"Earlier this year, I wrote about how much fun meaningful September baseball is. It's been a while since we've had it here in Boston, and I forgot how much it consumes me. I was fairly productive at my day job today, but my mind wandered back to the game tonight more than it usually does. With the magic number at one, the Red Sox should make the playoffs."
"If they lose tonight and the Astros win, things might get a little bit tense. Tarik Skubal is on the horizon, and the Fenway crowd might be a little on edge on Saturday if things go poorly early in that game. I'd prefer if that didn't happen, so let's go win a ballgame tonight. How about it? First pitch at 7:10 on Apple TV. Friendly reminder that you can change the audio to the local radio broadcast on Apple, if you so choose."
Meaningful September baseball has returned to Boston after a long absence and is occupying attention more strongly than usual. Productivity continued during daytime work, yet thoughts repeatedly returned to tonight's game. The Red Sox have a magic number of one to secure a playoff berth. A loss tonight combined with an Astros victory would create tension heading into the weekend. Tarik Skubal is scheduled to start on Saturday, and a poor early performance could make the Fenway crowd edgy. A win tonight would prevent that scenario. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. on Apple TV, and viewers can switch Apple TV audio to the local radio broadcast.
