this team is unclutch. Too many wasted opportunities.

McGuire already hit into a double play. Now he struck out with them loaded. Come on, Alex! Free Connor Wong! Give him a chance! Cora should have pinch hit with Story.

Amazing that in 2018, and lots of last year second half, all of Cora's decisions seemed to work.
This year, almost none of his decisions work out, whether deciding who to let bat in big spots, or who to bring in from the pen.

I was listening to Eck talk about the 1978 team - spent a few min at Baseball Reference - it was a different game.
Sox carried only 11 meaningful pitchers (3 others pitched just a couple of games).
Six starters, a bullpen of 5. Eck with 16, Torrez with 15, Tiant with 12, Lee with 8 complete games.
Bob stanley main reliever - 15 wins and 10 saves.
Long time ago, but I remember watching most of the games. Things have certainly changed.

Pretty epic rally going on now. Pressure is off - maybe the bats can relax and do some hitting for the remaining games - we can have some fun at last.

Poor JD just can't join the party. He is simply cooked.

I don't know why every pitch to JD isn't a slider low and away. He will swing at it when it's a foot off the plate and he can't hit it even if it's a strike.

We are up to 6 for 14 RISP. Can't remember the last time we pulled something like this off. Wow. Just one more hit...

Very appropriate for Refsnyder to get the big hit. 7-15 RISP.
We finally got a team that is worse than we are and took advantage of it.

And who got the win? Who managed an important shut down inning? Familia, of course! Just like we all knew would happen!

Obviously Raffy read my strike out machine post and it motivated him. Two hits and 3 RBIs after that post. So you are welcome.

I really want to see more of Refsnyder in September. I think he'd make an excellent 4th OF in 2023, if not more. I'd like more data (because I'm wrong a lot).
