This game is an excellent reminder how lucky Wacha is. Lots of line drive outs.

The average exit velocity on all of Mcguire's hits this year is probably in the 70s

I love Vegas and gamble but… I think giving the gambling lines in the broadcast is a little tacky.

This game is an excellent reminder how lucky Wacha is. Lots of line drive outs. And hits. And lack of strike outs. I’m not sure if it’s Valdez leg that’s hurt or he is embarrassed

I don't what it is, but I immediately feel so much more comfortable with Pivetta when he pitches out of the pen.

Kinda crazy that Yoshida’s approach is so good that I’m flabbergasted whenever he swings and misses.

The San Diego broadcast loves to cut to the booth for Orsillo's inane vamping just like NESN used to do. Everyone thinks they've struck comedy gold with this guy.

Pivetta throwing a cutter all of a sudden Pivetta will be an asset to the bullpen, and today lined up on his normal scheduled rotation day because of the off day, so he can go a large number of innings. Going forward I think he will be really good in shorter outings where the matchups can be chosen to his advantage. Paxton, Sale, Bello, Houck, and soon to come Whitlock are the rotation going forward. Pivetta moving to the bullpen left Kluber for today. (I had planned to go to today’s game as I live 35 miles from Petco Park, but decided not to a week ago when I saw Kluber lined up for today….). Crawford was not going to start having just come off the IL. My crystal ball tells me an IL or DFA is in Kluber’s future. With the healthy five listed above and Pivetta and Crawford possible rotation replacements, Kluber has no roll on the Red Sox.

I see that JBJ is hitting .145/.211/.205 for the Royals. Can't be many major leagues games left for him

Do you think the Pads would take Kluber and Bleier for Cosgrove? It’s 2:1!!

Do you think the Pads would take Kluber and Bleier for Cosgrove? It’s 2:1!! I am curious whether Kluber would have any trade value if the Red Sox ate the whole contract. I honestly don't know. There are always teams out there that need starting pitcher, and he's not that far removed from being quite effective...

Joely looked crisp. Good news in an otherwise fairly bleak game. Also, still a series win.

The lineup doesn’t matter! 😂 It doesn't really. The difference isa very small number of runs over a 162 games season. There's plenty of studies on the matter if you want to educate yourself about lineup optimization.

Not a big fan of pulling Kluber after 64 pitches and then burning a long guy and three more relievers in a blow out.
Justin Garza kinda maybe looks like he is a guy

Also, Joely and Pivetta needed the work. And Garza is exactly the type of guy you bring into a game like this. Not to mention, there's a couple off days coming up in the next week or so.

I dont think they'll DFA Kluber yet but I think they'll put him on the IL and see if there's anything mechanical they can do to salvage him.

Just a stinky game in all aspects. Nothing to take from this game except DFA candidates stood out.

Duran really pressing lately. Clearly the book is out on him. Will be interesting to see how he adjusts.

I don't think that anyone could believe that Kluber would be this bad after being pretty decent last year for the Rays. Disappointing to say the least.
