Beckham agrees - the pitch to Semien aside, some of those sliders weren't bad pitches. Every one got hit hard somewhere with 2 strikes.

Also Toronto hitters apparently think everything they don't swing at is a ball.

Toronto is playing like a team that knows it needs to win every game to make the postseason.

The slider to Semien was a hanger. Some of the other ones weren't. They were either sitting on it to the exclusion of all other pitches (which come on Zavala pick up on that), or he was tipping. I'd think Beckham knows the signs of a pitcher tipping as well.

Ok, that wasn't a slight mistake.

It seems like every even slight mistake our bullpen makes is being punished by Toronto. This team can hit man.

That hit Kirk on a bounce. Don't know if I've ever seen that called a HBP.

Good pitch but Gurriel was sitting fastball. Wasn't even a strike.

Thanks for swinging 3-0 Marcus I guess - hey while I have you wanna come play second for the Sox next year?

Maybe they wanted the unintentional intentional walk there, and see if Vlad got himself out, but he's also one of the best hitters in baseball and his dad is the best bad ball hitter maybe ever, so...

15 innings without a run

Not even close there Abreu. Helmet level.

Their bullpen sucks right? Let's get Manoah out of there right here

Check swing on the first pitch groundout to the pitcher. Christ.

Not gonna score, it seems

I mean, either the framing is horrible or the ump sucks

This ump is bad

He did the right thing there. He got a cookie of a slider but missed it.

That call to Eloy was even worse

That call against Robert was horrible

Rays had basically no chances all game, and the one they get they capitalize on big time.

Good job bullpen, once again.

Bummer doesn't have it either

Lucas is dealing

Moncada would've hit that ball even farther if he put any effort into the game. Sad.
