There are so few stolen bases these days, does it matter much? It's one of the things I miss about baseball. I feel like the staff is typically quite slow to the plate too so a lot of the time it doesn’t matter who is back there

not a great throw by KP on that one. Pretty standard from him, but I’ll take his hit tool and he seems like a good catcher in every other aspect (don’t have the data for that one) Has 27 SB vs. 3 CS. The lowest throw out rate in the majors.

Duran can’t lay off the high fastball. That’s going to be a problem.

I'm not normally Captain Overreaction, but my current feeling is that Duran isn't gonna make it

Most teams, not just the Sox even have the catchers down on a knee (even with runners on). Rarely throw over to first....no effort to control the running game.

They're gonna hit one or two of these sliders 450 feet the second time through

Apparently our hitters haven't figured out this guy throws high in the zone with 2 strikes. Hope they get the memo.

Duran/Shaw at the bottom of the order is basically Marwin/Franchyesque, if we're only going by season-to-date stats.

Manwhile, apparently Stanton is *not* the most awful hitter in the majors, though I'll be damned if I know how that's possible based on every AB I've seen from him.

Yeah, he looks like he doesn't belong in the majors 90% of his at bats against the Red Sox. Just looked it up. Before tonight, he has a .447 OPS in 52 PAs against the Red Sox with 21K this year. Now 22K in 53 PAs.

Gil can’t throw strikes. They need to not bail him out by swinging at pitches outside the zone.

just tuned in after watching a movie. Now thinking the Os series was beating up on a bad team. If we lose this and continue to look bad doing so, it may be time to reset expectations on the rest of the season. We just play poorly against the teams we must beat. I've been pretty hopeful and optimistic...but...

Here comes Gardner, who will either walk or get a 70 mph hit, which are his two skills.

Eh, they lost game one and are losing now, but it’s not like they’re getting blown out with no shot. They have had multiple opportunities to take and hold the lead, they’ve just not quite seized them.

Watching Duran defense, he isn't really good. His arm strength is not for a CF.
