Ah, just jumping in after a busy night - our offense continues to be on fire, it seems. Another poor start, another RISP fest. Ugh.

The Sox can still win this game but I'm not feeling optimistic about it. Terrible situational hitting on the one day the pitching has been decent. Tampa is getting revenge on the Sox for the early season sweep.

Great - in tomato heaven, cooking up a storm, went out to a new ice cream place tonight. Then watched an episode of Silent Witness. But...thinking it was time to peek in on my beloved Sox. We need to get the hell out of Tampa and its horrendous "park" and fans!

This team is insufferable. The Rays? Both at the moment.

Whitlock is such a great surprise - what an arm. I wonder if he can hit?

Has Bloom or Cora said the plan is to start Whitlock next year? I wonder if he could remain a bullpen weapon with an even longer leash after a year more post-op?

Franco making a living to play only the Red Sox and surviving on 2 strike middle pitches.

I haven't said much about dalbec. He seems like a great kid who tries his best but his best might not be good enough for the mlb. It might be time to try something else out at 1b. I wonder if he'll toe the rubber(sometime down the road? soon?)

Just trying to think who I have less faith in at the plate these days- Vazquez or Dalbec?
Can't decide.

It would be nice if this team showed some fight against quality competition.

Dagnamit Christian. Did he hurt himself on that swing because of that catch to end the inning ? Something looked weird there.

This is a really deep funk that the offense finds itself in. I know these things happen...but it is ugly for sure. And getting old.

Dalbec has been brutal at the dish, but has made a couple nice plays at first tonight.
