This is a game the Sox should 100% have lost or at least have it be super close. Luckily the Indians just can't hit.

The Indians are fouling off a ton of pitches

Lol Grandal did buy that one

Grandal brutal tonight.

Reyes loves to go the other way. Bust him in?

VAUGHN!

GRANDAL COME ON

Crochet makes me so much more nervous this year.

We're lucky Cleveland can't hit.

He's trying to pull everything into the zone so hard it makes him miss some catches.

When Engel comes back I think it should happen. Give Engel a chance to start with Hamilton backing up for a bit.

Luis Robert has so many ways to get on base man. He's gonna be something.

Carlos didn't deserve that inning, and now he's probably out of the game. They have to clean these defensive issues up - LaRussa has a reputation for thoroughness and consistency, so maybe we just have sloppy players.

That slider man.

From what I've seen he's not usually predictable on when he uses the change up, either. He'll throw it in any count. He's either tipping his pitches or Cora is up to his old hi-jinks again.

Abreu having a rough game

Foster just not good this year

Bullpen has blown some leads late, but overall the pitching has been fine. Problem has been the offense - they just don't score a lot - 4.53 runs per game over 15 games, and that includes 12 and 10 runs. Take those >10 run games away and they're averaging 3.54 runs per game in the other 13.

The only reason a ball hit 300 feet 80 mph off the bat wasn't an easy out is because of Fenway.

Fenway is such a shithole

Ok, turning this one off.

Ramirez is really good at staying alive with 2 strikes

Grandal rough behind the plate.

I'm hoping he gets a standard reliever's innings this year, then pitches in AA/AAA as a starter next year to build up innings with a target of 2023 as an MLB starter. I fear he'll be in the bullpen again next year.

Crochet hit the spot and got soft contact but a fastball there was questionable.
