These guys are talking like a solid #6 hitter being a good thing as if it was some sort of revelation. It's been make or break for them for many years.

JD got screwed many times this series.

This ump has called some ridiculous strikes.  You watch him looking at the ball when the pitch comes in and he has his neck turned away from home plate.  If it were over the plate he wouldn’t be able to see it he’s looking so far off the plate!

This is the kind of game that makes me nervous.  It’s been a very slow game for a 2-1 game in the 5th.  Pivetta has had some control issues but otherwise looks good so far so let’s hope he can keep going.  But the offense keeps getting men on and not doing anything.  Time for the heart of the order to get something going.

The offense has exactly 2 hits. Xander's dinger and Arroyo's triple. They've been gifted (and wasted) a bunch of walks, though.

So, it's Vaz's fault that Pivetta missed his glove by 2-1/2 feet?

Sounded like he was looking for excuses for this ump's BS calls.

Ottavino played an 0-2 card you just don't see anymore and it froze Correa. Nice!

It amazes me that an offense that was red hot can suddenly turn ice cold. Xander has 2 of the 3 hits by the Sox tonight.

Altuve was bound to hit a dinger sooner or later. Shame it had to be when the Sox only had a one run lead.

markj

Dammit. This inning should have been over except the ump sucks.

That said, Sox have had lots of chances and blown them.

Lance Diaz has missed about a half dozen calls tonight.  He is right up there with Angel Hernandez

Eovaldi has let down the rest of the pitching staff. Cora's mojo backfires.
