I can’t believe that sequence. 7 hanging curveballs in a row

This is just gross. Complete bullpen incompetence. We've seen AAAA, AAA, and AAAA and they all performed like it.
I think we are seeing why despite their youth, Taylor and Brewer were kind of scrap heap types. Can't throw strikes - hell, no one knows where anything Brewer throws will end up.

Trade for someone good, Dombrowksi. Jesus. This is going to make me sick.

Jeez....I was hoping for some heat after all that junk he threw.

An analogy - Cora is a fine artist, and DD gave him fingerpaints to use. Gotta be stressful knowing that there are so many often useless bodies in that crowded pen.

Three harmless fly balls...yeah, that will show them.

Hopefully this wakes someone the F up in the Sox front office, when it comes to the bullpen. They've been sleeping when it's come to the Sox bullpen all year.

I blame Price more than anyone else. He's the ace. Step up. 4 in 4.1 IP? You've got to be better than that.

The pen has some useless bodies but the starters have been crap as far as eating innings before having to go to the pen. Unless the starters start going deeper into games, the bullpen will continually be taxed the rest of the way (regardless of whatever reliever DD trades for).

Trade for someone good, Dombrowksi. Jesus. This is going to make me sick. The Sox are at least one BP arm away...maybe 2. Price and E-Rod have been fair to good. Sale has lost 'something' and Porcello and Cashner are room temperature at best. The way the starters are now and may be, no long playoff picture. One day were up, the next down.

Colton Brewer isn't a major League pitcher at this point, or at least nothing more than a mop up man.

This ump has been very friendly to Darwinzon.

Agreed....but I will put Workman and Barnes on the talented and vulnerable to burn out list, Eovaldi as who the F knows what he will do, Darwinzon as young and promising but be careful, but Hembree, Walden, Taylor and Brewer as warm bodies only, not worthy of a championship level team.

Since Price rehashed this whole Eckersley stuff he's been bad. Truthfully, it started before that.

Darwinzon needs to start getting more high leverage innings soon. I am cool with him in the 8th and Workman in the 9th. I fear the trade for the reliever. It never seems to work out..

Devers is so good.

Forget Devers vs Vlad Jr.
Devers or Trout?
Just kidding.... right?

Too bad Mookie is in this mysterious funk (0 for his last 11) - with Devers hitting, we'd have more runs for sure. I don't recall Mookie being so streaky in previous years.
