5/31 Sox @ NY

He did. But for the love of God, where is the fire in this team? They mope through an inning at a time, and just seem indifferent. Whatever happens happens. Cora needs to take some heat for this, and he will.

 

It's John Farrell, the sequel.

Once Nunez was caught, the life on the team just died out. Then the Sox had to face our pen, which isn’t easy. German tomorrow, who has scuffled in his last two starts. Once again, if you guys don’t beat him, you’re going through the teeth of our team in the later innings.

Cora needs to take some blame for the way this team has basically quit. They seemed like they don’t care. Just going through the motions.

It was at the top of the zone on the monitor

 

Was it called a strike all day? That is the question. Until robot umps the computer zone is meaningless in the later innings. The ump just needs to remain consistent...

Also...WTF Cora. No reason for nunez to be in this game.

It was actually. Sale got some high strikes

The Sox didn't lose because of the umpires, but because Happ was a better pitcher than Sale last night. Or the Yankee hitters were better. Take your pick.

 

Nunez getting picked off 2B was incredibly stupid, but hardly the signature play of the game. Nosiree. I think there was however a signature stat, the ever-popular RISP with which we usually, after a loss, like to hammer the Sox. Last night the Sox were 0 for 1 with RISP, which to me speaks volumes about the effectiveness of Happ on the mound.

 

Last night was so simple. We saw exactly why one team is headed toward 106 or more wins and the other team is fighting to stay above .500. And, not to put to fine a point on it, last night the Sox were going with their ace, the redoubtable Chris Sale, who in fact got 10 K's.

It came down to the offense sucking ass as usual against this team. Simple as that. Beyond frustrating.
