Wander I understand, but Phillips is a fourth outfielder at best

Not many reliable guys in the pen at the moment.

Losing Crochet really hurts. When Kelly is back, it'll be better. But we gotta live with this for now.

Splits become irrelevant when you can't get outs.

I'm not advocating for putting Engel in CF but I think he gets that one.

Engel isn't as good defensively as Robert. Engel is a good defender, Robert is elite. Engel is really overrated by sox fans. 

It would have been peak Bummer if that ball fell in to give up the lead

nice job by him to battle back

After a few cookies. 

I fully expected that check swing bloop to fall in for a hit.

I thought that was his 3rd hitter.

BUmmer pitched to 3 in the 6th. Even if he didn't once the inning is over the pitcher doesn't have to come back the following inning no matter how many he faced in the previous inning.

Good recovery Bummer

6 more outs. Graveman to Hendricks 

Glad bummer got out without more damage, but ugh this pen feels scary so far 

nm TLR a genius!

I think Engel is much better around the wall, but Robert is a better defensive player overall. In that specific instance, Engel would have been more likely to make the catch than Robert.

Wait.... 3B are allowed to make that catch without hobbling off the field like they pulled 3 different muscles?? ?

People on soxtalk treat him as a lumbering DH, but Jake can play 3rd. He has quick feet and good hands.

What tells you that.

He doesn't believe in himself....how the fuck you believe in him .....

 

I'll argue all day he throws the slider too much now and it takes away from his sinker command, but honestly bummer has had some terrible luck for over a year now and I just think that'll revert sooner than later. 

Good on Bummer to battle back.  I still think it was a bad decision to leave him in.  That could have been disastrous.

I soooo badly want this guy to be great.

His stuff is great but HE doesn't trust it at times
