Bottom of this lineup is flatout brutal

Back to back terrific AB's from Cesar and Robert. Need Jose to cash in here.

Manoah lost his fastball command.

Danny Mendick batting is never good 

Need a big hit Pito

 

Pito should have hit that pitch to Ottawa

Just call up Romy to replace Mendick please

That was meat Pito…

He's missing by several feet on a lot of these fastballs. The slider is the pitch he seems most comfortable throwing for strikes.

How in the world did he miss that, 3-1?

Letting Monoah off the ropes there is brutal. He had nothing for those last 3 hitters.

Huge missed opportunity. Jose missed an absolute hanger on 3-1. 

Bummer missing that hanger.

Same sad stuff

FAIL

Lack of 2 out hitting will make sure we are one and done in playoffs

First pitch of the AB too

Letting too many guys off the hook. Bad approaches by the sox lately

Team just can't get the big hit

Stop hitting high sinkers on the ground. Abreu has done that a ridiculous amount

I think Jose was looking fastball the whole time when he should have been sitting slider given Manoah couldn't throw a competitive pitch with the fastball until the 3-2 pitch.

Aaron never missed a steak. I’m reporting this post as it’s clearly defamatory.

Jose had two big fat hanging sliders belt high up and he couldn't square them up of course. Need to execute on mistake pitches. Getting so tired of on and off again corpseball. Likely going to be another long night. 

Show of hands:

How many think we are definitely losing this series?
