Based on tonight, Big Fudge is greater than Hansel. And Hansel simply is not our new closer. But the odds of a successful, and a painful, appearance seems pretty even odds.

All I can do at this point is laugh my ass off. You can't make this stuff up - no one would believe it. I guess you could say that this is yet another "microcosm" game - all of the team's issues in the second half are on display in this game.

Apparently this is regressing to the mean

Is it too late to trade Robles back to the Twins for the bottom of the inning?

Well. That was fast regression by Robles.

Men on 1st and 2nd with nobody out and 2 runs in and they proceed to do nothing in getting the winning run in. that tells me that they do not deserve to even make the playoffs!!

Agreed - good teams - playoff teams - pay attention to details - don't run into outs, play good D, have smart at bats, and have a somewhat settled pen (at least). We are not doing particularly well in any of those areas and haven't for quite awhile. I don't think it is the talent, but something is amiss.

with nobody out, I don't see how you can (on purpose). ALLLWWWWAAAAYYYSSSS Raffy hasn't been anything resembling frightening in almost a month.

Vazquez kills it again

I think CVaz is past his pull date for this team. Awful.

Instead of taking ball 4 to load the bases, he does the selfish thing aa vazquez always seems to do

Coming by real quick to say that Robles absolutely sucks.

Would have been nice to have had some runners on for Kiké there

Maybe the most telling - and saddest - thing is that the outcome is not at all a surprise for this season. This is what this team is - inconsistent, erratic, frustrating...and baffling.

I blame Vazquez tonight. Forgetting how many outs there were cost them the win in 9.

I'm not sure a team has ever deserved to lose a game more.

They turned an exciting victory into an aggravating loss because of terrible situational hearing. They couldn't score if they didn't HR. Verdugo was overanxioud and got himself out on 3 pitches. And then Robles showed why he sucks. So bad starting pitching, failing late relief and bad situational hitting and you have a host loss to the Twins. Now they're 3 behind the Yankees so if they do get a wild card the game would be at Yankee Stadium instead of Fenway.

Which is such stark contrast to the first 100 games where they were so consistently a 0.600 team no matter who they played. That's the most baffling thing to me.

a pitch way inside and Vazquez swings at it which would have been ball four. How much wood can you get on a pitch like that. you can't get your bat inside the pitch to even drive it. Just a terrible pitch to swing at. this has to be looked at very strongly. Vaz has to know what the situation is and just take a walk. Kiké could have had 3 rbi's and closed to 2 runs with nobody out!!!!!
