Harsh taken on a 10 K game! Could be. just waiting for the old Sale to come back. Jittery.....but I thank you for pointing that out. Jerry I am coming around to your thinking/worry. Sale at 90-94 is not the Sale of 96-99. The HR was on a 90 mph FB middle-middle. Still he was serviceable. But since he pitches for strikeouts rather than to contact, a drop in velocity will only up his pitch counts due to more fouls and a bit more nibbling. Still 'that guy' should win 15-17 games with support. Unfortunately the offense has been weak and the pen has only two guys one can count on. So close score would be/could be wins will be squandered.

Hot take with 2 on and no outs in the first... They’re gonna score at least eight tonight. edit. Nice job, Christopher, reinforcing that you’re one of the three dumbest posters on this message board. Yeah....but I am the dumbest !!!

The issues on this team are like whack a mole. Getting starters/relievers/offense on the same page in the same game is so elusive so far.

Yeah...I want to see the high velo....then we will see the Sale we know. I am hopeful. Price was really struggling, IIRC, and he has found his way back to being elite (IMO).

Price is evolving/has evolved from 96-98 to 92-94...still a good, competitive pitcher. He has an outstanding change. Sale is in process of finding out whether his cheese can come back. If not, he will have to adjust too. Interesting that we have 3 lefties with much the same velocity...not fully dominant but enough with other complements.

so much traffic, so little damage...what is that, 7 baserunners in 3 innings for us with nothing to show for it?

Ohh boy. Bases loaded for Walden. Go get 'em Walden.

Hopefully, Walden can clean up this mess. Bring in Darwinzon next inning with a clean slate of baserunners. The offense needs to step up. I am trying to remain optimistic..

This stupendous bullpen. Walden shouldn't be in there. That's really high leverage.

Two great defensive plays in a row by Vazquez and Devers, just for pff.

Those were two rocket shots. Let's get Walden out of the game and see what the kid can do. We're down 3 runs, but have 18 outs left, compared to their 15.

Up and out before we have a chance to breathe. Great to be home.

Welcome to the show, young Darwinzon. The way today is going, not getting whacked around qualifies as a huge success.

Darwinzon looked really good.
Our offense looks plain awful. Way too soon (impossible, actually) to know for sure - but did some of the big years last year equate to career years (and they covered up the weaknesses at C, second - often third and first as well) - and we have players returning to earth this year but still haven't really fixed last year's issues all that well.
Or - is the offense simply pressing due to the horrendous start?
Watching this team struggle this season (with the rare exception) is just plain painful and frustrating.
