Can we get a new manager?

What's Dusty supposed to do when the starters are setting it on a tee for the opposing hitters?

They are literally extending batting practice.

Can we make them pay for a walk?

no.. why would we do that

The answer is no.

I can't believe the Red Sox did this to the Rays pitching too…

How did they walk the leadoff batter and we not get 4 for it?

Being down 2-1 in this series feels insurmountable.

Freaking need the top do the order to have some good ABs.

Need a starter to actually go 3 innings.

---

They need to flip Tucker and Gurriel with Brantley and Bregman we need more ABs for the guys hitting.

That's like the 75th at bat in a row where Alvarez watches fastballs over the plate and then swings at breaking stuff down.

I don't understand.

It does seem like his plate discipline has diminished a little since his rookie season. My hope is that as he continues to develop as a major leaguer it comes back.

Can Maton go 5 more outs?

See what kind of fight this team has tomorrow in a must win.

Yep Maton should get the 8th now.

I feel a 9 run rally coming on!

Equal odds we lose in 5 or win in 6

We can still win the series but the mountain just got insanely higher after this game

Really pitiful showing from the team the last 16 innings and it's really inexcusable

It can happen, but someone other than Correa or Tucker need to step up... They need smart at bats and someone to not allow the team to lose.

No it doesn't.

Sure is if umps keep calling strikes, balls, altuve keeps fielding like an eight year old, and our starting pitchers can't get past 3 innings. 3 grand slams in 2 games is a problem.

The second half of the game, the Ref Six have showed signs of cooling off.

Hopefully that carries over to tomorrow.

It's only 1-2.

Take the L and move on. Tomorrow is another day, and anything can happen in the post season.

Red Sox have gotten very lucky ABs, the luck can easily turn...and if you remove just 2-3 blowout innings their lineup hasn't done a whole lot. If our starters had more composure in those innings it could have turned out differently.

We came back last year being down worse, even if we didn't go on to progress.

It was an uphill battle regardless when we lost our ace

Another DP.

Not sure I would say the Red Sox have been lucky. They've absolutely crushed us.

Write this one off. Fight another day.

It wasn't in the cards today. Get the game tomorrow.

The white Sox pitching staff was a lot better than Boston's and we LIT them up.

Crushed us in a few blowout innings where our starters couldnt lock it down.

Whoever wins the series will be the one to make the necessary adjustments.

I wonder if we'll get through the 1st inning without allowing a granny, tomorrow. Or if a pitcher can start and last at least 3 innings.

Boston has got all the breaks. Our starting pitchers have been garbage. Boston is set to cool off. Baseball is cyclical. I expect the Astros to beat the hell out of them tomorrow.
