That inning was a good example of Trevor Story's value (and infield defense value in general). If he's playing second there they might get out of that inning giving up no runs, or maybe just one.

Just tuned in to see Bleier facing like 5 righties in a row in high leverage...? Never should have been brought in, and if he was they should have had a righty ready to go immediately after the third batter he faced. Awful pen management. Yeah, I am rarely one to board the bullpen management criticism train, but that looked like criminal negligence.

Kevin Cash is not a bad manager. Has a good hitting coach too.

Up 2-1, but you knew the collapse would happen. Just a matter of time. Poof

6 batters in our line up have no hits. We are 1 for 6 RISP.
Yes, it's the pitching - and it's the defense. But it is also the offense (lack thereof).

This seems like a perfect situation for a sac bunt from Chang.

The reason I love the Sox? They are the only thing that makes me happy to be at work and unable to see them play.

I don't think I've ever seen Yu Chang get a hit.

the Sox offense in so soft. Pop-ups, weak grounders, and strikeouts. No threat at all.

In our current line up, as of today so far, we have averages of .190, .135, .116, .000 and .189.
You simply can't come back from deficits with that. You can't compensate for shaking pitching with that.

And a 0.04% chance if you add in Lowe's and Mejia's hits.

Expected hits in the bottom of the 5th: 2.24
Balls hit with xBA of more than .400: 0
Balls hit with EV greater than 91 mph: 1
PA with a higher EV (100.8) and higher xBA (.500) than anything in the bottom of the inning: final out of the top
Odds that any of this will be mentioned by local press (Speier excluded): 0
