Ugh. The offense decided to pack it in around the 5th inning last night.

2 hits in the inning and the sox send a total of 3 men to the plate in the inning.
That is hard to do.

At least the Sox have some cupcakes this weekend.

www.espn.com/blog/boston/red-sox/post/_/id/50667/red-sox-cant-wait-to-find-solutions-for-struggling-bullpenBOSTON -- By now, this must be starting to look ominously familiar to Dave Dombrowski. For years, he built competitive teams in Detroit, with potent offenses and ace-filled starting rotations. Each season, though, the Tigers' World Series aspirations fizzled in large part because of bullpens that through rotten luck or poor planning were inadequate. From 2011 to 2014, when Dombrowski's clubs won four division titles, his relievers ranked 26th in the majors in ERA (4.00), 25th in walks per nine innings (3.83), 24th in left-on-base percentage (72.9) and 24th in wins above replacement (9.0). All of which brings us to this season, Dombrowski's first full year in charge of the Boston Red Sox's baseball operations. The Sox have a lineup that rakes and a rotation that has pitched far more reliably since the All-Star break. But the bullpen is threatening to undermine the team's chances of reaching the postseason -- or at least of advancing deep into October.
