Sox need to score. Need to have competitive at bats. I think this next half inning will tell us whether or not they are ready to win. All you need his a bloop and a blast or a walk and a whomp to get right back in the game.

did anyone else see the Astros offense with RISP and 2 outs? 7 for 16 with 10 RBI... 

Cause they shorten their swing. We wanna hit it to madison

I didn't think it was over at 5-1 Sunday but I do think it's over at 5-1 today. Can't really explain why other than not feeling the energy today.

Gonna be harder to come back vs McCullers, but Sox offense needs to wake up

If you think the season is over - get the fuck out of here and go start another thread. LETS GO SOX!!!!

Just now, chw42 said:

Yeah 5-1 feels like game over against him.

Yup

Pitch selection has been so bad today. 0-2 fastball to Correra, 3-0 fastball to Bregman

This is correct, and should give the Sox serious concern heading into the offseason that a lot of work needs to be done to get to the next level. 

Back to back first round exits start shouldn't be accepted. 

You know I’ve said this, but enough with trying to find the perfect fit and just go get a star or two.

If Grandal attempts a throw to second base on the Tucker steal, the inning is over and still a 2-1 game. 

Anderson was late to cover which is why he pumped faked. I'm not sure wtf he was doing

Showing up small again.

we want to hit it to madison but hit the singles instead, show power and Menechino gets upset.

He's ice cold after sitting on the bench for 30 minutes,

McCullers already at 50 pitches, so our demise is definitely premature.  But our offense needs to walk up right now.

I still think Sox can come back in this game but it will only extend the inevitable, we ain't beating this team in HOU

Actually I do not think they will come back this game but if they did, they would win the series. 

I said yesterday that they were going to put a five spot up and chase McCullers early.  This is the inning boys.  Show the pitching staff how to answer back.

And becoming a two pitch pitcher

Like I said we need an everyday RF and a 2b and it looks like maybe another bullpen arm.

Also, a single starting pitcher that can be remotely effective against a good lineup

Oh look, mediocre 95 mph fastball by Crochet.  What a fucking joke 

AJ called for Crochet to walk Bregman to get to the lefty Alvarez particularly when the count got to 3-0.  Bad pitching selection probably cost us 3 runs. You don’t throw a fastball strike to Bregman on 3-0.  Then strikeout Alvarez to prove their strategy was wrong.  We are getting beat with fastballs with pitchers with a nasty slider. You figure.

Then that's totally stupid. Were built for power

Hang in there Yaz

they get nonstop fastballs and Sox get nonstop breaking balls.

He finally hit it

The whole offense needs to revamp their collective approach.  Filling holes only goes so far.

We need a blast
