In their last 15 games, the Red Sox offense is averaging 3.3 runs per game, their worst 15-game stretch of the season. They have been held to 3 runs or fewer 10 times, and haven't scored more than 6. This is what I'm talking about. Even in their wins, it seems like such a struggle to score runs. I'm waiting for them to break out again. |

Lou Merloni @loumerloni · 3h When Houck joins this staff, it’s going to be the best 13 man staff this team has had since 2018. Maybe deeper than that one. No clue if it will be enough. They need to swing it but more importantly catch the ball better. C U in Washington!! As the saying goes, Sale, Houck, Whitlock, and Story are the best trade deadline acquisitions we could have hoped for. We do have a really good staff if they can stay healthy. And hopefully Story helps a little with the defense. Let's go! |

Sox have a day off, then at Washington face RH LH LH starters. I wonder if Yoshida could get an extended break.
3 grounders today. Last 20 games, 41 of 66 batted balls on the ground (62%), hard hit rate under 40%, and an OPS under .600.
After Washington, schedule turns brutal. Yes, Yoshida is hitting a lot of weak grounders. This is what he was doing at the beginning of the season, before he caught fire. I don't understand how you go from hitting weak grounders, to smoking the ball, back to hitting weak grounders again. We need him back on track. Devers and Duran too, for that matter. |

I always thought that the best use of my talent would be to simply lock me in a closet, and once a month I slide a financial statement out under the door. I feel the same way about Lou. Lou should have -0- responsibilities in life except to make daily comments about the RS. Anyway, tiny sample size, but this team looks different with Sale, Story & Whitlock back (and no, I know I am begging for a "Captain Obvious" response). Lou tends to often rub people the wrong way, but he tells it like it is and is almost always spot on. |
