This team is putrid against any competent competition. The roster is terrible.

We have a .305 xBA this game. 1 run on 2 hits.
NYY has a .317 xBA this game. 10 runs on 9 hits.
Classic.

Baseballs are juiced for these games. I have had the conspiracy theory cross my mind that they're using juiced balls for Yankees batters and dead balls for Yankees pitchers and that is the only possible way they're having this kind of season. MLB definitely has the power to do that and there is a lot of money available to buy absolutely anything. AND I thought that you were kidding...

Franchy is really in a rush to get his K rate up to his career average.

Man Franchy was awesome for 6 weeks but he is beyond lost right now

The Sox should offer Verdugo, Wong, Downs, Franchy, and Wink for Soto. Basically Betts and Beni for Soto, right? Seems fair.

The Austin Davis usage is baffling. The bullpen isn’t good enough for him to be completely buried like he is

Watched the new Thor movie. I’d recommend it over this.

Man… thank god Houck worked out of bases loaded, cause otherwise this stretch would be a new low.

Davis is up to 40 pitches now with just 1 out to show for it.

Cora is like “we’ll save JBJ for a higher leverage moment. Let’s go to Diekman.”

At least they kept their dignity. 🫤 Hopefully they can hold the Yankees to under 20 runs. Pivetta is either an ace or a batting practice pitcher. There is no in between with him. Meanwhile the offense other than Devers has been pretty lame. Knew they can't win tonight or tomorrow because that would have meant that they took a series from an AL East opponent. Heaven forbid.

Imagine if we win the series being out scored by 10 lol I was more thinking imagine how we'd be feeling if they didnt win last night. Instead of losing 5 of 6, it would be six in a row on top of this brutal beat down. Team playing like what you find on the floor of a kennel at the moment.

We have a .305 xBA this game. 1 run on 2 hits. NYY has a .317 xBA this game. 10 runs on 9 hits. Classic. Due to CONSTANT outliers, it’s almost as if xBA is not a meaningful stat to draw any real conclusions.

Due to CONSTANT outliers, it’s almost as if xBA is not a meaningful stat to draw any real conclusions. Disagree. The Sox are 19-7 when they have an XBA over 300 this year. They are also 1-10 when below 200. On the pitching side, they are 11-2 when holding opponents under 200 XBA. The one “outlier” would be that they are 7-8 when the opponent is over 300 XBA, but if you lower that to 280, they are 9-20. I’m not gonna do the research on it, but I’d imagine tonight is one of the most extreme outliers in the sport based on batted ball data this year

Carpenter’s shot was only out in Yankee stadium. But, you know, they are *playing* in Yankee stadium, so it is anecdotal amusing to say, wow, short porch, but saying that means something (low xBA etc) doesn’t mean that much. Add: it is like saying a kicker who misses a 40-yard FG in wind and rain missed something he’d make x% of the time. Yeah.. except ghe wind and rain changes everything.
