This is it. White flag time. Separation between these 2 teams is significant. Play the kids Given good health, when is the next year we can reasonably expect to be better than them? That totally depends on how they address starting pitching this off season.

Why are there so many garbage pitchers like Joe Jacques, Bear Claw, Brandon Walter on this team? Bad luck or just poor draft/development, or incapable of identifying good pitching in FA, this is on GM.

Casas is getting screwed by this ump tonight, maybe a personal thing on that unheard timeout

Valdez is not very good but the Sox keep running him out there.

This play he could have taken the lead runner highly unlikely they turn two on the play. It didn't hurt them this time. He is not a good defender.

I wonder if Cora realizes that Duvall can go very cold and it looks like that has happened. Might not be bad idea to put someone else in for a stretch?

Why burn Schreiber and Bernardino? Bats are mostly ice cold. Os have lots of left handed batters. Why not Walter?

Can’t even hurt Gunner’s ROY credentials. Total failure.

Nothing matters tonight except for Roman Anthony’s first AA home run. #FreeCeddanne

If you use your very best relievers when you're up by 3 runs to make sure you don't blow it, can you not use your merely okay relievers when you're down by 3 runs in the hopes of making a comeback?

Well this is how the game should be the Sox are 17 soon to be 18 behind them in the loss column for a reason.

Jail Rafaela! (I don't think the bat is ready; he's starting to remind me of Yoan Moncada's debut.)

Jail Rafaela! (I don't think the bat is ready; he's starting to remind me of Yoan Moncada's debut.) It could be you are right. But to sit him and let him get an at bat late in the game is not a recipe for anyone having success. So either play him in CF and let him start or send him down for more at bats.

3 pages on September division rival game says it all. Kind of like 4 hits on offense and a starter who put 10 batters on in 5 innings,

Back in the friendly confines of Fenway - and four hits. Devers, Casas, Duvall, Masa, Story and Valdez with a combined 0-fer 18.
Out with a whimper instead of a bang

It is a little annoying that we have barely gotten to see him in CF. If you have a guy who has one great tool and way he can help the team win, use him for that! Otherwise let him keep getting PAs in Worcester.
