Outfield has been an area where even though Tristan Peters is having a tremendous rookie season, they could use a little bit more help.

And it looks like Montgomery is going to have a runway here.

They've called up their 23-year-old switch hitter, who is the number two prospect in the organization, number 21 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline and all of baseball.

It is a move that signifies that he's ready and that they're ready to keep this thing going.

I have questions about their pitching staff, which is fine, right?

But you know they're going to need firepower to take on the likes of, help me out again, who's on this homestand?

Inflection point that you need to remember in all of this.

The Sox currently...

They are three games out of a wildcard spot.

Excuse me.

They are two games up on the third wildcard spot.

They are only a game and a half back of the Guardians for the AL Central.

And here's why I say that.

They are two games up on that wildcard spot, but understand this.

The Texas Rangers, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Athletics, the Baltimore Orioles, the Houston Astros, the Minnesota Twins, all those teams...

are within three games of a wild card spot.

So there's a lot of teams in the mix in the American League.

You're three games over .500.

Can you stay over .500 until Munataka Murakami gets back?

Hagan Smith is in the queue, but Hey, feel free to go get a tear Scooble.
