3 Ks on the changeup this inning, weird outing for Crawford. Fastball velo down but changeup was better than we’ve seen it. Still pitched like crap, but maybe he can increase his changeup usage?

Sale and Crawford rack up ks with awful results. Weird

Official scorer just murdered Kutter's ERA I don't think any of us were expecting it to be sub 5.00 anyway for the year, were we? I didn't think it should have been an error. The wind caused that, usually that's taken into consideration.

Crawford just doesn't have a good enough fastball. Meh velo + bad movement + meh command up in the zone = rockets all over the park. His offspeed stuff isn't bad though. He should throw just change and curve/slider, f*ck the police.

I rarely bet on sports, but it seems like a terrific idea to bet “over” on the Red Sox a lot this year.

Youk seems like a nice guy to have a beer with, but I expect more from my color commentator. He brings out the worst in O'Brien (smarmy idle chitchat).

I'd be winning my DK contest if Kutter Crawford didn't have -5 right now. Yoshida and Reynolds going to waste. Why would pick Kutter Crawford for anything because maybe a janitorial contest? Pirates only scored 7+ runs 28 times last year. This was hard to do.

I thought it was telling that Youk had never heard of the Macho Man thing, which is in just about every article about Yoshida and all over official Red Sox social media.

At what point is it that the Sox and Chaim’s pitching program just isn’t working?

As Eck says, everyone is trying to leave earth with every swing. Agreed, but 3 Ks on the changeup makes me think that he needs to flip his pitch mix. His 4-seamer sucks, maybe he should pitch backwards?

Zach Kelly must be Cora's early guy.

I like mlb’s flashback to Jeter Downs’s first HR. Was that, like, a big moment?

Anyone else getting the feeling we’re a dead red hitting team?
