Red Sox (Early) vs Reds (Lowder): 3/29/26, 1:40pm

[Maxbialystock]

What's that song?  "I lost my swing in Cincinnati."   1/9 in his last 2 games, both of them very close.  

[Maxbialystock]

What's fascinating about Anthony's last at bat is that they pitched to him, righty vs lefty, when righty bat Story was in the on deck circle.  He struck out twice yesterday and twice today.  

Wong, meanwhile, has a double and a single today.

Meh. That's on Weissert not the manager.  

 

It’s on both. Weissert threw almost 30 pitches yesterday and sucked, bringing him in to face the middle of the Reds order wasn’t the best decision. 

[Jasonbay44]

Duran needs to run here

[Jasonbay44]

Really Duran? You cannot have that happen 

[Maxbialystock]

Duran the saboteur.  

[Jasonbay44]

Abreu is on fire

I'll buy that  

[UtahSox]

Come on Durby!!

[Jasonbay44]

Caleb Durbin has been absolutely horrible this weekend 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Reds-3.  Abreu-2

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta like Durbin's bat. Who needs Bregman?  Or for that matter, what's his name.   Devers.  

Durbin stinks.

He’s just not that good. Very average.

Duran was brain dead.  

[Tedballgame]

Caleb Durbin off to a nice 0-12 start in a great hitters park.

If Durbin is average, MLB is no long watchable.  He also has an error, so after 3 games more errors than hits.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good news: Sox only down by one.

Bad News: Abreu probably won't bat again.

[UtahSox]

Come on Yoshida. Put on that Japan jersey. Please

Pitch counts are the worst thing that ever happened to baseball. If this was the 70's, Early would have stayed in the game and the Red Sox would be victorious today

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does monty play 3rd?

[Tedballgame]

Can Roman come through?

[Tedballgame]

Can Story come through?

[Tedballgame]

Nope. Game over.

I mean 2 F***ing runs ain’t good enough. 

[Tedballgame]

Cora not starting Duran on a 3-2 count and staying out of a DP in the 6th was a huge bone headed mistake. Sox would have been up 3-0.

I didn’t like the signing. They should have spent money on a better hitter-like E Suarez

It was over when I called it-right after Suarez’ hr.

Oh stop it.  This was his first start of the season and he threw 96 pitches.  Weissert went in to pitch to righty hitters, walked one, and gave up a 3 run dinger to the next one.

Thanks for recapping the horror I already knew. If this was years ago Early would have finished the inning. Teams never lost games in the old days the way the Sox lost today. The height of stupidity just like all the analytics are.

Sox had their opportunities after the dinger.  Abreu's hot and no one else is.  OPS's are Anthony .746, Story .438, Duran .629, Contreras .540, Durbin .077, Yoshida .600, Mayer .889 (which is actually good), and Rafaela .600.  

Pitching was pretty good in games 1 and 3.  

Michigan just pulverized Tennessee 95-63.
