Pitching was ok. No offense tonight.

Nine walks isn't ok pitching in my book.  Why do Sox pitchers walk so many?

  COL. TRAVIS  & GORKY  took the bite out of the lineup , again ….. Not a tough loss, but a stupid loss !!!! iono iono iono iono

It was all said in the lat two missives.........too many walks, little offense or energy displayed by the team along with gross stupidity.  Like Betts being thrown out by ten feet against a rookie catcher who wasn't even warmed up to Devers being gunned down last night at home plate, it is clear to me that our team can't even bring themselves to go 100% all out.  The rot of Spring Training's loafathon still permeates everything this irrelevant team does.  I won't even watch those games against the Yankees this weekend.  I can see the carnage already.

Nine walks isn't great but only giving up 2 runs is. Give me a 2 in the opponents run scored column every night and I won't care how they did it because the Sox will win 95% of those games.
