Oh look, another soft series against a quality opponent. So shocking.

Appreciate this board for the catharsis and company. Just brutal. Crushed.
My girlfriend appreciates it too since I can voice my opinions here instead of yelling at the TV and waking her up

How's this for key stats?
Boston - 11 hits, NO walks, team 2 for 10 with RISP, 7 LOB - only 3 runs MFY - 9 hits, 3 walks, team 4 for 5 with RISP, 4 LOB, 6 runs
We certainly do leave them on base this year - it's been a problem the entire second half of the season, and our hitters chase too many pitches out of the zone. No walks.

Also just kind of absurd that CV and/or Cora aren’t going ballistic when that is called a foul. It’s the most important game of the year and they just sit there and take it? I think Cora heard that from his replay guy and his face basically said wtf. He basically had no grounds to challenge, which is messed up Can't challenge, but he should've asked the 1st base ump if Vaz caught the ball and lost it on the transfer

No walks. And itâs as simple as our core 3 (Devers, Bogaerts, Martinez) not delivering. Bobbyâs hot streak should have been a cherry on top, not whatâs kept us afloat. Bogaerts really should be hitting in the 2-hole behind Kiké to jump start them

Get in West's face and kick dirt all over the f'n plate

What an absolutely frustrating series. I’m so mad right now. Also, why was the ESPN announcer so excited when Stanton homered

No walks. Yeah even with the naked eye it is so blatantly obvious the Red Sox squander an uncommon amount for a team with such a good offense. And now we are really paying up for it.

I honestly think that having the opposing team facing my SP for the first time during the WC game while I’m facing their starter for the 7th time is bigger advantage in a winner takes it all game than the home field advantage.

Win lose or draw tonight. We still control our destiny vs Baltimore and Washington Our bullpen is just demoralizing, the rotations lineup well against Baltimore, but how are we going to fix our bullpen with 6 games left?

Wasn’t Barnes and another reliever complete trash in 18 heading into postseason and it magically came back

Wasn’t Barnes and another reliever complete trash in 18 heading into postseason and it magically came back We also had Eovaldi, Sale, Porcello throw in the bullpen. The problem is that our guys are injured this time. Barnes could come back, but Taylor and Whitlock are unlikely to contribute
