Taylor has got to do better than this. These implosions happen way too often.

Eisert has no business pitching in the late innings.
Newcomb was terrible too, but he's usually good.

Anyway, team's not a finished product - no surprise.

Eisert sucks I’ll give you that, but Taylor is fucking incredible and one bad inning doesn’t change that. Nothing about tonight screams unfinished product.

What a ridiculously stupid hard flex. Going .500 when you played five of the best teams in baseball is fucking phenomenal. I get you’re scarred from being a Sox fan post 2005, but let’s try to have an ounce of objectivity here.

It was phenominal, I said it at the time actually. And and the same time I said they havent played great baseball recently, which I stand by. Its actually possible to enjoy the season (which I have been immensely) and still be able to recognize this isnt a great team and they will be fortunate to win the division, but still can. Its not rocket science.

6 runs allowed in last three appearances against CLE...not good. That's just one week.

Fastball too straight and gets in trouble when not getting curve over the plate and falling behind in counts.

They’ve also limited his arsenal

Today's game sucked

I know Dominguez didn't pitch today or yesterday, but damn that is an epic fail to sign a guy to be your closer and he isn't used at any point in a pretty important game. Just damn.

As inconsistent as he is, using Eisert over him was completely mind boggling.

And the numbers have shown that outside of the 9th inning, Seranthony has been good, right?

Taylor starting to be a issue also

Yep, this is the most unpredictable Sox team I think of my lifetime. They could go on to win the AL Central or win 33 pct of their remaining games, and I don’t think either would be truly shocking. I trust the offense, but the pitching seems to be a weak spot going forward.

Not sure there is any sample size given they haven't had a losing streak of 4 games that says they'll only win 33% of their remaining games. After the braves, they have been the most consistent team in baseball

Flush it - get em back tomorrow.

If you want to make decisions based on a statistical anomaly.

There was a lefty and switch hitter coming up but Fry being PH was pretty darned obvious.
