And there's unlikely to be a higher leverage incorrect call in the next five innings than a leadoff double with no outs that was erased. Even if you are 50/50 about it I think you have to challenge, but the replay seemed to leave little doubt he was safe.

I don't think player reactions are a good indicator historically. Still, the cost of losing the challenge is so low. You're probably supposed to challenge even if you think there's like a 92% chance you lose.

Yoshida is back to banging the ball into the ground. It's the one part of his offensive game that's concerning; even during his super hot streak, his launch angle was better than it had been but still below league average.

Bernandino has not kept up the great pitching from his first few outings. Happy to have Joely replace him on the roster

It is likey down to Bernardino or Braiser off the roster tomorrow to make room for Joely. Guess they are each getting thier last audition tonight.

If Brasier gets Arenado he has a clean shot at Contreras next inning

Braiser v. Arenado bases loaded. I don't know what I was expecting.

Brasier with bases loaded, and the game not completely out of reach makes me wonder if Cora owes a bookie a ton of money.

I knew they were going to get Brasier today and get swept. This is the big cool off from the 8 game winning streak. Now the 2nd time a NL Central team has walked into Fenway and swept the Red Sox. Don't know what that means, but it's not good.

Brasier’s pitch to Arenado was a good pitch. I know gamethreads are for for overreactions and hot takes but sometimes you gotta give the hitters credit.

It's not going on a limb to say we'd rather have Nate than Kluber at this point. Nate is 1.5/2.2 B-Ref/FG WAR. It also wasn't going on a limb to think during the off-season that Nate was a better bet than Kluber. Sage talent evaluator Mr. F.A. Market valued Nate at 2 years/$34M and Kluber at 1 year/$10M, plus a team option.
But getting a R4 pick for Nate is huge. Yep, sarcastic.

Look at the bright side. We're probably only one batter away from Raffy getting gunned down at second again.

In this country there are two things that you can guarantee death and taxes. In Red Sox Country the two things you can guarantee is that Kluber and Braiser will give you the thought that paying taxes and dying may not be so bad after all, compared to watching them step on the mound for the Red Sox.
