The Red Sox lost and I\u2019m tired of writing the game recaps of them losing. They don\u2019t really like winning on Wednesdays! They also hate being good when it isn\u2019t beautiful weather outside. Crochet was solid, but the bullpen, after being so great the last two games, went back to being lackluster. You can\u2019t blame the whole loss on the bullpen though, as the offense did nothing to help the pitchers either. Scoring only one run will usually not win you the game, especially against the Mets.<\/p>\n
Two Studs:<\/p>\n
Garrett Crochet: Not his greatest outing, but only giving up 1 run is still good. His final stat line was 5.1 IP, 5 hits, 1 run (and earned), 1 walk, and 5 strikeouts. Soto\u2019s performance against him was quite comical.<\/p>\n
Jarren Duran: Gave the Sox the only run of the game with a sac fly. Had the wind not had money on the Mets, it might\u2019ve been a grand slam from the way he hit it.<\/p>\n
Three Duds:<\/p>\n
The Bullpen: Liam Hendricks, who was on the most rest out of everyone out of the bullpen, had a clean top of the sixth, but then loaded the bases with no outs, which Brennan Bernardino couldn\u2019t get out of without giving up a two-run RBI single and a sac fly. Definitive Innings Eater Newcomb then gave up a solo homer to Lindor, which was ironic given that Walker Buehler (my king) had defended the bullpen in response to a fan online discussing Lindor\u2019s at-bat behavior before Buehler\u2019s ejection last night.<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t want me out there either. Sad thing is the BULLPEN is full of fucking animals. Tough choice. https:\/\/t.co\/XuWysoT0aW<\/a><\/p>\n
