Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images | Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images The Red Sox’s game at the Tigers has been moved to 6:10 p.m. because of expected thunder in the area, but not that from the Sox’s bats. And while it’s theoretically nice that they don’t have to face the two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner in Tarik Skubal, it’s a bummer that he’s hurt but then again, who isnt? Besides Payton Tolle, that is, who starts for the Sox, and lefty Tyler Holton, who starts for Detroit. Jarren Duran’s leading off despite Holton being a southpaw and Mina Kimes offering her services, and is followed, in order, by eight other members of the team, listed below: The Tigers have also fielded a lineup, surprisingly. I’ve used this bit before, and it’s helpful because I don’t need to check if it varies wildly from yesterday’s or whatever, as I can feign coolness instead of admitting ignorance. Given how the Sox have been playing, what does it even matter tho? If the Sox are gonna turn this thing around, they could take a cue from Max Verstappen. Look at this shit! How does one do this? And can he pitch?
