"And the Red Sox are countering with Payton Tolle, the best pitching prospect the organization has produced in years, making his MLB debut. Skenes comes into tonight's game having compiled a league-high 6.2 bWAR and a league-low 2.07 ERA this season. Tolle, on the other hand, will be playing on his fourth level of professional baseball in 2025 alone, having skyrocketed up the system on the strength of a combined 3.04 ERA and 133 strikeouts over 91.2 innings pitched."
"The Red Sox have won seven of their last eight games. They have a five-and-a-half game cushion in the Wild Card race and are still in the hunt for the AL East crown. Craig Breslow is, quite evidently, feeling it, and tonight looks like a heat-check for the second-year CBO. Fenway Park is the center of the baseball world today. Let's just hope the weather gods are as kind to us as the baseball gods have been."
The world is mostly a hopeless cesspool right now. Paul Skenes, the best young pitcher of his generation, is in town tonight with a league-high 6.2 bWAR and a league-low 2.07 ERA this season. The Red Sox counter with Payton Tolle, the organization's top pitching prospect, making his MLB debut after climbing four professional levels in 2025 with a combined 3.04 ERA and 133 strikeouts over 91.2 innings. Boston has won seven of its last eight games and holds a 5.5-game Wild Card cushion while still chasing the AL East crown. Craig Breslow appears energized, and Fenway Park is set as the center of the baseball world with hopes for favorable weather. Fans are invited to be good to one another.
