Two stinkers in a row. Took the Sox right out of being competitive.

Nick making that rotation decision easy for Cora and Bloom. The problem is you could make good arguments that any/all of Pivetta, Houck, and Kluber shouldn't be starting. Don’t forget Bello(and probably even Sale!). Bello hasn’t really shown enough that I’m a believer yet. This team basically has a rotation of #3-5 starters filling every spot depending on the night. They need to have more consistency there because they can’t just hope to score 7-8 runs every night and outscore everyone. Could Paxton be the stabilizing presence they need? Color me skeptical.

the whole starting pitching staff is iffy at best. there is not one that can be counted on for a solid pitched game.

I'd be happy with Sale, Paxton, Houck, Whitlock and Bello as eventual starters with Kluber and Crawford the long men out of the pen.
For all the starters, the stuff is there.
I'm not buying into the doom and gloom view.

I only wanted a split out of this set. No issue with it coming tomorrow night instead.

Figured there was a reason Dalbec was up. What happened this time? Arroyo can never stay healthy.

Murphy has such a jerky looking swing. Amazing he's so good offensively.
Also, aside, but I love being able to trust Duran a bit in CF.

Kinda annoying that the Sox were in on Murphy forever and then when he gets traded to someone else he becomes the best player in baseball

The only thing I'm annoyed about is that the A's moved Murphy for a weak package and then he signed a team-friendly deal; like it should not have been that easy, and for that price I think most teams would regret not having done it. Braves' GM is an animal.

Seems like Morton has our number but earlier in the game he was all over the plate. Kiké helped him out his first at bat. He worked a 3-2 count I men he was lying off the low pitches but he finally swung at something I really don’t know how this pitch fooled him.
If they did a mlb starting SS ranking he would be bottom 3rd.
I can’t believe the Sox couldn’t comeback and help out Pivetta. It was so close.
