It's like the Sox are the team swinging like it's a getaway day.

What an odd season - and an odd period for them. Team with a high batting average that aren't stringing together hits. Team that is not hitting many homers doing nothing but - with the bases empty.
Just hard to figure.

Farrell is just unbelievable here. He is sitting on a winnable game getting an above average performance from a pitcher who has been below average all year and instead of going to the pen after 100 pitches and three times through the order decides to run him back out there, and KEEPS him out there after he gives up a hit.
Now he has two on and no out, so yeah, NOW let's go to the pen. This from "the manager who is an expert on pitchers."
Lemme ask you John, do most relievers prefer to come into a game with men on and no outs or no men on and no outs?

If a guy is a baserunner or two from coming out, don't send him back out. Now you have relievers coming in in a nearly impossible situation.

And he goes to Scott facing two righties. Oh, to peek into the thinking processes....Scott got through the first one at least.

Hit and run with a catcher on first and the batter with a 33% k-rate, how could that possibly go wrong?

Nice escape - offense has to pick up a good pitching effort.

I actually tried to post that when Vazquez and Marrero did it, but was having trouble with the site not loading. Nice play by Lin there at 3rd.

Xander really needs to work on hitting the breaking ball. It's a pitch that makes him spin around badly.

Not going to win many games when the first three batters are 0-12. This is not a very inspiring effort by the offense (and is sadly a predominant theme for much of the season so far). The pitching is what has them tied for first. When's the last time we could say that about a Red Sox team?

I think it is time to notify all the milk carton companies that they need to put pictures of the Red Sox offense on their milk cartons and list as missing. Maybe the sox owners can offer a reward for the person who finds them.
It is so hard to watch these guys make mediocre pitching look like cy young candidates.
While we are at it, can we please prepare a job posting for general manager?
Dave needs a taxi ride to the airport and a one way ticket.

Geeze. Kimbrel is rusty after not pitching in what seems like 2 weeks. I'm so shocked.

They didn't even make this pitcher work today - came out still at 70 or so pitches.

Awesome offensive showing SOX. You can be proud of yourself.
