The Beast Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 On 8/24/2022 at 2:29 AM, chw42 said: The Sox just love to get guys on base against the mediocre to bad pitchers, but they won't score much. Cause they choke endlessly with guys on 3rd and less than 2 outs. That's how we usually end up with 3-4 runs on 10+ hits against some guy with a ERA around 5. Expand Not to forget that they don’t hit home runs or get clutch hits like they did last year. Something is different and I can’t put my finger on it.

Tip of the cap is all I can give there Expand That's a tough at bat for anyone, but it really should have never gotten to that point. They left 10 guys on base in 8 innings and Abreu was a big part of that. They clearly hit Voth pretty well, but when it came time to get base runners home, they choked over and over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
