Disgusting. This is shaping up to be the worst loss of the year.
They had a 6-0 lead with the bases loaded and one out, didn't score, and now the Angels have come all the way back. Damn. They could have moved into 1st place tonight.

Kelly has been amazing this year - but when he is bad, he is awful. Not a whole lot in between. Thankfully, implosions are the exception (sadly we are seeing one tonight)

And yes, the Sox #1 need is a high leverage reliever. Kelly has been mostly great but he's had some rough outings lately.
What sucks is he had that easy DP ball that he threw away!

Kelly is either a disaster or really good. No inbetween.

OK - new game, we are home, we get to bat last, we have Kimbrel. Let's see this disappointing development evolve into a thrilling victory. (we can do it...we can do it...we can do it....)

Simmons bobbled the ball out of all players. Baseball is funny sometimes.

Wow, Sox got completely jobbed by the replay official. One of the worst missed replay reviews this season. edit. Seriously, how can they be that bad at reviewing what is so plain to see? The replay center is in New York. I mean, it's easy to see why Boston loses mostly every challenge.

Devers you don't make errors in front of Mike Trout. That should be a commandment in baseball.

The high pitch Sox catchers invariably call for on 0-2 which almost always comes in laughably - and predictably - far up out of the zone is almost always a wasted pitch and looks like a misread of analytics. If you want to thow that pitch high it should be a fastball ablve the letters but no higher than the shoulders. That at least will give some batters the idea it may be a letter high strike coming in. A better pitch is almost always a low outside fastball, which may also get a swing, but if it is somehow hit it shouldn’t do much if any damage.

Whoa - asking Kimbrel to get the 4 out save. This is the time to do it.

No need to take Barnes out for Pujols. That's strange.

Oh dear. Kimbrel in a non-clean 9th inning situation. Terrifying.

C'mon Kimbrel. Gotta win this game. I almost don't even care about tomorrow's game. Take this one.
