Drew Rasmussen is special. He won’t see 9th regardless. Imagine he will be batter to batter in the 8th. Maybe Rays warm Baker and plan on he and Rasmussen getting the final 6.
Braves manager Walt Weiss said Chris Sale starting Sunday’s Game 2 after throwing 2 innings out of the ‘pen Thursday is “still on the table,” but it will depend on how he feels. Sounds unlikely tho.
“We’re gonna err on the side of giving him (time to rest) if it’s even close.”
I respect trying to win the game but using Sale here is unnecessary. They can keep him to a side session amount of course but it’s just not necessary 😂
It obviously feels like the Red Sox kind of limped into this series and it got worse losing Roman but this is a pathetic showing. Waxed twice in two days in the playoffs. Brutal showing. Hopefully the Cubs have us with one more game 3!
Sean Burke will start Game 2 as the White Sox try to win their first playoff series in 21 years. He’s motivated.
“This is my life. No family—no girl, no kids. This is all I do.”

Love to see Donnie baseball go to Duran here. If everything worked out then top of the order doesn’t bat again. Plus Duran can either pitch the full 8th or get an out or two before passing it onto another teammate. Bold but I love it
