Red Sox leave 3 on base. Still 7-0

Great job by Alvarez to navigate that

Indeed. To recap,

- HBP and Double to put 2 on with no outs.
- Fielder's choice keeps the lead runner from scoring. 1 out.
- Strikeout, walk, strikeout to end the threat.

In and out of trouble.

It is why we need more strikeout pitchers

Alvarez is reminiscent of peak gio.

While most of the position players are hitting better in 2026 vs 2025, Lile seems to have lost whatever mojo he had last year.

2025 - .299/.347/.498/.845
2026 - .251/.306/.396/.702

Mead still looks fine at 3B

Some redemption for Rizzo this season with Nunez turning into a legit starter.

Nifty flip to 2nd

Seems like once Early had to leave the game yesterday, the Red Sox look like they've packed it in for the year

James is back!! 🔥🔥🔥

IdahoNat · « **Reply #37 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:04:19 pm »

I'm thinking the Red Sox just strikeout on purpose so they can go inside the dugout and cool-off

GataNats · « **Reply #38 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:14:49 pm »

Crews with a terrible read

IdahoNat · « **Reply #39 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:17:00 pm »

Just don't walk him home Riley. Giving up a grand slam is more dignified at this point.

This inning should be over

I’ve seen enough of this guy

IdahoNat · « **Reply #43 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:22:34 pm »

Let him finish the game. If he wants to be on the MLB roster, he can earn his right to stay.

aspenbubba · « **Reply #44 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:24:33 pm »

Who pitches the 9th? Lawrence or Palmquist?

This bullpen is so bad

IdahoNat · « **Reply #47 on:** July 01, 2026, 04:41:40 pm »

We need at least two quality relievers who could be set-up and closer respectively. If it means havign to trade someone like Gavin Fien, so be it.

16-16 over the last 32.

No really long winning streaks (max of 4), no really long losing streaks (max of 5)
