Last two posts are some kind of strong reactions in the third inning of a two run game.

This team will be nothing without Big Papi.

Last two posts are some kind of strong reactions in the third inning of a two run game. Given the way he was struggling early in the game, I'm surprised ERod settled down and has been able to get so many outs on so few pitches. Now it looks as if he could go at least 7 if he keeps KC off the board. That strikes me as sort of bad AB management by the Royals. Uh oh. Second and 3rd, no outs. The Royals have us exactly where they want us.

It's too bad we already conceded this game with two outs in the third inning, looks like the team didn't get the memo.

Bases loaded, no outs, and all three eventually come around to score? Is that allowed?

In 5 innings we've hit into 4 double plays, and Pedroia isn't even in the lineup.
One of the most amazing stats of all time is going to be the number of doubles Papi gets this year given that the guy can't run. The heck with what the average, HR, RBI, and OPS turn out to be. How could a guy like this, who barely hobbles much of the time, legitimately get to 2B 50 times in a season? In watching game runthroughs, I've seen any number of times where he's hit the ball to the wall, it rattles around for a bit before an OF gets it in, and Papi is just pulling into 1B.

Geez, can we not give this right back please? Ooof. According to pitch tracker, ERod got away with a total gopher ball to Gordon.

Matt Barnes really is a boom or bust relief pitcher.

Matt Barnes really is a boom or bust relief pitcher. You're being extremely generous.

Hey the Sox most certainly can win this game, but they really need to capitalize on opportunities and stop banging into rally killing DPs. A working bullpen would be nice, too.

Well, if you're looking for a miracle to get us out of this inning, he might be your guy.

And this is why you don't want a manager who pisses away winnable games leaving you hoping the competition screws up.

Dear god Barnes is a complete trainwreck. You've gotta be able to get a single out from the bottom of the lineup. What a terrible pitcher.

Barnes got unlucky on that high bounce but come on, you can't throw that pitch to Mondesi and expect good things out of it. Bad game thus far, really sloppy on offense and SOME GODDAMN AWFUL PITCHING PLEASE GET AN OUT.

Red Sox have hit the ball hard many times and resulted in outs and DPs. Royals hit two infield choppers and result in runs with no outs. Maybe Red Sox should have their own praying mantis.

asking because I don't know (not implying he's bad), what is the role of the bullpen coach, and is there reason to believe that our's is below average?

This may be the game we look back on and say, that is when we knew this team was missing the playoffs.

A completely non-competitive appearance for Barnes. Please take him far, far away.
