The Red Sox are four games out of a playoff spot in early September. The organization has the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball. Dave O’Brien just had one of the best calls of his entire life. And Boston might just win the whole damn thing.
Okay, maybe not — but holy cow this is the best I’ve felt watching a Red Sox baseball game since approximately July 14. I’m not going to say I told you so, but the optimism that I had while writing up today’s lineup release from the KU library on Nick Pivetta Day really had some divination within it.
