A loss is a loss but at least they went down fighting.

McGuire over Turner was a choice

Time to bench Verdugo for having his head up his ass again. Cora: “I don’t get it. These guys can’t play to their potential. I’ve tried everything. Benching Verdugo. Benching Verdugo again. Everything.”

In the end, this team is on the outside looking in, because they continue to struggle beating the teams they're supposed to be beating

McGuire over Turner was a choice I hope the heel is barking, because if not...

This is one to remember come stats time. O sucks, puts them in hole. Pen is taxed, and cough up huge lead. Then O scores enough that in the end looks like a game the pen blew (7 runs! You should win that game) — but it was too little, too late. But it’ll make for some good offensive stats later!

We have our regular DH who has very little platoon splits and is a very good hitter against lefties and righties and a very clutch hitter on the bench available to pinch hit, or you have a soft hitting catcher who has the platoon advantage, but is still below average overall against righties.

Always nice when every single pitcher gives up at least one run.

Pitch clock had expired on that K. Nice. I went back and checked, absolutely expired pitch clock but the home plate umpire completely missed that

Hitting a pinch-hit double will cure your depression much faster than Prozac, BTW.

Time to bench Verdugo for having his head up his ass again. How is that ? Playing it safe with the tying run at the plate is not a sin. He was 2nd guessing himself, but I am not.

No-No-N-Nats.
Thank you. I’ll be here all week. Two shows on Saturday.

The Sox fall back 9-1 and then the furious comeback to only lose by 3. Cora says maybe that is what is going get us going. I say BS. This has happened a lot before and we get trapped into thinking that. No, they suck at hitting consistently too long to believe the next game won't be a complete letdown.

Their announcers were in disbelief. It wasn’t that bad. Someone had to drive him in one way or the other to come back.

Nobody plays to the level of their competition quite like the 2023 Boston Red Sox, a sign of a very unserious team.

So they lose 10-8. Is the takeaway from that game that problem was Verdugo’s base-running? Because to my eyes, there were many guys who deserved a talking to more than him.
