heuer was trying to pitch around Devers there, and he was hacking away, IMO.

well that was some impressive pitching. not very often you're going to make jd, xander, and devers in a row strike out that badly.

I might have called Ottavino toast elsewhere, and that was silly. He may not be what he was, so he’ll have rough days, but you look at this fastball/slider mix... he is still very good. Bad day the other day, but it happens.

Getting an extra 4 inches on each side of the plate rn lmao. Little league strike zone!

Looking like vintage Ottavino, that's nice to see

Ottavino appears unimpressed with overwrought analyses based on small sample sizes.

And in typical 2021 Red Sox fashion...we were bashing Marwin so he would absolutely hit the go ahead HR.

Ok Marwin, that makes up for some things.

I appreciate Marwin’s versatility but his bat ain’t doing it for me I WILL GLADLY EAT CROW!

The historical ML career book on Marwin Gonzalez is closing right before our eyes. You were saying? 🙂

Like I was saying, Marwin giving me E. Nunez flashbacks - we all criticize Cora for going with him and then he hits a dinger in a crucial spot.

Plays so much, sucks a lot, people start to wonder when he's going to see more bench, gets a big hit out of nowhere so he continues to see a lot of playing time, continues to suck for a while again. Repeat ad infinitum.

La Russa has a gnome-like quality as time goes on... Maybe it's the mask.

I get he hit a home run in a big spot but Marwin has still been terrible but that is the beauty of it....he has been terrible....will likely be terrible....but you ham and egg your way to division titles. We got what we deserved, IMO. And it feels great.
