At least the Rays start their games earlier so I can switch over to something else by about 9 when the Sox are down 5. Stupid Sox home games starting at 7:30 just one more bad decision to make this season less enjoyable.
I think the key in the loss, another loss, was 2 for 11 RISP.
That offense in the clutch was Plawicki and Arroyo (2 run homer). Everybody else froze up at the plate, top to bottom of the lineup with runners aboard. Most of the staff did well, except for Matta giving up 3.
