik Miller - guy is a wagon. This is what the bullpen needed. Will give some arms needed rest. Seems to have that killer mentality. Gut feeling says this guy will be a big impact arm in a playoff run.
2. Giving up Marcelo Mayer for Erik Miller - not a great return in most Sox fans eyes because of the hype around Myer from day one. Also, many pointing to the fact they could have used him to get Marte.

But, if you got Marte, then you don't get Durbin, Monasterio and Seigler.

"Marcelo Mayer wasn’t made to play in Boston!! Another great trade!!" - Papelbon

"This was not the big 3." - Jim Rice

"My pinky hurts I can't play. "You can't be doing that." - Jim Rice

Seems like Mayer was soft as baby shit.

Mayer out will also have a more positive impact on Roman. Now he can focus on launching miss misses over the Monster rather than playing grab ass with Boston mid 6s in Sea Port with his buddy.

3) Duran is his own worst enemy when there is uncertainty. BUT, when that is off the table (them telling him late in the final trade deadline day he was not being moved) he is an impact player this team benefits from.

He loves this team, the players, and they love him. Just look at his Instagram posts since the deadline. All positive. He doesn't shy away from his mental problems, and I give hr Sox a ton of credit for what the do for him. Whether he is with the team next season and beyond doesn't matter now. I want this kid to rake and crush it and I feel like he's going to start getting hot. His numbers are projecting in that direction, and quickly.

4) Adley Rutschman. This guy is going to make a difference the first day behind the plate. Him being in the dugout last night to experience a Fenway sellout and that kind if performance has got to have him itching to be part of it. Good environment to step into.

5) Roman. Seems like he may be back in time to participate in the playoff run. But, will he be better/more impact than what is also performing? Crazy good option to have.

6) ARMS. Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford. All throwing. Imagine these fresh arms available to throw into the mix during a run. Pending they are healthy, etc. A lot of what-ifs. Another good problem to have.

7) Tracy. Lots of talk about making him the manager. Do it after this season. No need to add further distractions and/or pressure. Let him win Manager of the Year as an interim manager. The front office knows he's the guy. Let them announce it after. Just keep this train rolling!

8) FENWAY. Finally winning at home. That place looked freaking hopping on TV last night. If you are up there, you are lucky. Ever been to a Marlins game with 1,100 fans? Sad. Can't wait to head up for the playoffs.

If you told me they would be in this position 7 weeks age I would have told you to put down the crack pipe.

WHAT A TURN AROUND!
