You hate to place importance on an early season game, but this is big on two fronts. Get out of this downwards spiral as a team and hopefully being able to chalk up Pivetta's rough start as just a rough start.

Plus Gausman pitched well the other day. I'm not even sure I want to watch them anymore until they start showing up. Of course I will anyhow....

Lack of offense? Let's give Devers the day off. ::)

MongoLikeSox · April 26, 2022, 07:23:46 PM

You'd think they'd get this figured out by now - the tech, I mean.

markj · April 26, 2022, 07:41:03 PM

Gausman causing a lot of grief with those looking at called 3rd strikes.

markj · April 26, 2022, 08:44:42 PM

Sox finally find some offense after Gausman gets pulled. So far the Sox BP has been doing well. Sox up 3-2 with more scoring chances.

markj · April 26, 2022, 08:54:03 PM

Sox get a couple more. Kike gets thrown out by a mile and ends the inning, but Sox up 5-2 now.

elktonnick · April 26, 2022, 09:19:30 PM

Diekman why?

markj · April 26, 2022, 09:27:13 PM

Unreal. Sox BP does stellar work all night and Diekman comes in and blows a 3-run lead. WTF.

MongoLikeSox · April 26, 2022, 09:27:25 PM

that stinks on ice.

elktonnick · April 26, 2022, 09:28:19 PM

Another stupid managerial move by Venable.

markj · April 26, 2022, 09:58:31 PM

Sox continue to find ways to lose.

elktonnick · April 26, 2022, 09:59:58 PM

The Red Sox entire approach towards pitching has sucked for the past 4 years.

Venable is a walking cancer in the dugout. He has made one stupid move after another and it seems those moves wind up killing us with booming, smashing and confidence killing home runs. Get this butt out of Boston quick. I don't think he has made one decent move since he has taken over for the RFC. I'm not watching any more games for at least a month and if some of this trash we have playing for us are still polluting the team it will be longer. And what the #$%& is Bradley doing batting up in the lineup. I told all of you that you can't do that with him because he will go south in a hurry, now below the Mendoza Line. But JBJ has good company. As shitty as he is Vegetable Venable is worse. Somebody get a cigarette and a blindfold to this piece of managerial crap.
