Meidroth brings that good California vibe to the team.

He made the Red Sox regret his trade.

No way would he do it on purpose and embarrass himself and the team, and on the first inning. He could have just indicated to the catcher to go to the mound to talk to Schultz, and buy time.

With Romo in the lineup we are playing with 8 hitters. He is the closest to an automatic out in MLB.

Chase has been our best hitter the last few games.

Colson needs to be moved down in the lineup, away from clean up spot. He is striking out too much swinging out of the zone, and stopping possible rally’s.

Doesn’t help that Venable shows no energy and looks like a zombie in the dugout.

Then Will should start Antonacci against this lefty.

We need the big 3 to start hitting homers more frequently again.

I have never seen that happening before, in decades of playing and watching baseball. Will is getting worse by the day.

I also wonder if Will was willing to useFedde, why he did not bring him in to close the game on the 10th?

Venable was a good manager for the old Sox 100 + loss team, but is too flawed for a contending first place team. IMO.

We could compete if we had Cease, Crochet and Sale back. We don’t have the pitching or the manager to compete with Boston.

Not pointless, he could score with passed ball or wild pitch.

There should not be a place for baseball friendship nepotism.

Yes. However the wild pitch hurt.

This is not the first time that this 3rd base coach has sent runners in on hopeless situations. He needs to be replaced.

I agree , at least replace him. Sending Montgomery in with short Fenway left field was not wise with just one out. We would have had the bases loaded with one out.

Like OZzie said yesterday: “Who is this guy Drew Romo? He is not good.”

Murphy should have been in at the beginning of the inning as Richard’s was ineffective. But Will went with the book again, As he did not want a lefty facing right handed hitters. But the lefty was fresher and RICHARDS was cooked. IMO.

Don’t we have anyone else available? Could have used Seranthony….this time.

We got it but Vargas speed saved the play.

We better score a crooked number if we want to win.

The first walk scored and tied the game. Relievers that walk people on game situations are not good, like Ozzie would say.

No lead is ever safe at Fenway and even more so with Manfred ball.
