Announcers going on about the incredibly inane statistic that the team that scores first tends to win moire often than not is also, I would submit, worse than Dalbec's offense. (Though not perhaps worse than Eovaldi has looked since the all-star break.) What are stats for the team that scores more?

There’s 3 runs. I think that’s the max they can allow while still hoping to win. A couple of well placed fly balls, an error and it’s already on to tomorrow

darn, everytime eovaldi pitches lately it's hurting his trade value I was just thinking the same thing, at this point I'm not sure they'd get much more than a low minors lotto ticket or two for him.

There was a nice catch by Duran! Not brilliant or anything, but… I’ll take it.

The whole being behind multiple runs in the first couple innings is getting tiresome.

If the game is too painful to watch you could try entertain yourself with draft lottery simulations: www.tankathon.com/mlb

I think we are deep into the JD decline, sadly.
So...the end of the JD era in Boston imminent?

Wake is using the Mike Timlin no emotion, low talker approach to color. Eck, where are you?
On second thought, maybe we should keep Bobby around....

Well, I was driven in desperation to the Cleveland broadcast, and my god the homerism about the pitch to walk Franchy. They were complaining about it not being called a strike while simultaneously showing that it was outside the zone.
I have no home in this world.
(Dalbec continues to not be this team's biggest problem.)

There is the clean baseball Cora is dreaming on.
Then there is the baseball his team is playing. Oh, JBJ ..

There's the approach: just put a defender 10 feet behind Franchy on every play as backup.

i was getting some food during the Bobby Bomb, man that was a shot.
kind of silly. if he gets enough at bats he could have 20 and have a totally frustrating season.

Is there a chance that JBJ will be here next year ?

Is there a chance that JBJ will be here next year ? He has a $8 mil buy out so it would be expensive but I believe his luxury tax cost is only around 4 mil.

I don't remember seeing the team go through a stretch like this where nothing goes right. Uncanny.

Is it Wake color commentating tonight? First color commentator in a while that hasn't made me flee to the WEEI audio. I'm enjoying him.

Franchy is Arroyo-in-RF bad at 1B.
