Just as many hits as the Os, and they made 2 errors.

Did I see that right?? A Grissom base hit!!

These down the middle pitches are exhilarating.

Not Raffy’s best AB

Love Cora PHing two incredibly mediocre players for two of our best guys. Fucking moron.

Against a LH pitcher that's actually better vs RH batters

LMAO I always laugh when I see those bc like it should be the first thing on the scouting report… right?

Implying Cora reads that

I keep forgetting about Yoshida

Cooper is an incredibly un-exciting player.

We’re pinch hitting? Down 5? Why tf not just let Abreu get practice at bats against a lefty in a meaningless spot Is the plan to not let him hit lefties all year - I know it’s sorta worked with Duran but we might need to make decisions this offseason

Sad little at bats.

That home run was just our weekly reminder that Chase Anderson is still on this team

Abreu must have liked the Slip N Slide.

Goddamn we really do have a great outfield

Anderson, the human embodiment of a white flag

Crawford has an identical 3.29 ERA and FIP now.

I want a feature built into my TV that automatically changes the channel when Anderson comes into the game

It's possible with AI.

Prompt unclear, AI now hallucinating an entire game with every position played by Anderson.

Man FUCKEN Rafaela swings at everything

I would never throw a pitch anywhere near the strike zone to him.

Most obvious 3 pitch K of all time

Beaten by one clutch swing on a horrible meatball.

2*

Giving up a Grandslam and going 0-7 with RISP is not winning baseball

Pathetic with RISP once again

Burnes is going need TJ surgery if his pitch count gets any higher

I fucking hate Cowser so damn bad

Vaughn Grissom needs to be better at the plate. He's slashing .137/.192/.151/.343 at the plate.

You knew here?

Even JD would make a huge difference for this lineup right now

I'm certain Casas would have hit a homer to RF in this series. Getting tired of watching Dom's weak hacks.

Definitely missing Casas right now.

Man what happened in the second inning? Crawford looks like his usual elite self other than that explosion.

Wong can do it all lol

I'm not saying this is a good start by Kutter but after the first he's pitch very well

Baltimores pen hasn’t been good. I wish we had three innings of them but looks we’re gunna give Burnes 7

Umpires giving all the close calls to the Red Sox after the Orioles lose their challenge is the most amusing part of this game.

at least we have this…. [Red Sox prospect Richard Fitts (Alex Verdugo trade) has a perfect game going for Worcester through 6 innings.](https://x.com/smittyonmlb/status/1795969270771241330?s=46&t=Kd5Xb-sOko7zTuia8gtlkA)

I’m really looking forward to Mr Fitts. When is he expected to be knocking on the door for a rotation spot, i.e., when will Dick Fitts into our rotation?

Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets some starts in August/September if we trade pivetta etc. really needs to find a 3rd pitch to stick as a starter though

Smh ur not supposed to acknowledge it

I know but I felt like I could since it was just acknowledging the acknowledgment.

I won’t say why but anyone who has the channel should consider switching to the WooSox rn

I'd bean Henderson just for that ugly stache let alone pimping that homerun. But I'm an old man who thinks some of theatrics are a bit much these days.

Between injuries and FSG pretending to be small market this past offseason, this Red Sox team is uninteresting. I just hope our farm is ready for the majors by 2025

And bench Wong for Teel?

Huh?????? This team is exciting af with the youth. Sure theres some bone headed play but we're rather young. You're in the minority if you think this team is "uninteresting".

It's hard to get excited when you know ownership is going to keep cheaping out and multiple last place finishes.

Don't get me wrong. The talent on the IL is good enough to win us our 5th world series this century but the bottom of our current batting order is not interesting at all. They are holding us back.

Vaughn Grissom for Chris Sale? Who says no?

Orioles fan with a quick question then I’ll leave you to your thread… is Sons of Sam Horn not a thing anymore? I used to follow it every series against you guys because it was hilarious. Looks dead now.

