GAME #105, KANSAS CITY ROYALS AT BOSTON RED SOX

[elktonnick]

Bogaerts makes his second bonehead play of the game.

[markj]

And just like that the bottom of the order ties it up.

[elktonnick]

Bogaerts base running has cost the Sox two runs.

I want to know what Rubin told XB before he took off for second base. Assuming anything was said.

The kid is pressing, but man,

Damn, 2 in a game? Nunez? Sweet!

Anyhow, the kid is pressing, but somewhere, somehow, there has got to be someone in his ear and talking to him between innings or whatever it takes to learn some situational baseball. Much of what we see on defense is the same thing. Overdoing it. that, and trying to look flashy. I've wondered if they have any control over him.

Nunez puts the Sox ahead.  He is a house afire right now.  So Farrell will obviously rest him tomorrow.

I think that is a systemic problem with this team as a whole, no situational awareness

I was hoping Devers left his error prone-ness in Pawtucket.

6-4 is good, though. Hope they can hold this lead.

[elktonnick]

That type of throwing error is one that is easily corrected with game experience.

He took way to much time to throw it. Need to get it and throw it. Treat it like you have a fast runner going down the line. 

[markj]

So much for holding the lead.

[markj]

Boyer has done nothing but crap on the mound since he came in.

[longgame]

This is brutal.  Between Bogaerts and his run-prevention baserunning - probably lost us at least 3 runs.  Then Workman is the long man so he puts in Abad and okay, Abad gives him a good inning.  Why on earth would you ever run Abad back out there?  Classic Sox this year - can't stand prosperity and the few times they hit the pitching falls apart.   

[markj]

One thing I hate about NESN is their insistence on playing the same stupid commercial during every break. I'm sick to death of looking at Wahlberg and his rodent.

[markj]

This game is heading south fast.

[markj]

4-run inning finally comes to an end. And XB almost blew it with that lame throw to 1st. His head is not in the game at all lately.
