At least the METS split their day-night doubleheader with the Yankees.

Someone tell Marco you need to swing at the balls over the plate. Looking at them doesn't do much.

In fairness, if Sox pitchers throw BP, he may never have actually seen balls over the plate.

The inability of our relievers (or last night's "starter") to throw strikes is incredible.  How do they make it to this point if they can't get guys to put the ball in play? 

Something needs to be done about Betts.  He's gone from MVP to MDP - Most Detrimental Player.  Lazy in the field all of a sudden, always squinting when he's at the plate, he looks like he'd rather be doing anything else.

The entire team has gone brain dead.  Look at Brock Holt for example.  He has always been a spark plug.  Now he has made two befuddling plays in two consecutive games.  If this weren't baseball but some other organization making mental error after mental error and simply going through the motions, the manager would called on the carpet for the group's flagging morale.  I hate to be Johnny One Note but this all goes back to ST when Mgr What Me Worry set the tone for the season.
