What are they with RISP tonight, like 0-10? Need a flare here

Did Anderson ever seen an offspeed pitch in the minors? He's missing these pitches by an insane amount.

Did Robin really think he could make contact against Kimbrel?

One time it makes sense to bunt and he's not....ha

Real nice approach by Shuck. Here comes the bunt

I approve of a bunt here

So, there's like a 75% chance that Anderson strikes out vs Kimbrel, right? Quite the challenge for him here.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 02:10 AM) El Duke A How long were you thinking of how to spell that during the last AB? After the 2nd strike, thought definitely crossed my mind about how it would be spelled.

Holy cow, Duke was Duque-esque. Maybe that will be the catalyst?!

What a play by Avila

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 02:04 AM) Why should we fire Robin? Did Robin make Putnam walk the bases loaded? Did he make Robertson incapable of completing an inning yesterday? Said he make Shields historically s***ty? Robin isn't perfect, but he is not the reason this team sucks. One of the main responsibilities of the manager is to do his best to help his team avoid falling apart after heartbreaking losses. Quite predictably, this team completely collapsed after the 8th inning nightmare vs the Rangers.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) Frazier afraid of going into the seats. A month ago he would have gave it ago. Was a smart move by him. If he dives in, he's out of play and runner can automatically tag.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 01:58 AM) I actually feel sorry for Robin more than despise him. He has to watch this crap every night. He is making a ton of money as well to watch one of the most dysfunctional teams in modern Sox history. Find a way to lose, this team will lose. Yeah, don't feel bad at all for him. He's just not a good manager. Should have never taken the job if he had doubts.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 01:58 AM) I despise the owner, front office and scouts. It's hard to think of anyone in this organization that deserves to keep their job. Maybe the new scouting director, as at least he hasn't shown to be horrible at his job yet. Besides that, this organization is easily one of the worst in baseball.

I despise this team. LaRoche is lucky to not have to be around for this.

This is amazing they left him in after two walks. Guess Danish being demoted lost us Robin's most trusted guy.

Why in the hell would you go with a slide-step on 3-2 pitch? Holy cow is this team freaking stupid.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 02:50 AM) I think the most damning statistic heard today was losing 17 of their last 22 games against the AL Central. 0-9 vs your 3 main divisional rivals on the road is incredible

Same pitch has been called a strike a few times for Boston. oh well, another walk by a reliever.

Avila is now 3-26 with RISP on the year and 1-15 with RISP w/2 outs.

Such a great article. Hahn honestly might be the biggest issue that needs to be solved in the whole organization. Hard to be worse than he's been the last two seasons.

After they lose this in heartbreaking fashion, don't worry....no changes will take place.

Avila has struggled all year hitting anything slow. He had no chance tonight, absolutely ridiculous that he got to bat there.

Rather see Saladino than Avila here

These guys press so much with RISP. That at bat ruined by a bogus first pitch strike.
