Base running telling us their heads are not in right place. Dont run w 2 outs, then styling out of box thinking hr and get picked off.

I figure the Sox need to win 7 of 10 on this home stand. Tonight feels like it'll be one of the 3 losses. Honest question. Is there really a huge difference between Philly Pivetta and Boston Pivetta? Nope I’m curious about that. His numbers will end to up being kind of ugly at this rate, and they will look like the guy the Phillies gave up on… but he’s been good often enough that I guess I’m still in on board. He just has such good stuff.

He just has such good stuff. He’ s a #5 starter. Incrementally better then Richards and Perez, but his control is suspect.

Devers and JD are just shooting blanks (others as well, but...)

I'm not suggesting there's a correlation, but games I go to, Red Sox score 11. Games I don't, 0.
Season tickets anyone?

Earlier in the season they would have capitalized and pounced. Not so much now.

I still like Pivetta and would make that deal 100 times out of 100, but I'm starting to wonder if he's a bullpen arm. For every great game he throws 3-4 Richards-like games. I'm just generally tired of 4 inning starts from the staff. I'd make the deal too but I think the bigger attraction for the Red Sox was and is Connor Seabold.

Davis and Robles are the best bullpen arms at the moment. Scary.

Win one lose one win one lose one is not going to cut it to make the playoffs.

Win one lose one win one lose one is not going to cut it to make the playoffs. Well, format will work for the WC game if they can get on the win side of the seesaw. This team is destined to face NY in that play in game. Not great.

I’m honestly surprised they’re playing right now, they’ll typically wait for a home run ball to land before they resume play and I think Sano’s is still going up

Sox just keep finding different ways to lose.

I honestly don't know what to think at this point - and can tell by how relatively inactive this thread is tonight lots of you are with me. The team continues to be totally out of sync. Not a whole lotta fun to watch when they are this stinky.

Shaw is hilariously slow.
Add: it reminds me of what my dad used to say about me: he runs like he’s angry at the ground.

Not a whole lotta fun to watch when they are this stinky. Well, at least we're getting to see the benefits of adding a big time bat at 1B

I was big and slow - but I could hit a softball a long way!

0 RBI for Schwarber.
It's great he has like a .600 OBP. I would like to see him drive in some guys...

At least he hit the ball and has 2 hits, what has bogey done behind him? I like Schwarber batting 2nd except bogey has figutatively stb.
