Good bunt. Now to strand Hanser at third!

Or maybe…

Just walk Buxton

The Rays did a good enough job exposing this team but I would love to see more teams just completely disrespect the Sox and dare them to do anything.

And here comes the STUDS in this bullpen

Would be nice to have a bottom of the lineup worth a damn

I think giving a homer up to Nick Gordon should be an instant DFA

I’ll take this from Kopech any day. Offense needs to score.

Looks like 3 runs in 8 innings to me. Watching to see if AZ fixes him - strike against Katz if so.

Alright, we're looking at: Burger/Alberto 3B TA/Andrus SS Andrus/Alberto 2B Vaughn/Sheets 1B Grandal/Zavala C Benintendi LF Robert CF Eloy/Sheets RF, at least until Eloy is hurt, then Colas probably back up. Hamilton/Haseley backup OF Eloy/Sheets/Burger/Grandal DH

I'm interested to see how mediocre to bad relievers perform after leaving the Sox. I'm starting to feel that Katz is really bad at bullpen management, but the last question I have is if its a talent issue (Hahn's fault) or if these guys go elsewhere and succeed, it's likely poor preparation and management (Katz's fault).

Getting Anderson and Moncada back will help. Hendriks will really help, but I'm not convinced this bullpen will ever be anything but bottom 5 in the league. That'll kill any momentum the team can muster - just look at how many times the bullpen gave up a lead or put a game out of reach during this losing streak. It's criminal to have this bad of a bullpen for $10+ million more than they'd have spent per year to have Harper roaming RF for the next 10 years.

Hahaha holy s%*# a 9 run inning. Unbelievable.

This pitching staff is just unbelievably bad.

This team is cursed

Colas pinch hitting for Robert

Wait the Sox scored before the other team? Is that allowed?

Benintendi got himself out there. All pitches on the margin, which had been called balls this inning

Can’t wait for TA

Dang they keep matching the Sox run for run

They’re also 20-5 and just saw Cease like 4 games ago

The Sox suck right now but man TB is in another world so far. That was a great at bat.

Oh my god a run!

Moncada has a herniated disc that's impinging on a nerve in his back. That's a bad injury. No clue when he'll be back.

I'm at the point where I can't even watch games. I'll check in if they get a couple base runners and that's about it. I mostly watch other teams to get my baseball fix. The last time this happened was the early stages of the rebuild, but at that point there was at least hope.
