This is the too little too late part of the season for the Boston Red Sox. As fun as it was for fans to see them sweep the Texas Rangers last weekend and have their longest win streak since the end of June, their chances of making the playoffs are minuscule at this point, and that’s putting it rather lightly. To wit, prior to games on Wednesday, FanGraphs gave them a 0.3 percent chance of making the playoffs. Yikes.
But while the overall season is circling the drain, there is still some fun to be had, even some that doesn’t revolve around finally getting to see Triston Casas take on MLB pitching.