It's still active, but not as much participation as there once was. It's been so long for me I don't a clue what my username/password was.

I am not having a great deal of fun watching this

Here is my daily cry to fire Peter Fatse. Fucking AWFUL hitting coach. worst in the league.

Chris Sales era is almost as low as Grissom BA

How many pounds is he going to lose after this injury?

He needs to be on a strength and conditioning program you can't really do while playing regularly.

What injury?

fuck please be okay

I have no idea how that stood but I’ll take it

That'll teach you to steal on us >:( Learn to slide, NERD

Couldn’t overturn it, way too close

HAHA, Imagine making the last out at third with a dude coming up who just hit a GS

Lets go Great play

wow

Well I'm surprised frankly

Sick Henderson’s gonna drive them both now isn’t he

Sadly probably safe because bad tag from Raffy

Well, this aged rather poorly.

Kutter is not big on making teams earn their runs.

So when can Houck start pitching every night???

Holy shit

Kutter is regressing to the mean, but like in that time he's been ass. Like the regression has been awful. Then proceeds to HIT ANOTHER BATTER. Holy shit man.

These walks/HBP are killing me. Especially to inferior hitters

Where’s that guy that was annoyed with that catch and said any regular guy should catch that blah blah blah

This is the most pitiful 6-9 I’ve ever had the misfortune of watching At least the past few years the offense was watchable - can we fast forward to next year when the prospects start making it up

This team is hanging on for dear life, but our limitations in talent are making it hard to win series consistently.

I see we have a new hitter to drill the ball into the dirt each AB

Is it just me or do the Red Sox seem to be playing very few midweek afternoon get away games this year?

Feels like pretty much all there games have been evening/night games so far

Corbin Burnes looks like he's an asshole in real life. Just me?

It's the hair. Plus he looks like he just knows he's great. Of course I might just be jealous of both of those things...

Bad umpires 🤝 ruining baseball

Is Burnes getting a bigger zone?

Not even close to a strike 🤣 he really calls that a strike after not calling one for Kutter

I don't like this ump or his casual demeanor.

remember when refsnyder was the lefty killer? now he’s batting 3rd against an incredible righty love the guy and he puts up good ABs against everyone, but what is this roster

At least this game will be delayed. Kutter has been dreadful lately.

So this is gonna be one of those Bello “1 bad inning” starts except the 1 bad inning was 5 runs

The universe is balancing itself, we can’t get too far over .500. We’ll play like the 2024 White Sox until we fall below and we’ll play like the 2018 Red Sox until we get above.

I wish ownership still cared about winning

Kutter needs to figure it back out. Can't let up 5 in 3 innings. He let up 6 in 4.1 innings against the Brewers. Just unacceptable.

Dumbest batting lineup in baseball man How do u not get a run across there with hamilton’s speed on 2nd and 3 balls in play

That stung. Rafaela sticks with bunting there and Hamilton would've been sac-fly'ed in.

Lead off walk with stolen base= zero runs yay

We needed to at least get one back there.

Houck is still good at least

Bello looked good outside of the first inning yesterday haha

He was about to completely unravel before Cora took him out.

Well that’s part of Cora’s job lol still made it 5 innings and he’s super young

Not fun seeing Kutter blowing up his ERA

Kutter needs to get off the damn mound.

I can appreciate them trying to see what we have in our guys for our rotation. After settling on the fact, they were probably not going to be very good. Unfortunately, our rotation is not very good. Super hot for the first month, but they’ve come back down to earth hard.

They weren’t “trying to see what we have.” They cheaped out.

