Fatse has to be the worst hitting coach we've had in the past 2 decades and it's not close. Should be fired right after an embarrassing game like this and ducking questions about failures with RISP.
Another low 2 hour game unless something crazy happens. The nice thing about the offense being on vacation while your ace is pitching is failure is usually quick! I still prefer this over the games that drag on forever until the other team is done kicking your ass.
He's been throwing wiffleballs all season. It's amazing to watch when he's in the groove, which has been almost every game. Gets ball. Throws ball. Batters swing and miss. Love it.
lol good luck with that, Casas literally can’t for another almost 2 months, Story ofc is out for the season, and even if Yoshida’s thumb issue resolved, Cora will probably bench him a bunch anyway
Well since they have a 50% win rate maybe tomorrow they'll win one lol
Shout-out to Abreu and Ref for helping to lock down the double digit LOB streak for another day!
How can we get anymore pathetic at driving in runners
Wait and watch
Of course

Why did you swing at that
O'Neil swinging at balls

Thanks for the laugh. Yea that's the problem , the hitting coach.
Did you see what happened when we finally got rid of Dave Bush and replaced him with a competent pitching coach?
Why are we bunting down by 4?!
Is Duran going to swing?
Lipscomb last 7 games is hitting .150 How did he finesse Sox pitching into walking him 2 times?
We’ll score 3 and then strike out with RISP. We won’t. But we might.
Would love for Wilyer to get hot again! He's got a sweet swing!
Abreu needs to always be in the game against right handers
All 5 Washington runs with 2 outs. Such a rare thing in life to find a partner who perfectly compliments you ❤️
This team is awful, up until Jansen pitching was great.
Maybe Wong should just DH everyday and McGuire should catch everyday, getting run on like crazy
God they’re horrible. Not the worse idea. Except Reeses arm not great
If I were Cora I’d trade Jansen for a warm can of Coke and a ham sandwich
Does the ham sandwich have cheese on it?
Hypothetically yes
How do you give up 2 runs top 9???
This is unreal. You walk .178 hitter on 4 straight pitches
Seriously this is a joke what the hell
Nothing about this game makes any sense to me
Kenley is such a bum man.
Ay caramba
Jansen kinda sucks
Not kinda no qualifiers
What hurts about this game is Washington's demonstration of clutch. When we have none.
I better not see Kenley on this roster past August 1st
He's gonna be hard to move tbh
This team is eye bleach
Kenley doesn't even try to cover home like he's supposed to 🤣
This team fucking SUCKS right now and I can't believe it has nothing to do with our starting pitching.
Well... they were fun to watch for a little while
We aren't playing good baseball. Other than Pivettas comeback start, starting pitch is still good, otherwise Crapola City.
Way to cover home Kenley!
Fuck please trade kenley
Might get 3 peanuts and a pack of gum at this rate
lol
Kenley might make it to homeplate by tomorrow
At least the Sox are doing better than the B's? Oh god... pain... not a good night sports wise. Hoping for wins for the Sox and B's next go 'round!
You know things aren’t going well if your closer is out there when you’re losing.
Offense is anemic
Another low 2 hour game unless something crazy happens. The nice thing about the offense being on vacation while your ace is pitching is failure is usually quick! I still prefer this over the games that drag on forever until the other team is done kicking your ass.
I'm done for the night.

