Even with the sweep in Toronto, it feels a bit like the Sox have about four dead spots in the lineup. Glass half full, a few guys are carrying them. Half empty… they are back to last year’s black hole at the back end.

Half empty… they are back to last year’s black hole at the back end. they can play with anyone, no doubt, but it doesn't show up with regularity, thus far. if i had to guess, it probably won't, but you never know.

I know they had to today, but this is why I hate the opener or bullpen game. The odds of 4-5 guys all having their good stuff in a game can’t good. So you get Orted. Or now Garzaed.

Probably should have walked him, too

Garza is trying to be a good teammate saving Ort’s roster spot

I like how Dugo took charge on that popup.

Lets face it the last 4 guys in this bullpen would ideally only be used in blowouts.

Well Dunning has done it again. .287 xBA against him, just 0-4 w/ RISP.
Dunning's actually allowed 10 hard-hit balls today, compared to 8 for all Boston relievers combined (including the Jung double this half inning).

While I am very grateful to Ezequiel Duran for being traded from the Yankees for Joey Gallo, I am really not a fan of the eyeblack face cross. What are you, on a crusade? In Hoc Signo Vinces, y'all.

Casas is back below replacement level He's also generating negative fWAR. Frustrating.

I just adore the decision to intentionally walk a guy to load the bases with a guy on the mound who can't throw strikes. Another gaffe from the gaffer.

There is a reason we havnt saw Garza for a week. I Ms say 2 more innings and move on.

One of those games. Duct tape pitching staff isn't holding

Frustrating sequence, two outs on 100 MPH pieces of hitting from Verdugo and Casas. If they score a few runs maybe no Garza this inning.

Yes but it looks like he will have 8 wins and lower his ERA by the end of the day. Sign me up for 6 innings and 1 run every fifth day. I will pencil him in to the Sox rotation right now.

that was pretty routine, let's not hype this guy too much.
