There is no being on the ledge. This is a combination of bad things coming together, but splitting this series is a disappointment even with the Twins in first. Yesterday was the game the needed to win.
6/22 - Our Boys vs. Twins @ 1:10 PM ET

We can always hope he has that sprain heal, but I doubt he is about to find a few more MPH on his fastball.
What an incredibly dumb play by Taylor. My 13 y/o daughter did that in a rec game a few weeks ago but the other team didn't catch that she didn't touch third again. But for a 32 y/o pro? Dumb.
Random and unimportant question: Why Caleb Hamilton and not Ronaldo Hernandez? Hamilton absolutely cannot hit. Hernandez can't field, but Wong is going to take most of the work here and another bat wouldn't be awful.
A road split against a .500ish team isn't bad....doing it after winning the first 2 kind of sucks though.
Our pitching is what's killing us.
Typical Red Sox. A good showing against the MFY and now lay an egg with the Twins.
Splitting a 4 game series on the road, when forced into this bad situation with Houck's injury and a rainout, is a far cry from laying an egg.
That said, I do worry about the next series without Verdugo. White Sox are bad this year, would like to expect to win that series easily.

Who was the kid pitcher who came up for one game against the NYY b/c the Sox were allowed another player for the double header? That kid could really pitch, unlike Garza and this Walter person, who may be fine in the minors.
OKAY. I was able to find it. Chris Murphy. He was good, and I'd like to see more of him.

In the abstract, perhaps. But they were tied going into extra innings last night. Going from that to 2-2 isn't a great outcome.
Six innings three earned runs - that's a quality start, if he'd started. It's a brutal game, but has he been that bad?
The offense looks completely dead. Maybe all the recent games and the early morning arrival on Monday are catching up with them.
Better get back after it tomorrow.
At least Walter did a good job and saved the pen.

And these guys are thrilled to do it. Congratulations to both and their families. It’s a big life moment for them. Hope there are many more for them!
