Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 7h Jackie Bradley Jr. got himself out. That at-bat killed what could have been a bases-loaded rally in the 7th.
What sort of damage could he have done swinging at this (5) on 3-1? It started a ball and wound up worse.
Those are bonus counts. You have to be more selective. #RedSox There isn't enough defensive value in the world to carry regular at-bats with what is now a .565 OPS.
The more vexing part of this for #RedSox fans is the club made itself purposely weaker in RF for 2022 just to take on two mid-tier prospects.
It's cost them games since April. He had such a bad swing on the ball low-and-outside. You have to consider the count before every pitch. The better the count, the selective you have to be. One of the two things I've been saying forever. If an RP walks someone with an 8-2 lead (Familia), then he is done. When you are ahead of the count, you can swing as hard as you want, but only on pitches with a good chance of contact. On some of these swings, the upside is a swinging strike, and the downside is a GIDP. You can't be ahead of the count and swing at pitches that you cannot get a hit on.

Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats · 4h Red Sox batters have struck out in 27.0% of plate appearances in July. Going back to 2002, that would their highest strikeout rate in a month by 2.1%.
Their 6.0% walk rate this month would be the 3rd lowest in a month. 5.9% this past April and in Aug 2012.
Injuries suck.

There may be a slight snag in the game starting on time but for a great cause The Home Base run is taking place today in Boston and of course it ends up in Fenway The Red Sox have for a while ( as well as the Jimmy Fund) have the Home Base run for support for Armed Forces/ Police/ Rescue/ First Line medical emergency, and have raised a ton of money and helped out these vets and families. I really love that pro sports teams do this to get involved in their community.

Your CF next year
Pete Abraham @peteabe · 1h Duran picked off. Didn't bother to dive back to the bag.
They have a lot of injuries. They need players. I get it. But at some point, don't you have to say, "Why don't you go back to Worcester and think about playing harder?"
