Red Sox (Giolito) vs Diamondbacks (Pfaadt): 9/6/24, 8:10pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Remember this rag arm has an ERA of 5.33. Similar to E-rod last night.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timely hit by Masa.

[FredLynn]

Giolito doesn’t have it tonight. I smell another blowout.

[d-money]

Handing out so many damn walks. Ridiculous.

[FredLynn]

Great throw by Narvaez!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Narvaez may have hands of stone, but he's got a hell of an arm.

[FredLynn]

Duran Ks on a ball at eye level 

Smh

[FredLynn]

The fact is that even before Anthony and Abreu went down these bums didn’t have enough offense to compete with even decent teams. Now they are totally overmatched. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now that Anthony is out of the lineup there's no Sox player I anticipate coming to the plate. It's just a lot of meh.

[FredLynn]

4-1

Sweep coming tomorrow 

I can’t watch these bums.

Outta here. Enjoy this loss

Unusual for Fred to give up on the Sox like that.

Big WEB GEM by Rafaela. 

[Jasonbay44]

Rafaela with one of the greatest catches I’ve ever seen

Don't lose your glove. I was told that a lot when I played HS baseball.

It should end up in the top 5 defensive plays of the season.

As the immortal Lee Elia once said: “You can’t win a war without guns”. Sox offense is BB guns at best

A totally different pitcher at home vs. on the road.  8-3 in 14 starts at home with a 3.6 ERA; 4-5 in 14 starts on the road with a 7.1 ERA.

12-8 overall W-L says he’s a guy the Dbacks give a lot of run support to.  There’s one on every team just like there’s always one starter who doesn’t.

[Jasonbay44]

WTF. Why did Rafaela call off Duran there? Wtf was that

No idea.  Probably goes back to a similar play a week or so ago.

This team is imploding in all phases of the game.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow. Hell of a catch by Alexander

Thanks for the info, but this Sox offense sux.

He’s still not a good pitcher. Unfortunately we suck worse.

Sweep tomorrow. Lose the As series then limp home.

But this Sox team still may be able to back into the PO's. No excuse to score 2 total runs in 12 innings against two disgustingly bad starters.

[FredLynn]

Basically Story gave the game away early. He doesn’t do that often but he did tonight. 
I called it when the DBacks had runners on 2nd and 3rd and I wrote “winning run on 2B”.

And that’s exactly what happened. We never got a second run

Two things can be true at once.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they choked away the playoffs. Someone wrote that this team is different, that they aren’t like the teams that have flopped. 

That remains to be seen. I can see the resemblance for sure.

If Seattle gets hot, the Sox are done. The injuries have finally caught up with this team. Injuries are part of baseball, but the Sox bring it to another level. More bubble wrap next season.

Alex Bregman appears to have given up offensively.  Greet defensive player but he’s gone to sleep over offensy

He got robbed of a homer and lined out hard in another AB…
