What a kick in the pants. They didn't just lose. They burned through their arms and put more stress on their lineup.
Not to mention the Red Sox had their all-star ace tonight against this terrible team.
Just ugly.

4 for 14 RISP - sox bats not patient in extras except for Abreu. Another 0fer for Raffy. Issues here, issues there.

At least Chase can pitch tomorrow. i guess? he threw 29 yesterday and warmed up today and thew two pitches. maybe he throws an inning tomorrow but he's not going to be doing like three innings or anything, booser pitched today, but can probably go an inning. bernardino is rested so you could have him go two i guess? you really need criswell to go six tomorrow and i just don't think he's going to do more than four.
feels like tomorrow might kind of be a punt game unless the hitting rakes. and if we're losing two of three to the rockies? idk man it's going to be rough sailing.

Pinch hitting McGuire and letting him swing away and going to Chase Anderson just made no sense.

Four away games, three leads in the 8th or later blown, managerial malpractice galore, bullpen gassed for the last two games of the series, and the cherry on top is that I had to suffer through Manfredball twice. It has not been a fun few days.

Oh joy. A bullpen game after a 12 inning slog that featured 7 pitchers.

The bullpen sucks.
With Kenley struggling or out of action and Martin gone the rest of the pen structure has crumbled. The other relievers have been pushed into high leverage situations they dont belong in. Slaten was starting to gain more experience in high leverage. He was the best of that lot and his absence is being felt. The pen is a mess and cost them 3 games already since the break. Disgusting.
They're working on giving Breslow a reason to punt which really sucks

Well that’s not exactly true. Bullpens are going to blow games. It’s always the most volatile part of a team. That’s why managers run anyone having a hot streak into the ground during pennant runs.

The way they're playing now I wouldnt be shocked if they're 54-50 by the end of the weekend and abou 4 games out of the Wild Card.
Then the choice becomes moderate upgrades or piss everybody off and sell. I still think it would be the former, but man, they're making this harder than it needs to be.

3 painful GIDP late in the game was another killer.

It's not exactly false at the moment. Without Martin and Slaten the pen sucks. Add in a struggling or understandably absent Kenley , it becomes a terrible pen. They've been beaten by freaking Kiké Hernandez twice and Sam Hilliatd. That's enbarrassing.

Clearly destined to lose this game and sell at the deadline, again Or they cab pull a Chaim and not make any moves. 4 games where our entire staff just choked up hr after hr and no lead was safe.

Is this deja vu from the 2nd game against La? Grab a 2 run lead in the 10th only to give it back for a tie. Sox do nothing in the 11th and the walkoff in bottom of the inning. this one we get a 2 run lead in the 10th and give it back for the tie again. this one however waited an extra inning for us to get ahead by one and they walkoff in the bottom of the 12th.

I honestly believe Chaim Bloom and Bill Belichick (crossing sports) both didn't make trades because it was a forgone conclusion they were being fired. I'm guessing Breslow is safe for a few years so he won't be handicapped. He just needs to commit to a direction which is easier said than done.

I was worried that they had a decent run going and then the All Star break. they are terrible after the All Star break almost as if they forgot how to play. Kutter and Houck both off their game and nothing but scrambling because of it. Very disappointing. Its getting dicey if they are buying or selling. i am leaning toward buying still, but this was deflating again after the damn All Star game.

James Paxton was DFA'd. Would make for a nice 6th man.

If the ump did his job our bullpen is in better shape and we win in 9

Hot take: these last 4 games have been a gut punch, but they haven’t been blowouts. Sure, there have been many missed opportunities offensively, but the team still has been scrappy. I still think this is a team worth investing in come the deadline. Just need reinforcements and games like the last 4 become completely winnable affairs.
