Betts with another blown catch attempt. Probably didn't have a chance on it, but should have played it on a bounce and kept it to a single.

AB gunned down at 2B twice tonight.

Argh. Nunez blows a popup and costs them a run. Really need Pedey back.

I think Betts should of called him off but easy to say now.

Schloicka · August 31, 2017, 08:13:01 PM

E-Rod has pitched well tonight. Tough luck inning there.

Was thinking that as well.

Sox had their best chance in the first inning and blew it.

That's the game unless the Sox can get the better of the Yanks bullpen.

markj · August 31, 2017, 08:27:55 PM

E-rod can't buy an out here.

Guess I typed that an inning to early. LOL.

Outs! Get your free outs! Courtesy of the Red Sox. We have outs on the base paths, sure outs that we don't make the plays on, and of course, our specialty, the weak ground ball. We make 37 year old guys look like studs, even when they don't have good stuff.

God this drives me crazy. That bloop hit last inning by Hicks probably would have been grabbed by an actual 1B, Betts should have had the pop up that the scorer called a hit. Then a soft ground ball with a triple clutch before a bad throw. No wonder E-Rod struggled after that.

Ramirez is something like 2 for 20 and Young is 3 for 20 against Sabathia. Are we sure that Moreland and Holt would be any worse?

Nunez is wearing thin on me.

Nunez is what he is. Never was a great fielder but if you want his bat you get the rest along with it. When Pedroia (if it happens and for how long) comes back put Nunez at DH and let Hanley and Moreland fight it out at 1st base.

Another fine outing by Hembree. slap ::)

Hate to pile on someone who is down, but XB is useless at the plate.
