Tough strike call.
Ump is making some questionable calls.
That last strike was probably not. But we’re also taking pitches that we normally don’t. Two K’s looking with two on and balls pretty center cut.
9 runners left on through 5 innings. Just brutal.
Yeah haven’t been a fan of our approach so far. Being abnormally patient at the plate.

Middle of the 6th, BC leads 3-0.
The ump has a really wide plate.
6-4-3 incoming? Maybe a pop out? Strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out….
But seriously, RISP hitting has been awful tonight.
Might as well have grounded into a double play. Hanson AB was a killer.
With the double steal, could have been a strike em out throw em out. Ha.

I think I’m going to be sick
Fenway can f itself.
Hopefully BC’s home park is a little kinder. Just bad baseball all around from us tonight.
