Felt like he did that s%*# on purpose.

Colson fucking sucks

Having an inning like that has been so fitting for these past 2 weeks. Guy on 3rd, nobody out, they don't get him in. Then we boot a routine grounder and give up a lead.

You can't deal with Colson booting routine grounders when he hits like absolute s%*#.

f*** off Colson.

This fucking offense man...man on 3rd nobody out and nobody can do the right thing.

Vargas come on...dude is just not clutch recently.

Maybe save this for after the start.

Looks like that win yesterday didn't do much to help.

Mune honestly looks like Joey Gallo at the end of his career.

2nd half Joe Ryan really sucks huh?

That was a situation we'd get 0 runs in these past 2 weeks. Good to see us actually get a runner in from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

5 pitch first inning...wtf?

That s%*# was in the air for what felt like an eternity. I was expecting it to get caught at the wall because that's just been our luck recently.

Seeing the way the guys reacted after the final out definitely makes me think this took a lot of pressure off them. Hopefully it carries over to tomorrow.

Looking at the statcast for his release point, he's been tinkering with it ever since his 2nd start here. This was where he was at with the Mariners: Since he's gotten to the Sox, he's now dropped his arm angle to 15 degrees and widened his release point (-2.53 feet). The vertical release point hasn't changed much. He's been tinkering with the arm angle from start to start, starting with his start against the Reds. In his start against the Cubs, it got all the way down to 13.5 degrees, but it's been more or less fluctuating around 15 otherwise. I have to think that they're trying to alter his arm angle and release point to get a better shape to his slider. But it's straight up not working. Way too many of the ones he throws are not competitive. A side effect of the lower arm angle is lower velocity and we've been seeing that pop up in the past 3 starts. He was throwing as low as 90 in today's start. Keep in mind his fastball was averaging 95.3 MPH with the Mariners and the velocity looked pretty good in his first start against Boston. Feels like they were trying to fix Castillo, but now it's basically made him unplayable. His once good velocity is gone and you're not getting anything more out of his breaking or off speed pitches. He could at least somewhat get by on his fastball before, but now that's not there either. I don't know what made the Sox think they can turn around a struggling pitcher better than the Mariners could. After all, our poor pitching development is why we had to trade for a starter in the first place.

The elimination # on MLB.com is at 12. Is that because we currently lead the season series against the Guardians?

Fedde on 3 days rest doesn't sound like a great idea. They used a lot of the bullpen today too.

I'm sure they could have fired him for cause.

You can't keep throwing him out there. They fucked with his mechanics and he's completely broken.

If this win can't get this team right, nothing will

Holy s%*# did we need that

1 more. Need to be careful with Bernal too. He hit the homer off Taylor.

Walker also kills lefties

Baez absolutely kills lefties. Need to be careful with him.
