It's just a bad series. I'm not going to go all hyperbolic on it.

The team is far from awful, just has really bad periods of inconsistency like this.

Pena needing another rest day doesn't help. Throwing out Gordon doesn't help, we should have expected a loss today anyways. The loss last night hurts a lot more.

But whatever, just try and win one game at a time. No reason why we can't turn things around quickly. Despite the result, the lineup is vastly improved recently.

Neris isn't worth his antics. Get rid of him

Except with pitch com you aren't just seeing signs from the catcher.

The balk was intentional - why?


Neris didn't want Story behind him giving the batter either location or pitch. Basically the Red Sox are stealing signs.

Several relievers have done the same thing. They don't want guys on 2B.

Showing some emotion. Much better than continually watching the walking dead out there.

It was a "thing" to the coaches for whom I played.

Maybe, late in the game & down by one, you might try it. Maybe.

The single to left was very shallow. It didn't take much of a throw to get Walker.

In all honesty, it doesn't mean as much when our overall play is just horrendously bad in virtually all areas right now.

He can potentially see into Neris's glove and see grip. He can also tell location based on the catcher without the hitter peaking back.

And I'm shocked that Cora's teams would do anything like that. Shocked.

I bet Bregman is livid his coach would stoop so low.

Definitely not a thing. Not all that rare, or necessarily bad, to get the 3rd out at home. It's a game of odds. If it's a 50/50 play at home you're sending him. Much better odds than getting another hit.

That said, not sure that was a good send for a variety of reasons.

Right. Why I said he may be tipping pitches to him.

12 hits, 15 total bases.

Boston is 9 and 22.

Maybe singles are not a winning strategy Dana. Maybe think about that for roster construction next year.

I think you just got the rule wrong dude… there is no baseball axiom/rule of thumb about making the third out at home.

Damn, what a bad at bat for Correa.

Gotta protect with 2 strikes and you swung at a terrible pitch before.

Watches the second pitch right down the middle, should have swung at that

well there's roster construction and then there's trading Tuck for Paredes/Smith (in a good year that's maybe a push XBH-wise) and then there's having your big XBH guys (Yordan/ESock/Pena) get injured for long stretches. Altuve and Yainer/CW are starting to wake up in the slug dept, so gotta hope for more positive volatility!

That pop out on a hanging curve is pretty indicative though, Math

Well at least we are burning Chapman in another game

And if we're lucky, getting the classic Chapman blow up vs. Astros

I thought we got rid of that with Bergman……



these Yainer pop ups just piss me off,

so do the Altuve swinging at first pitch no matter where it is at bats.

i mean you have to TRY to pull that off. You can't do that just accidentally.
