Rob Bradford @bradfo · 1h COVID protocol ... Players testing positive are generally out for 10 days. There have been instances where MLB medical experts have cleared for earlier return if vaccinated, deeming them not to be infectious. Usually it is 10 days, however
Close contact protocol ... A vaccinated player wouldn't have to quarantine while an unvaccinated player has to quarantine for 7 days

Red Sox Nation Stats @rsnstats · 5h Another rough night at the ballpark, fans. And it doesn't get easier.
The COVID outbreaks are unfortunate and hopefully not serious, but it's not as though these #RedSox were tearing things up even before this lineup was decimated by the outbreak. Lots of holes, even more now. It's not so much holes as a complete lack of depth. The lineup, rotation, and BP (thru maybe 6 guys) can all compete. But it feels like, if we lose one guy, we need to scramble to replace them.

Pete Abraham @peteabe · 3h Peacock is the starter, Sox say.
Peacock hasn't started a game in the majors since June 27, 2019
Sox are hoping for 4 innings for Peacock and would happily take 3.
I wonder if they would piggyback Richards with him. Get three innings from each, and rely on a rested BP. But we also need to score.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 2m Xander Bogaerts into right. Randy Arozarena throws up the line. J.D. Martinez slides in and it's 1-0 #RedSox in the 1st.
Boston figures to need a lot more of that. Good start.

Pete Abraham @peteabe · 6h
Sox now 9 games out of first in the division with 29 remaining.
Sox are 10-17 vs. the Rays, Yankees and Jays since the All-Star break.
Sox went from May 15 to Aug. 3 without a Covid issue. 14 incidents since (positive tests or close contacts) involving players, coaches or staffers.
Cora did not name a starter for tomorrow. More likely they have no idea at the moment.
Brad Peacock went 5.1 IP on Friday. He also has allowed 9 ER over 14.1 IP in his last three AAA games. I didn't notice that, since the AS break, 23 of our first 26 were against TO, NYY and TB.

the runner advanced to 2b after he tagged the damn catcher as Verdugo with a lazy throw back in WAKE UP
Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 1m Dave Bush out to stall as the Tampa lineup turns over. Two on, no outs in the 3rd.
This could go sideways quick. Alex Cora has no good decision to make here. #RedSox

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 2m More really bad fundamentals there for the #RedSox. Nothing on the Alex Verdugo throw from center and Yairo Muñoz was straying from the bag yet again at second.
