8th time they've blown a 7th inning lead. Closer is not Matt's thing. Workman blew them down last night.

Tip of the cap to Abreu, that was just an awesome at bat. He fouled a high heat fastball at around his eyes.
That's a gut punch. Red Sox have had every opportunity on the planet to put this game away.

Do we admit the Sox need another high leverage arm yet?

Rooting for this team is emotional whiplash.

Do we admit the Sox need another high leverage arm yet? Not until we talk about it for another 100 posts per day for the next month.

This team has just found a way to lose way to often.

Barnes has always been agita incarnate....but credit to Abreu has to be given there.

Barnes is 4 for 10 in save opportunities. Big enough sample size?

It would be different if he had shown he could throw it by, best case in that at bat was he would hit a bullet at bogey for a dp ball. You knew he was hitting that ball hard somewhere, I'd have swapped mid at bat.

Do we admit the Sox need another high leverage arm yet? No we don't because updating beliefs based on an n = 1 or 2 or even 5 sample is reactionary silliness. Can we say that Matt Barnes shouldn't be a high leverage arm? For now, sure. But that's different.

Chi Sox have completely thrown this game away the bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th. Matt Barnes: Hold my beer... Yeah, no kidding.

should have just let Taylor pitch the 9th...probably better than a fatigued Barnes

OK. The gauntlet has been thrown. Time to steal their flag and take a happy plane ride across the pond (had to say it...everyone is saying it)

Barnes needs some rest and perhaps a different role for a while. As a closer, he’s rough.