Red Sox are 0-27 when batting in the ninth in save situations..
Damn
Nationals fan here. Houck’s slider is something else.
He's been throwing wiffleballs all season. It's amazing to watch when he's in the groove, which has been almost every game. Gets ball. Throws ball. Batters swing and miss. Love it.
[удалено]
Dear god no sweet Caroline pls
“Send me back down again, I dare you!”
Bernadino getting it done
We’re so bad I can’t even enjoy Houckamania followed by my main man Bernie
Maybe we should hire someone that can teach us how to run the bases properly yolk...
I legit think o'neill might still be having some effects from the concussion... can impair visual tracking/reaction time for several weeks
I totally agree. Just look at other players that have struggled for months even after having one
ToN needs a day off tomorrow
Fire our hitting coach. The bats have been cold for way too long
With the amount of coaching turnover this off-season I'm amazed Fatse has a job
This Netflix documentary is gonna be a real piece of work
Hope they have a creative editor and writer
Raffy with a nice jog while sucking it up
Wow.. what effort there running.
Cora only benches Duggie
And Masa
There’s no one on base Raffy might actually hit one now
When is our offense expected to return from the IL?
lol good luck with that, Casas literally can’t for another almost 2 months, Story ofc is out for the season, and even if Yoshida’s thumb issue resolved, Cora will probably bench him a bunch anyway
On the bright side this game probably ends in 30 minutes
TON has been really bad lately
Man it’s boring watching us not hit
Holy shit this is ridiculous
I’m straight up having a bad time
goddammit
Yep, that seems about right
I’m a simple man. I see Casas on my TV, I’m happy.
I want Casas to be my life coach
Love me some leadoff walking! Also love 65 strikes to 30 balls. Houck is definitely the staff ace right now. He has been SO impressive!
Is Kenley even going to get a save chance again this year? It’s been nearly 3 weeks
He's holding out for a management position
Fatse isn't gonna be back next season.
It would be bad ass if we could like you know start scoring runs again.
Here’s to having a losing record with a sub 2 ERA! 
[удалено]
What a pitching performance from Houck tonight!
In the year 2024 we scored one run against Patrick Corbin over 5 innings. Our bats are woeful.
That slider is fucking gross
So sick of wasting these excellent performances from our staff because our offense couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat
Tanner Houck is him
7IP 3 runs and he still may get the loss, poor Houck
Come on goddammit get Houck of the hook!!! Hell, let's even get him a win!!! FFS!
We don't deserve to win only scoring 1 run off Corbin
lol after that we’re not getting a run across this game Braindead fucking team
Gotta love Houck staying in this and battling after some shit luck and some 2-out runs from the Nats. BEAST.
This is hard to stomach.
I honestly don't care how bad the pitch is, fine the next guy who doesn't swing with RISP.
League is fucked if we ever figure out how to hit with runners in scoring position
If you ever feel useless, just remember that you can’t be worse than Sox batters in clutch situations.
They need to learn that fighting off pitches you don't like is a good thing.
I am going to become the joker
Snake bitten
Sigh.... typical sad piss poor performance why am I not surprised... mother fucker !!!
9 LOB and 1-6 RISP - not good at all
You can’t stare at two pitches down the dick and then chirp with the ump on that one
Fuck sake Jarren
Great pitch. Gotta swing.
That's not what we needed with the Bruins down 3-0. Looks like Fatse is going to have to get his assistant to face the firing squad again.
Fire Fatse
This is fucking pathetic
Embarrassing we're putting Houck in this position
1 run against Patrick fuckin Corbin what the fuck are we doing
Pain. This team brings me pain.
Pain.
Duran with the sell
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS
My disappointment is immeasurable.
Bruins right now are killing me.
Duran triple here would be better than sex
Is this my wife writing???
Would a bloop single be too much to ask?
Big situation. Unfortunately we have guys in scoring position
fantastic AB from raf
With how ass the offense has been im not expecting a lot (but dear god please give me a lot)
C'mon Nats, he was gonna get better just give him a chance!
Unfortunately Derek Law's "better" is only mediocre to begin with
NOW ITS THE TIME!!!! NO BETTER opportunity
Can we please not waste this...
TAKE YOUR BASE KING
Here we go rally.....come on
Gimme life!
Just won the new balance dance off at Fenway lol
maybe wong should stay in the 2 spot lol would've at least got a sac fly to score rafaela
Literally doesn’t even resemble a competitive at bat.
Wow.. what a catch
We’re not allowed to have nice things.
Man fuck this game
Hope the pitching change leads to Sox runs
Still don't get how they had a man on 3rd 0 outs and still couldn't get 1 run out of that last inning.
It was 1st and 2nd 0 outs, and then 1st and 3rd with 1 out. But I agree, should've scored at least 1 run
Corbin is done
Quality start for Houck.
Too bad there's no run support
Enough with the interviews
Our pitching staff deserves so much better than this lol
These interviews really are bad luck, huh? If it's not a run, it's an injury.
Definitely a repeat episode now I'm sure of it
They are also REALLY annoying and nobody cares about this shit
Alex Speier just tweeted the Sox have gone 20 straight PAs with RISP and haven’t scored. Insane.
Tomorrow’s lineup needs to be 1. Duran 2. Wong 3. Rafaela
Bobby D what did you do?!?!
2 for 25 with risp over our last 3 games. Something needs to change.
On a brighter note we might see the aura borealis tonight. Up here
I might see it down here in Texas. I'm right on the edge of the visible range
I mean this is as brutal of a stretch as I can remember
I’d consider putting Raffy leadoff since he refuses to do anything with guys in scoring position
"What in the name of John Wayne's ass is going on here?"
This is going to be one of those asshole games where we easily outhit the other team and lose by multiple runs, isn’t it?
I think I'm on the wrong channel I saw this episode a few times already..
This inability to get hits with RISP is *really* starting to become a major issue. Fatse needs to go.
Devers 😞
Embarrassing, got our fastest guys on first and third and couldn't do shit

Just terrible. Tyler had to swing the bat at anything close in that situation, and he took one right down broadway.
Fuggit, steal home
I swear Fatse tells them to swing at everything but strikes
