JBJ is the only batter to get himself out daily.

The winning run would be at the plate if Heath Hembree didn't exist.

JBJ I’ll never be able to figure out why he changes his approach when it starts going well. He was trying to pull all 3 of those strikes instead of shooting it the other way

Booooo!!! You get what you get this year. Front office set the tone this year with non effort to push it to the max to win.

That sound you hear is the playoff train leaving the station....not this year, I'm afraid. A real shame, because the talent is there, but the execution is not

that last pitch on Benny seems a bit high, Ump just wants to go home. not only this game sucks but we are in danger of getting swept.

Well, any good positive vibes they created last week when they pounded the Yankees three straight times they've undone and totally destroyed.
Is this team capable of making the post-season? Yes.
Will they make the post-season? I've assumed because they were better they would, but I'm coming around to the opinion that they're not going to make it. That between Tampa, Cleveland, and Minnesota, you have three teams that are likely to beat out the Sox and that doesn't even factor in Oakland.
They didn't make their team better. Meanwhile, Cleveland, Minnesota, TB, and Houston did. Porcello is still going to take the ball every 5th day because they don't have a better option, which is sad when you consider his ERA is near 6 this late into the season. Chris Sale cannot be relied on to be the consistent ace they need him to be. Dombrowski and John Henry basically said it - this team isn't worth risking anything more for - they probably aren't worth it, even though they're still damn close enough to grab a Wild Card spot.
It just flat out feels like it's just not their year. The signs have been there all year long.

Baseball is designed to break your heart man! Funny how Walden and Taylor struck out d'Arnaud and Meadows respectively while yesterday they walked and yelled a hit to setup the Brewer s*** job 😃 I think Cora should think hard about starting to stretch Eovaldi into a starting job 'cause this version of Porcello is going to kill the team.

Watching Cora in the post game, he keeps saying we have to keep working, we have to play a lot better. Seems like he's been saying that for 4 months. This team is not turning it around.

How does Mookie watch that pitch with 2 strikes? I was at last nights game... caught my first foul ball, but I digress. For as bad as Porcello was, Mookie despite his 3-5 night was right behind him as far as reasons this team didn’t win with 2 key plays: 1. 5th inning down 5-2, Chavis on 3rd with 1 out and he watches strike 3. 2. 7th inning 2 outs runner on first. Kiermaier hits a ball to right field that Mookie loafs after and it bounces before the warning track and ends up an RBI triple then he scores. Making it an 8-2 game. Watching strike 3, it’s not ideal but whatever it happens. The play in right field was beyond bogus. No effort - lack of focus, whatever you want to call it. Fact is it encapsulates this team. They just aren’t locked in on winning baseball games. Just terrible. For those keeping score at home that’s a 3 run swing and they lost by 3. Just saying.

So, what would everyone say is more likely true of the 2019 Boston Red Sox: Lack of talent this year Uncaring/indifferent No sense of urgency in that they just expect to be there in October?

Lack of effective pen arms Poor performance of talented starters Regression a bit of JDM and Mookie in clutch spots Mostly Bad tone set in spring that has carried through all season, leading to too many losses of winnable games
