1-2 and what happens? Three terrible pitches nowhere close to the zone. Occurrence #735 this series.

So easy. Just have to stand there while we throw garbage.

Maldy is a 9 hole hitter. I don't give a **** still. Yeah, he's bad. But he's not the problem. Looking at the top of our lineup giving garbage ABs instead, zero momentum


You better when their 8-9 hole hitters are hitting very well.

Pull him.

Yep. Possible this is his last batter regardless. Raley to face Schwarber.

Lead off walk to the 8 hitter is not ideal.

Is Boston 95% white males? This crowd demo is something.

I just don't get the love on this thread for Maldonado. I've been a Maldonado critic all along. No defensive advantage is worth the liability he is at the plate. It's a YUGE liability.

All of Maldonados great play behind the plate is not stopping the Red Sox from bending our pitchers over and he hits like a relief pitcher.

It's time for Castro


Exactly. Some of the decisions on pitches he's called have left me wondering if he read the scouting report.

Wish we still had Evan Gattis. At least when he had bad games he still looked like a mean cave man.

So, we now stand at 4 free bases (3 walks, 1 error) and 3 outs recorded.

Heck, this is an improvement from the last 2 games.

Starters yanked in the 2nd inning. That's good right?

It's absolutely incredible how difficult our starting pitching is making everything look. Our bullpen has (mostly been fine). But every at bat is like 8 pitches. Feels like half end in walks. Just unable to hit the strike zone at all. This lineup is hot, but we're giving them all sorts of free bases and hitters counts.

ZG was never going to go over 40 pitches. He's not stretched out.

Feels like what rookie pitchers pitching to an All Star team would feel like.

As rough as it is to see a starter yanked this early, I think it's our best chance. Don't let their hitters settle in. Give them a bunch of different looks.

It's not like Greinke "has it" tonight anyway.

Even when we were losing 100 games a year our starters still got through 3 innings. Never seen this kind of pitching collapse.

given how he was pitching, yes. The question is will the pen be any better?
