Good thing the Sox didn't cash in any insurance runs in the 7th. Not like that can bite you in the butt.

Hard to put this on Barnes. Three ground ball singles, two of which defenders had a good shot at.

What is there left to say at this point? We are in the "the truth is stranger than fiction" zone.

It would be interesting to see where the Sox rank in infield singles allowed. I'd bet they are #1 by a substantial margin.

Figures. How many wins has Eovaldi gotten screwed out of due to the bullpen?

And there we go. Another starter who pitched a gem gets screwed. We all got screwed - we are getting screwed more often than not these days with this team.

Is it fair to say the Sox will be in the closer market this winter? I like Barnes, but he really is better in the 8th inning slot.

Matt Barnes should have been gone a couple of years ago. He isn't a closer. He has really not been that great a reliever (given his inconsistency). It is a effin' shame.
He was obviously using the sticky stuff.

Barnes please do not do this again He turned back into a pumpkin after he got his extension. seems like those interviews when he was asked "what happens if the Red Sox pick Kimbrel at the deadline - would you be OK with that" broke Barnes. He's not been the same since. |

Mr. Kerosene has done it again. You cannot have a closer who blows save after save after save. And when he goes bad in the midst of a team slump, you are doomed.

He's not been the same since. I think it’s more the sticky stuff. He sucked right after that, then got decent again, and sucks again now. In other words, he’s back to his career norm of being consistently inconsistent |

Whitlock did inspire a little confidence there.

Is it fair to say the Sox will be in the closer market this winter? I like Barnes, but he really is better in the 8th inning slot. More than fair. I'm censuring myself because I'm beyond pissed at this performance, both on him, and Shaw, and Bogey, and Arroyo. You have to make the easy plays and take the outs you can get. It's maddening to watch/listen to this team. |

A few needed changes - Ottavino needs to leave the bridge - that role has to be Whitlock's. As to who the closer should be? No idea at this point - we don't have one.

But then again I don’t think we expected to need a real closer this year |
