The Red Sox get hot right before the break

Our Fake Sox are heating up right at the end of the first half, entering this final series before the All-Star break against the Orioles having won four in a row including a three-game sweep against the Blue Jays. They had Thursday off, so they came into this series opener at Fenway fully rested with Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound...
One of the greatest pitchers of all-time is the Red Sox third starter in this All-Time Red Sox rotation.

The question everyone hated.
For this week’s staff roundtable we decided to go back to the rivalry well, but in a different direction. Today, I wanted us to think about the players we liked from the Yankees. In fact, that was the question in full. Simply, who was or is your favorite Yankee player of all time? The only stipulation I put on it was that you couldn’t pick a former Red Sox, which was mostly for me so I couldn’t pick Jacoby Ellsbury.

Jason Varitek put on the gear Thursday and got behind the plate to call balls and strikes. While we can’t vouch for his strike zone, we can definitely draw attention to his ridiculous way of calling a third strike.

I’m not sure it’s particularly close.
I’m having an extremely difficult time figuring out how in the world we’re supposed to analyze and preview the upcoming season, which by the way is somehow just about two weeks away. There’s the obvious issue of COVID-19 and players testing positive left and right for the virus. Obviously there are tangible effects on the on-field product when players have to miss time, but I really can’t...

Happy Thursday everyone. Our Fake Sox are off today. That’s all I got. Enjoy the day, be nice to each other.

Or at least start hitting balls down the middle of the plate?
If you follow the minor leagues at all it is very weird to think that Andrew Benintendi was once the number one prospect in baseball. Obviously being the number one ranked anything is subjective to year-over-year fluctuations in the overall talent pool, but I cannot imagine rating out a surging Beni over at least 7-8 of the top prospects in the game today. Perhaps for that reason...

A great day for the Red Sox.
The following simulation and images are courtesy of Out of the Park Baseball.
Our Fake Sox have had a hell of a start to their series against the Blue Jays, not only taking the first two games but doing so in dominating fashion. They won those two games by a combined score of 30-8 including a 17-3 blowout just this afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader. Tonight they were looking to make it a sweep, not only of the...
The Red Sox already have confirmed four positive cases of the coronavirus: Eduardo Rodriguez, Josh Taylor, Bobby Dalbec and Darwinzon Hernandez.
The Boston Red Sox have resumed working out at Fenway Park in preparation for the 2020 season, but they do have concerns for one of their top players.

It was a totally one-sided affair to start the doubleheader.
The following simulation and images are courtesy of Out of the Park Baseball 21.
Our Fake Sox hit a bit of a snag in their season last week and late in the previous one, giving back some of that ground they had been starting to gain in the division. They entered this week trailing the Yankees by a full six games, but had a real chance to mount a comeback in the division this...
