FollowingFollowing a thrilling All-Star break for Sox fans, in which we thrilled to the site of slugging hero Luis Robert Jr. pulverize a ball, and then thrilled to the news that he got hurt doing so and didn’t play in the actual All-Star Game, and so the one bright spot of a season became reduced to a grim punchline, it’s time to play baseball again. I guess. Thrilling.
Anyone hoping for a post-break boost, in addition to being so dangerously deluded as to be considered harmful to children and birds, will thankfully have their hopes shattered by our trip to Atlanta.
