Bello is looking like the Houck of old. He looks good through the first 2 ABs vs a line-up, then BAM!

Interesting to watch Kopech K the Red Sox 2 young estrellas , Rafaela and Duran with the bases loaded in the 9th. Would not have mattered had either hit a GS because they were down by 5. Can you call tomorrow a must win ? Mostly because next will will include multiple "must loses"

Cora needs to go . Embarrassing..

You may have missed the blow-up by the immature thrower on the mound in the 5th when he gave up 5 runs, 4 after 2 outs. Cora did not have much to do with this one , having been tossed when his guy took strike 3 , in lieu of the walk he was wishing for

His recent stats over the past 5 starts are not encouraging , shows little advancement towards being a pitcher.

Literally 50% K's over past two games (27 K's), 0-10 RISP today . You can only hide this lineup for so long. Actually to only be 1 game under with this dog pile is doing well. Edited June 9, 2024 by vegasbob

We knew the lineup was weak in April and if anything, injuries have made it weaker.

How do you lose 2 games to the White Sox?

1 game sure but 2!?

Went to Target to buy socks. I asked myself do I want terrible socks or mediocre socks? I went with the mediocre ones, but they still could end up terrible.

 

That’s fine as long as you have 6 years of control of those socks.

Games like this are a real kick in the you-know-what.

 

When Bobby Dee accounts for your only run, you know your offense is having a bad day.

When you play a team can matter a lot. I said in Thursday’s game thread this series scares me. A team that has lost as many in a row as the Pale Hose had can be dangerous when breaks start to go their way, and sooner or later they will. They benefited today from some fortuitous ball-strike calls both on the mound and at the plate; they took advantage of those breaks.

I am not betting against it.

What no stat padding yesterday? Against a MINOR League meatball pitcher no less who had an ERA of almost 10 before the game.🤫
