The two hits and the sac fly came on pitches outside the zone; the double was a Fenway special. Hard to fault Pivetta much.

Cleveland's shoddy offense meets Pivetta's shoddy pitching

Red Sox had EVs of 110, 109, 100, and 93 in that inning.
100 and 95 in the first inning, for that matter. They're hitting them hard off Bieber. Everything on the ground so far though. Wonder if this'll be one of those games where the second time through the order the grounders turn into liners.
ADD: A 105 from Yoshida in the 3rd. Valdez actually had the highest launch angle of the game for them so far, 8 degrees, but his liner went right at the first baseman.
...And Zunino homers on a .260 xBA.

It’s criminal for Cora to bat Casas behind Devers. I wonder which one Francona prefers to pitch to? If Casas must be in the lineup, he should be batting 9th until/if he warms up.

I hope he can improve his D because Valdez can really hit

I don't know what hitting approach tells you to take a fastball down the middle with a 2 strike count. Verdugo and now Casas. Gear up for fastball and adjust to the offspeed stuff!! too much guessing'

Crawford looks good enough to want him in the rotation again...

Bieber is really good. Also think Casas could maybe use some AAA time to reset his approach.

Devers has no plan right now other than swing at everything

Casas being up instead of Duran feels criminal

I’m not able to watch but one thing leaps out to me: Duran 3/4? The train is officially a bullet train.

That game was worthy of the two page game thread that ensued.
