As soon as they said he’s number 1 in ERA in the AL minimum 50 innings pitched, he was going to give up this lead. Why even say that!

This team can't afford Garrett Whitlock regression.

Still thought Whitlock looked good, sometimes good teams get hits.

If they lose the game the turning point would be obvious, when they failed to score again with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out and failed to score. You had to know TB would come back.

xBAs on those three hits: .250, .300, .360 What the hell does that even mean? Every one of those hits was clean. Are we supposed to feel better that Whitlock is throwing batting practice tonight?

I need to look but is Whitlock shaking off Vasquez at all or is he throwing whatever he calls? Too many fastballs there. Not good sequencing.
Additionally the Sox batter after batter just continue to expand the strike zone. They swing at everything. The Renfroe 3-2 pitch bouncing off the plate, then Vasquez’ 3-2 pitch. Let them walk you please…

Best first-to-third Mike Scioscia has ever seen.

And they don't get the big hit. ...or the big stolen base.

when our guys go opposite, play small ball, get men on - we score - then it seems it becomes swing for the fences time. JD with them loaded, Raffi just now. Amazing to see them go away from less dramatic, but more successful approaches so often - clearly is a key impact to our dismal RISP success

How is it that Pitino can work a full six but ERod cannot? Just sayin. Larry Bird is not walking through that door.

Facts are facts. It is not an overarching judgment of Whitlock to say that he was hit hard. To say otherwise is just denial.

The last sentence is unfortunate, as I agree, whitlock has been awesome, but the Sox need this game. It doesnt matter if they lose on a shot or a blooper. The bottom line is all that matters at this point unfortunately.

Red Sox have been unbelievably fortunate this year with injuries(and COVID) and they have squandered it all.

And now the MFYs have taken a 3-2 lead over KC. They trailed 2-0.

When they have played TB, Bos, and Tor, the have atruggled. The Sox need a stretch of games that aren't against TB, Tor, and NY

It is your choice to post this, but this guy is the last pitcher on this team i am gonna throw shade at. Facts are facts. It is not an overarching judgment of Whitlock to say that he was hit hard. To say otherwise is just denial. That is your take. I don't want to get into a back and forth, as I believe people should post freely. However, Pitchers get hit hard sometimes and the results are 3 outs. I just think, with this guy, I mean............he has been unbelievable.
