Whoa Barnes - way to battle back from a near disasterous first two batters.

Great - let's get a run - we can kill the pen all we want, but they don't have Maruccis

Barnes was saved by that weak at bat by Pompey. He gets the bunt down, this game is over.

This team is tired. They arrived in Toronto at 4 am last night and they are playing like it.

I like how Carson Smith gets the ball and slings it....Barnes takes forever, and Kelly isn't much faster. Poyner is nice and quick too (why is he in Pawtucket again??)

Despite Pillars hit (which was a very good at bat) that is the Smith I remember from his Seattle days. Just plain nasty. if he can be that going forward, and Thornburg can come back (which looks promising), the pen is in fine shape.

Carson Smith should be used in high leverage innings over Barnes and Hembree. Hembree should be pitching somewhere else.

RS are on the way to a 20 SO game...and maybe even a win?
Brock with a single.

Mookie is having a very un-Mookie game. Definitely a tired looking team

What a waste. Just a terrible game....Sox need to do some thinking about their offensive approach, bullpen, line up construction - they are not in a good place right now.
Hembree - bye. Johnson - not appropriate for the roles being used - Poyner is what is needed. Vazquez....needs to do what JBJ is hopefully doing and identifying what's gone wrong.
Just for starts.

Maile had 5 CAREER HR's and he hits 2 tonight?

Maile had 5 CAREER HR's and he hits 2 tonight? Not to mention the Cy Young bullpen the sox hitters created out of Toronto.

This offense is a joke.

Tired team but no excuse for Hanley not hustling and running through a stop sign. Same with Nunez slowing up before reaching first base.

Waste of an amazing Sale start. Definitely need to give Siwhart a start at C and Pedroia/Thornburg cant come back soon enough. Time to DFA Hembree and Johnson. Mookie couldn't even get a hit, just release him too. Hanley is garbage and poison for the young players. Devers should go to AA for seasoning. Fire Cora.

That was a total waste of a strong Chris Sale start. The Sox should win 75% of his starts but their offense dropped dead after the 4th inning.
And then it took Brian Johnson all of a few minutes to dump the game.
At this point I hope they DFA him. I guess when Wright comes back they do that?
Or maybe they send down Velazquez because for some unknown reason Cora has it in his head that Velazquez can only pitch in the 4th inning? Velazquez should have been in this game. Unless he is hurt or something I really don't get it.

Roger Granderson and Mickey Maile are just too good. What a pair.
