Allen must be a AAA pitcher for the Tribe. Three appearances MLB July 5, 5 runs, 7 hits in 3.1 IP vs Rays.
Jun 30 vs DET 3.2 IP, 3 runs, 3 hits.
Apr 28 vs MIN 1.1 IP, 5 runs, 6 hits.

Apparently pitched a little for the Padres in 2019, was traded to the Tribe and has seen limited time (i.e. one or two innings) in 19 and 20 and started 5 games in April before being sent down. 1-5 with a 9.13 ERA this year with Cleveland.
Bu look at who is pitching for us. When I saw Eduardo was going on the hill tonight my first words were O SHIT!!!!!! He has been a bitter failure this season for us. Maybe a good game against the Yankees and two other outings but lately he nibbles, falls behind batter and then gets hammered. A pathetic waste of talent. Either he he's not recovered from his illness last season or he is just simply dogshit. And why in hell do we still play night games on getaway days, something started by that jerk of all jerks Larry Lucchino years back. Instead of getting a goodnight's sleep the team must hustle on a plane to travel and perhaps get in Cleveland worn out. Simply to make a few bucks for Prune Face that will certainly not going to go into free agents this winter.

To me he's one of the biggest disappointments on this team. He appears to have talent, but can't summon it when he needs to and seems to be afraid of hitters with either men on base or a hitters' count.
Lineup very late again today.

A blow to Sox tonight. Kike’ (symptoms) and Arroyo (contact) are on Covid watch and will not play. Munoz and Arauz called up.
The radio guys said Logan Allen has a 17+ era in the 2nd inning, but the Sox are no puzzle to Allen in the 1st. Allen is a 2015 Red Sox draft pick, but was shipped out to San Diego in the Craig Kimbrell deal.
Dalbec with a double. Still hitting well. Hope that keeps up.
Cy Allen with the 9.13 ERA is mowing down the Sox.
E-Rod blinks first and gives up a 2-run dinger.
Vaz pulls a JD and hits into a DP while also driving in a run. Sox down 2-1.
E-Rod finally has a decent game and the useless Red Sox hitters are letting him swing in the breeze. Stymied by a AAA flunkie. *If* the Sox make it to a one-game playoff with the Yanks, I can see them doing this to Sale.
I. Don't. Believe. It.
Arauz, who I was grousing about, hits a 3-run dinger to put the Sox up 4-3. I thought sure he'd GIDP.

Definitely didn't see that coming!
E-Rod pitched well, I thought he was going to fall apart in the 4th. Can't believe the Sox made another bad pitcher look like an ace.
Richards with a clean inning. Need some insurance runs here.
Closer by Committee time. Fingers crossed.
Is there a Red Sox rule that says the closer must walk the first batter faced?
Ottavino does it. Sox win 4-3. Now I'm in the uncomfortable position of rooting for a Yankees win to put the A's down another game in the WC.

Not me....not ever. I never root for the YANKEEWS AT ANY ANY TIME. Jonathan Arauz has gotten a few hits for us when called up and I thought he might be a good utility man for us. He tried to bunt in the 8th with two on and no outs and looked pathetic. I yelled at the monitor..LET HIM HIT. He then went deep for a three run job and then I had to sweat the bullpen but we got through. Look after the past three weeks I'll take whatever I can get from these guys. A great win tonight for us and Eduord pitched a pretty good game for a change.
There must have been tired legs on the travel day. I can’t believe I’m seeing a back end pitcher make our top five batters go hitless. Then we get all the production from 8 and 9. (Dalbec did get a hit as well) Munoz had a 35 game hit streak ended last night.
The way Cora was talking after this game, he is thinking pushing Santana to get ready to add some depth to the team. Arroyo could be day to day, depending on negative testing. Renfroe not expected to return until Sun or Monday. It is what it is.
A lot of GYMNASTICS in that lineup ?? I will take the WIN & moveon.saturday !!! rofl rofl rofl
I’m with Fred on the Yankees. Especially because before that game they were about the same distance from us. Yankees are very hot right now. Let´s hope it catches up with them.
