well, there is one thing to say I wasn't aware of until I looked at the box score - 8 runs on 4 hits, vs 2 runs on 6 hits. That's not easy to do.
Will we look back one day and say "remember that game when the pitchers were Peacock, Gonsalves and Valdez?"

I'm ready to close the book on 2021. Just don't care anymore. What a sad implosion this team went through. So much hope just eviscerated. Pivetta I shouldn't be disappointed in, but I am. Was really hoping he figured things out and was one of these guys who clicked with a new club.
Dalbec just refuses to be likeable. I just can't believe what a bad 1B he is. Hopefully Schwarber gets re-signed and they like him enough to play there next year or they stick him at DH, play Verdugo in LF, Kiké in CF and look for a RFer. I'm hoping there's a team out there that's willing to buy the hype on Renfroe next season. He's exactly the guy you sell high on.
It's concerning if the Sox players who tested positive were all vaccinated. I get breakthrough cases, but this seems to continue to spread rapidly (albeit with better results, but if they're pulling players for testing positive).

I am ready to move on from JD - definitely on the decline, and has stranded legions of baserunners this season

Will we look back one day and say "remember that game when the pitchers were Peacock, Gonsalves and Valdez?" It reminds me of a game the Sox were making a last ditch effort to stay alive in the wild card race and they brought in a broken down out of nowhere end of the line Steve Ontiveros to make a start. Kind of the same here. Came in to tune in and it was already 5-1 and the game's over in the 3rd inning. Hate to say it but if X is out with Covid, and at this point you have to assume others, the Sox will find themselves out of a playoff spot running out of time to catch up. If this continues and with the schedule being tough over the next couple of weeks the Sox could fall too far out to catch up. For now they can survive, but another 10 to 14 days of sloppy skeleton crew, I don't think so.

Though I have to admit I pretty much erased last year from my memory banks!

Though I have to admit I pretty much erased last year from my memory banks! They were 24-36 last season and if the team winds up 86-76, a distinct possibility, then that will mean the Sox finished their last 60 games of this season with the same 24-36 record.

Our bats just don't have that string 'em together, come back approach. Sad.

Just not in the cards. Deflating in every way. Oh well...just gotta hope that the COVID list doesn't grow.

Very hittable pitch, if Devers was on one of his streaks that ball is 430 ft away

That they didn’t just roll over and die is mildly encouraging given their seemingly hopeless predicament

I checked out the MLB app after watering the garden and the lead was that Sawamura had tested positive. Went to the box score and Bogaerts had just been pulled. Sure enough, he'd also tested positive. What a disaster.

I have a feeling that Bogey being pulled during the 2nd threw the team off. No excuse, just a fact.

Wow, shocking to see this team crumble against a quality opponent.

Then some really good at bats, going with the pitch - until Raffi decided to swing for the fences rather than just poking for a base hit. There were some good hitting approaches in that last inning - encouraging.
