I like this one a bit.Game 60
Another bad game. I have to acquit
Cora on that one. (I'm no hypocrite.)
The guys on the field made a mess of it.
Sometimes the Red Sox forget how to hit
with runners on base. Sometimes they commit
ridiculous errors that would befit
the Keystone Cops or a Benny Hill skit.
Our starters and bullpen sometimes get lit
up, so it’s hard to know which ones to sit.
Though there are days when the Sox looks like s#!t,
it's a likeable squad, semi-close-knit,
who've bounced back before, displaying true grit.
Can we show we're real and not counterfeit?
Can we restore faith and hope just a bit?
Can we survive this slide into the pit?
Can we outplay or outlast or outwit?
Can we get a win for a series split?
I think that's Refsnyder. Yoshida is the DH today.Upset at Yoshida’s throw.
Obligatory “why don’t the Red Sox draft/int’l sign guys like this?”Margot is hitting .999 against the Sox in his career.
How did I leave "legit" out of the poem???I like this one a bit.
And Bello is legit.
The Red Sox don't seem to be good at Fenway this year. 0 runs so far in this game. Very disappointing season.This inning's been frustratin' as fvck.
I give the Rays some credit. All of them seem disciplined and smart hitters. Unlike the Sox.It would help if he could get a swing and miss.
The bullpen is taxed, barring injury why would Bello not come out in the sixth?Welp, that third run just about ends it with McLanahan going. I have zero confidence that we can win this game now. Bello is probably done after this inning if he even gets out of it too.
It evens out with the home run robbery, I think. Bello has been solid, but going into the fifth, that goose egg he had tossed wasn't as impressive as you would think.BABIP bullshit is here.
Sigh.Bello looking good through 4 and with a reasonable pitch count. Hopefully we can get a minimum of 6 innings out of him.
I must have misread the pitch count total, I thought he was at 98, not 88.The bullpen is taxed, barring injury why would Bello not come out in the sixth?
Yeah, I don't believe in jinxes but that was ill-advised.Sigh.
