Risking Incandeza's wrath, it must be said that after 5 innings of at bats, we are 0 for 8 risp with 8 lob.
I tell ya - this isn't easy to do. We are insanely good at something bad.

Youk makes a good point about the Braves running the same lineup out every night, but he left out the part where all of their guys are insanely good and do not need to be protected from bad matchups Maybe just Devers is able to crack a starting spot in that lineup and the rest of ours is laugh out of town.

You know, I'm sure I'm just as annoyed by it as you are! I just don't think it's a distinct skill, and if it is, the Red Sox haven't been especially bad at it this season. But a game like this is certainly extremely annoying.

Pivetta has some amazing stuff, but he lacks the ability to put away hitters and throws a cookie ever so often.

Did Pearson slip Cora a couple benjis to go full tankapotamus after Bloom left? Or is this Cora's idea so that when he becomes the new "surprise" POBBO in November, he can grin fiendishly as his amateur scouting opps people grab a bunch of high-rated guys who'll be in AA within a year?

I mean… you can say Cora is tanking, but his lineup is averaging almost 2 runners an inning. It is not his fault they can’t get a single clutch hit. To whatever extent a manager controls a game, thus far Cora has done what he can.

I don't think the team is tanking. I think they are just not that good - they are banged up, or short, or tired.
Was just looking at the Bear Claw game - that was August 28, against Houston. Since (and including) that game the Red Sox are 5-13.

The capper on this season would be Raffy getting his wrist broken or something.

Devers has an OBP above .400 since July 1st. Good to see.

I like Pablo Reyes and have no problem with him being the starting 2B next year.

Casas' absence is a conspicuous feature of this lineup.

Murphy looked good. Didn't realize he had 97.

When do we start to consider Robertson as an important part of the bullpen next year? He's been excellent since he came back up, and in some tough situation against good opponents. Looks reeaaally good lately. Love his arsenal too.

Looks reeaaally good lately. Love his arsenal too. I mean… if you figure Jansen, Martin, Schreiber at the rear; Wink a little behind them… then guys like Murphy and Robertson look like they could be really strong filling the rest of that pen. I’d definitely say it is the area there are the fewest questions and highest immediate potential.
