Just a pathetic effort today.

I agree. You definitely don't turn an 0-2 count into an HBP and then fire a wild pitch to let him get to 2nd. He allowed that bullshit grounder to beat him. But at the same time, the first baseman needs to at least stop that ball from rolling into the OF.

We give Jose one day off and the defense goes to complete shit lol

That ball was a routine ground ball to first base. Kimbrel needs to be better but our defense absolutely screwed us today.

How does Sheets not stop that ball? Holy crap that's bad.

And that's exactly what happened

Went from 0-2 on the guy to having a bullshit hit possibly beat you. Ugh.

Jesus Christ Kimbrel. I've seen this episode before.

How the hell are Kimbrel's numbers so good vs. lefties? All I've seen him do with the Sox against lefties is either hit them or give up lasers on fastballs.

HBP on 0-2

Well if it was over his head it was a homer anyways lol

Wow Schoop was so late on that.

Who the hell decides positioning? Is Reyes that big of a power threat?

Was Eloy playing on the warning track for Victor Reyes?

If he can't straighten it out in the next 2 weeks you can't even let him pitch the 8th in a playoff game.

Kimbrel doesn't have it again.

We'd still be leading if Cesar Hernandez decided to at least play pony league level defense.

Royals doing our job for us. 4-1 Royals in the 6th.

lmao we look like bums against a AAAA pitcher.

Kimbrel has the 8th

I wonder what the money line would be for him allowing the lead off runner to reach.

The Sox have difficulty with all bullpens.

Even in the games where we've scored a lot the runs always come in bunches.

This guy had 8 Ks in 13 innings coming into tonight. WTF are we doing?

What they're doing with this roster is pretty impressive. We've under performed our run differential by 4 wins. They've over performed their run differential by 3 wins. Surely some of that is the manager.
