### Decisions

|Winning Pitcher|Losing Pitcher|Save|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|Lambert (3-4, 5.02 ERA)|Kopech (5-11, 5.12 ERA)||

*Game ended at 10:00 PM.*

16 comments

  1. * Eloy is out for the series on paternity leave.
    * Andrus homered on the first pitch of the game for his 100th career HR. While he went 3-for-4, it was all downhill from there for the Sox.
    * Vaughn got a walk and a single. No other Sox reached base.
    * Kopech allowed 9 runs in 4 IP. The bullpen allowed another 5.

  2. I don’t care about worst record. If you can’t beat the Rockies, A’s or Royals then you are the worst team in baseball. The worst.

  5. Anyone who doesn’t think this team needs to be completely torn down both on and off the field, is just an idiot at this point.

  6. Let’s change the subject. I’m in a 14 team ff league; keep Kenneth Walker in the sixth round (pick 65ish) or Pacheco in the 10th round (pick 130ish)?

  14. JFC, my first Sox game since spring training 2020, right before COVID became a thing.

    First pitch homer was awesome. Then it became the Bears in Superbowl XLI with the opening kickoff.

    Whatever, 2 more games. High altitude. It can’t get worse, right?

  15. So, Kopech is the biggest bust of all them, right? Because….Jesus H Christ, what the hell happened?

  16. I know it sucks that we lost, but the important thing is that we got valuable Major League at-bats for Yasmani Grandal, Elvis Andrus, and Trace Thompson. Those are going to really pay off next year when they’re all playing for the Savannah Bananas.
