  1. Our pitching really fell off a cliff since the break we may genuinely need to score 10 a game to win

    At least Kansas lost

  2. I mean Kutter and Houck have to do something. Literally anything. They are objectively killing this team putting us in bad spots repeatedly over the second half.

  3. Was anyone confused as me with this Ranger pitcher (Yates) as he looked like he did this weird spin shit and then clock was reset like it wasn’t an issue? Never seen that shit before.

  4. Wasting a 2 HR Refsnyder game 🙁

    A good thing for tomorrow is they won’t have Robertson or Yates

  5. We had so many opportunities to score runs, no one wanted to deliver a key hit tonight.

  6. Houck might not be able to handle a starters workload, but idk if the Sox are ready to have that conversation.

  7. The offense is going to have bad games. Even then, they put up 4 and had chances to put up much more. The pitching is just not doing their part. They blow leads any chance they get and give up 7 plus runs every game. Opposing teams know they’re gonna get their knocks. Its not just the star players with the big hits and the bombs, its the bottom of the order guys too. Our pitchers are fooling no one.

    Tanner had a 3 run cushion and had his stuff working, yet he still couldn’t hold the lead. And Bernadino is about as useless as anyone else not name Sims or Garcia. Lets be honest, we don’t have the pitching to last in the playoffs. I doubt we’ll even get through the next few weeks of this brutal schedule without falling far back in the wc.

  8. The last (and only) time Houck lost 3 in a row this season, the Sox won his next 7 starts… that’d be a cool thing to replicate
