Lets call it an OPENER !! Actually, perhaps his SLOW stuff will counter the JUICED BALL ??? iono iono
Second time in three games I think that Beni has hit a hard line drive right to an infielder. He has the worst luck.
Torres is eating the Sox pitching staff alive. 2nd HR tonight. Plus the granny last night.
Meatball Matt has loaded up the bases with no outs. This game is about to be over.
I have never seen a Red Sox team walk so many guys as these guys have in the past week
Amazing that they got out of that mess with only 2 runs in. Still, that's liable to be enough for this game.
More chances blown. NCH again.
7 in a row. What a collapse. Not so surprising, though. With one or two exceptions, they haven't been able to beat top teams all year.
WTF
7 losses in a row
AFTER winning 5 of 7 against Tampa Bay and the Yankees one week
THEN losing 7 in a row against Yankees, Tampa Bay and Yankees the next week.
WHAT happened to this team???????????
The problem with the team meetings they’ve had, now 2 of them, is that if you lose, then what. I’ll be interested to see what the 2020 Red Sox will look like. They may be hamstrung for a while in bad pitching deals.

There better be changes and a ton of them. I notice Sale bis top at a players only meeting BUT CHRIS, IT HAS COME WAY TOO LATE. You guys have taken the cue from shitface Cora and took the baton from that piss poorly run Spring Training and carried it over to the regular season. You can't just turn it on and, in fact, you guys never have. The team will have to understand that they need to rid themselves of at least a dozen of their current bunch of shithead ballplayers and that includes some of Cora's favorites. And, BTW, don't count on Johnson being a credible starter next season. He stinks like a rotten corpse and once again we didn't hit in sync. Tomorrow we get swept and think it will be time to maybe call up some young prospects and sit down some of our cruds who have disgraced the city, fans and themselves. Back up the truck and one who has to go in Meatball Barnes, a total ****ing loser.
Staff changes are on the way according to Peter Abraham/ Globe. "With pitching problems rotation wide, somebody must take the blame". That's being Captain Obvious. Should have happened before the all star break.
I believe the theory of ageing pitchers who have lost velocity, trying to overthrow, missing badly, when they should be working on off speed pitches. But somebody on staff has to instruct them likewise.....LaVangie, Bannister.

Sale should shut his mouth and stop crying about umps bad calls and try to pitch as the ACE he once was . This 20 pitch an inning and looking like a pitcher throwing in an HR derby has to stop. 22 HRs so far in 80 innings less than 2017 when he gave up 24. 43 BBs in 2018 and 35 so far this year in those same fewer innings. All the media is concerned is his Ks and nothing else. His foolish contract will be an albatross to the Sox efforts going forward

I would like to think that the COACHING staff would point out to the PITCHERS & HITTERS that YES, a SLOP ball (JOHNSON) has a better chance of staying in the park than a FAST ball anywhere near HOMEPLATE against the JUICED BALL !!!! MLB has really had an adverse impact ???? iono iono iono iono
