the 2019 Boston Red Sox have lost four in a row

I thought Houck was more or less a short-term thing
Seems the more he played the less he got
What's the use in five innings
All you get is pain?
When I needed shutouts, I got slain

from the associated press story on sunday's win over the guardians:

Sale... got an out in the seventh inning for the first time since Aug. 8, 2019.

what’s the use in startin
all you get is pain
when i needed strikeouts i got raked

xpost yowza

the fifth was out to get me
or that’s the way it seemed
hanging sliders, feeling loose at the seams

Cheer up, weeping team
Oh, what can it mean
To a leaky reliever
And an ERA of fifteen?

The Red Sox are #3 in runs behind only the Rays and Rangers, and #2 in extra base hits

And #1 in swag

Boston's much-maligned (by me) catching tandem of Connor Wong and Reese McGuire have more hits than any other team's catchers do

I really like Gausman but he is getting absolutely mauled by this lineup rn

Maybe in the AL? The Red Sox Cs have 35 hits, and I know Atlanta's Cs have 39.

I was just blithely repeating the NESN commentators, I should know better I guess!

Atlanta Cs are on 29 I think? the gloriously named Chadwick Tromp with 2, Sean Murphy with 27

Wong and McGuire have 37 between them

d'Arnaud has 11 but I don't know how that breaks down between C/DH.

9 at DH and 2 at catcher.

Damn the race is on

ty gyac!
