This is unbelievable. What sort of life are the Rays living right now?

Only the Rays could have that ball stay fair. this team is so full of crap hits it can't be anything than destiny for that team to win.

Inexcusably bad defensive play from Renfroe. Just can’t play with that kind of attitude given where they are in the standings. Ball might be a homer? Fellow outfielder might need a backup? Ball might be fair? Renfroe will be there to put in the effort when it is absolutely clear that it is necessary, and not a second sooner.
Meanwhile, that was the ol' 86mph, .010 xBA 2-run triple. Very much in keeping with the last two excruciating games.

Idk why we are still blaming Renfroe for not backing up CF when Meadows was up, he was clearly shaded towards the line. If you’re relying on him to back that up and not the LF then you’re an idiot team who plays like an idiot. Begging for an inside the parker
Speaking of, nice rip

Got a feeling Renfroe is not liking his home park right now. Forgetting about the defensive difficulties/responsibilities, how many homers has he lost in the last week?

How can Verdugo not even make contact in that huge spot? Just have to be more productive in that situation.

If you’re relying on him to back that up and not the LF then you’re an idiot team who plays like an idiot The ball bounces towards RF when it’s hit in that direction in Fenway. He admitted that he lost the ball in the sun and should have been hustling to back up that ball. Being shaded over 10 feet does not excuse a lack of effort. Was he even in the screen when Iglesias got to the ball? I can excuse a lack of execution. It is really hard to excuse a lack of effort.

2nd and 3rd, 0 outs. Getting only 1 run on a ground out is a prototypical 2021 Red Sox squander

Never have seen that fielding strategy. Let the wall stop the grounder.

Ellis, between short and third is not down the line.

That's at least 3 times I can remember they've turned the other team's ground ball singles to left field into doubles by playing the LFer way over to CF.

Never have seen that fielding strategy. Let the wall stop the grounder. It looked like a strange dance, or showing courtesy for the ball. Our outfield D is leaky.

Two oddball statements made by OB..."Sale trying get him with a stinker"...Seattle is tied with the Mariners for the wild card chase".

Eddie serving meatballs tonight. Let him eat innings, or get to the pen early? No good choices.

I can tell you Iglesias is definitely the closer player on that play Nevermind about tonight being a heartbreaker, it’s just gonna be a beating it would appear

Sox are crushing the ball with nothing to show for it. Seven hard hit balls already

I just got home. I see that we are ahead by 30 points in xBA and down by 4 runs. Glad I missed those three innings.

This series sucks, but the Yankees just lost Gerrit Cole to injury in the 4th…

Rays just stealin' the Sox lunch money now - in Fenway no less. Easy enough when you leave your money on the counter while chatting up the pretty girl that's trying to get away.
Got 6 innings to steal it back.
