defensive issues asside, you are not winning any games with 2 freaking hits .270 xBA though. This game is just cursed. 0/3 on 3 barrels today.

If Valdez can't catch balls thrown to him from the outfield to nab runners at second, can he at least not hit .119
I guess we wait on O'Neill...

Haven't watched but looking at the box score and it's painful that all of Rafaela's at bats on gameday say flys out sharply with no results to show

I just saw the replay of the Ramirez double and I don't understand how everyone is blaming Hamilton? It was a horrendous throw from Abreu. Even moreso I don't understand why Casas was playing so far in with two outs? If he's playing normal depth that's an out.

Has a team ever had both the MLB's best ERA and most unearned runs allowed in a season?

Has a team ever had both the MLB's best ERA and most unearned runs allowed in a season? In theory, if the defense was bad enough every run would be unearned and the pitching would look artificially good.

He has dropped like 5 balls thrown to him . It’s like WTF. I seen enough from some of these guys. We can cross them off the major league team,. Devers what do u say I don’t know what’s up with him. I don’t want to be all negative. Good starting pitching . Once they gave up the home run it was over.

There's plenty of blame to go around.

Fun fact, the Angels and Athletics would have winning records right now if not for the Red Sox. Little silver lining there.

Brutal. In the last 9 days: 2 hit twice, three hit once. Offense looks over matched too often. I guess when you only look to improve around the margins, you end up with a marginal team in general.

Kutter Crawford has been pretty darn good. Red Sox have 1 win and three loses in games started by him.

I'm watching on delay. Feeling good about this one through 3! Don't spoil it for me!! (MLB TV spoiled it for me when I turned it on even though I've turned off scores...)

As much of a rollercoaster Hamilton has been, he might stay up over Dalbec/Valdez when Refsnyder/Grissom comes back. He might be the least bad option of the three - at least he can run a bit and maybe at 2B he's a bit more playable. Btw Cora noted Refsnyder will be "be reintroduced to first base" per Rob Bradford. He's played 200+ innings there in his career previously. (All that really means is if Casas ever needs a day off, it will be Refsnyder there and not Dalbec.)

It cuts away before the ball reaches Hamilton but all you can tell is the throw was going to be bad and then he doesn't come up with it. The scorer in the stadium charged Abreu and not Hamilton with the error. Still my bigger issue is with Casas' positioning but I don't know whether that was his call or the coaches or what.

There was an angle from RF that showed Hamilton having the throw lined up perfectly, hitting his glove, and bouncing right out. Also, Casas was clearly holding on the runner @ 1B, hence his positioning.

I really, really, really want to know at this point what is preventing the team from scooping up Jose Iglesias from the Mets. Sure, he’s not the elite defender he once was, but at least he’s dependable and provides some veteran leadership in the IF.

You don't think they should hold runners on at first??

You don't think they should hold runners on at first?? In this scenario I would have preferred not to. Add: Admittedly I don't know the actual expected run difference there, so I might be wrong. This time it cost them two runs though.
