Another day, another humiliation by the pitching. They must have replaced Andrew Bailey with Barnum and Bailey given the circus on display game after game. But seriously. What has gone wrong since the All Star Break? If the Red Sox fall out of it with another big pitching collapse is the pitching coach heading out of the big top? I may not have enough circus references for this.
Luckily Nick Pivetta is here to save the day! Pivetta has given up two home runs in each of his last three starts. And aside from a meltdown in Colorado he’s been, actually, kinda fine.
