September is where fans turn into nervous wrecks. The Red Sox have a huge eight-game road trip to end the month, including a pivotal series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
And let’s not forget the final regular-season series: a four-game set at home against the Baltimore Orioles. This could be a make-or-break moment. Picture it: the bases are loaded, two outs, and a rookie is at the plate. Hold your breath.
If the Sox are in contention, these games will feel like playoff baseball. If they’re not, well, you’ll still watch because you love the game—and because someone has to finish that seventh-inning stretch.
