Ernie doing it all

Decent showing by Berrios.

What an ab by Kirk, battling back from 0-2 to work a full count and then get the rbi double

3 hits for Gimenez and the biggest walk of the game. The luck is changing for him.

Giminez back above the Mendoza line after that last hit

So sandin sux now

Sox waving the white flag and going with an infielder on the mound

Berrios with a great outing, much needed for the over-used - and micromanaged - pen.

The Sox aren't looking so good.

Is berries an all star this year

No, but Kirk, Clement, and Vlad should be.

Red Sox offense is yuck

The Devers thing is a disaster. Perennial top-10 hitter, 28 y/o, under contract.. cornerstone player gone

Took the bite off their offense.

Bregman and Casas missing makes it even worse.

Also, I think Vlad has some work to do to be an all-star over Torkelson and Aranda this year. But he likely gets in. Clement is behind several guys having even better seasons st the plate at 3B. I doubt he gets in. Kirk should get in as a backup behind Raleigh.

The pitching staff should get a much needed rest that weekend I would say…thanks to Hoffmans struggles the past month .

The Red Sox had swept the Yankees, gotten the third Wild Card spot, and were playing their best baseball all year the day they traded Devers. I know it was a salary dump, but I thought they would get a lot more than two struggling pitchers and two low-level decent prospects for Devers. An offensive talent like Devers (three time all-star, two time Silver Slugger), do not grow on trees.

Red Sox offense definitely not the same. As a Jays fan I will take it, since the way the Red Sox were playing at the time of the trade, I thought they could have leapfrogged the Jays eventually in the Wild Card standings. The timing of the trade was a head scratcher. Devers thought everything had cooled down between the two sides, and the focus was on baseball. Apparently not from the Red Sox front office and ownership.

Yea I read some stories after about the backend drama that had been going on for months. Apparently Breslow is also a menace behind the scenes and their front office has a ton of issues.

Bassitt has gone full headcase mode here in the 1st as he is sometimes prone to do. I think you might have to pull him, this game is still winnable at 3-0.

It's done now, he never got it back after the Toro AB. Gotta leave him in for the full 100 pitches.

Yikes no fun
