Baby steps. They are playing against the team with the best record in MLB so I'm not freaking out.

Use Burr instead of Gomez and the Sox are up by at least 3 runs.

I agree. When one of your building block guys pitches like that, you can't just bring the bums in with a "let's see how this guy does here" attitude. You have to manage to win the game.

This is the first time I've been bothered by a loss in a good while. Feels good in a way.

Have a feeling Kopech is going get his "welcome to big leagues" moment tomorrow.

Same. It is nice to care about a loss.

The team needs to have in mind who will manage next season. It can't be Renteria.

Their bullpen sucks. Outside of Fry, they are basically all bums. Minaya has had his moments, but he walks far too many to be a reliable setup guy/closer at this point. If guys like Thyago Vieira are pitching in high leverage situations in 2020, then the Sox are in serious trouble.

I hope Avi gets that knee cleaned up in the off season and we can finally see what he can do with a healthy season.

And Hawk just compared JORR'S guy Palka to young Danny Pasqua, and I can't disagree.