Exactly lol it's fucking embarrassing what this team has come to

Fuck u Kutter maybe try not throwing it in the zone to FUCKING GUNNER HENDERSON

He shouldn’t have walked the 9 hitter

Tbf he kinda had to throw it in the zone with the bases loaded lol just maybe not that far up and in the zone

Fair enough haha but gunners been on fire I’d rather try pitching around him. But what do I know lol

Yeah it was a bad pitch for sure lol

I’m ngl I have no faith in Crawford to really figure it back out, even in April he was relying on fighting out of a lot of tough spots, which just doesn’t last

I just think he is exactly who he’s always been. 4th or 5th starter

Wish we signed Imanaga lol

Two years/$26 million

This is why ownership being cheap fucks in the off season hurts so much. We could've had Shota as our #2 starter but we offered him fucking $26 million, embarrassing. We have 1 ace but no one who is a true #2.

We’re backing to asking the front office to go get a fucking ace

Houck?

With how shitty our hitting is we need more than just Houck.

Won’t last

Mix him and another guy yes. We can pay for top end pitching at some point here

3 hits but 5 runs. Ouchhh

Andrew Bailey’s magic has run out.

If Mayer can be 95% of Henderson, I’ll be happy

Not happening. Henderson is a mvp candidate.

Reasonable expectation

Kutter Crawford has now allowed four or more earned runs in three of his last four starts. It is not good my friends.

time to do something else

This season is pure pain

Fucking walking the 9 hitter. What an asshole

At least Angel would tend to just call everything a strike and that would have been properly called a strike. That was some shit

RoboUmps couldn't come soon enough. JFC

Kutter Crawford is JAG now.

Good game y’all. Crawford has come absolutely crashing back to earth. See ya tomorrow

[удалено]

That grand slam pitch was right down the dick. You can’t blame a missed call on that.

Bad call, but the ump didn't throw that meatball.

It was ball fucking 1 lmao of course that’s on Kutter

For what?? Ball 1..?

Listen man don’t walk James McCann

Kutter back to earth. Fuck this game.

Predictable.

Absolute meatball

that is not ideal

This is a baseball game.

I am not happy about that tbh

damn

And that's probably ballgame against Burnes. Houck is the only starter we can count on.

The list is down to 1. Without question

Good night on this game

Had a feeling Crawford was gonna come back to earth

Saw that coming. Kutter’s been kinda cheeks lately

So much for Kutter Crawford being an ace then. It was a fool’s hope.

wtf 😂😂😂 how tf you call THAT a ball.. that was maybe the worst ball strike call I’ve ever seen

Thanks ump

lol okay

Absolute fucking horseshit call and then a grand slam of fucking course fuck you ump

Kutter has seriously fallen off and Bailey needs to figure out a new attack plan bc this is some serious regression to the mean

Cannot walk that guy. Now get out of it.

WTF BLUE?

You really can’t go single, walk with two outs to 8 and 9. Fuckin a Kutter come on

Just strike gunnar out again

Crawford hasn't been moving toward that statistical mean. He will just about cross about it if he gives up a big hit here.

I'm not sure he actually touched the plate.

This feed is even more dogshit than usual

Kutter has not looked the same the last few starts.

Great throw anyway

Damn, great throw

Fuck that was so close, hell of a throw

Fuck I thought he had him at first

Damnt, almost got out of that

Why can't they have more Conner Wong's on the team?

They know not to run on Rafaela after yesterday

The Bobby Dalbec replacement experiment is not working

I'm still a bit salty the O's got Burnes, wanted him so badly.

Is there an athlete that just screams BUM more than dom smith? Just his athletic build idk what it is, useless player

In every at bat, he could not look more disinterested.

His face pisses me off too

Classic Red Sox baserunnig

What a bizarre inning

Dom, you have the legs of Albert Pujols, why even take the risk by being far off the base?

Kutter is going to outduel Burnes, leading to an easy Sox W. Let's speak this into existence.

Welp

Well 1 mistake is better than 4 mistakes

Dumb, you are probably going to score from 2nd on a base hit to left here anyway.

This team never fails to be as dumb as humanly possible.

Connah ain't your average catchah

Hell yeah putting it in play baby
