The sad fact of the matter is that the Red Sox are finding all sorts of different ways to lose baseball games.

(Sean McAdam, MassLive) Last night, those different ways included a Manny Ramirez-esque defensive play by Roman Anthony out in left field. Anthony’s arm isn’t injured, but clearly something isn’t right. Alex Cora says the issue is mechanics, while Anthony says “It’s just a mix of everything.

But at the end of the day, it’s a simple play. It’s got to be at least competitive. And it wasn’t, again.

So it’s terrible. ” (Christopher Smith, MassLive) At least the offense has woken up a little bit lately. Caleb Durbin had his best day at the plate as a Red Soxer last night (that’s right, I’m going with Red Soxer), notching two hits and scoring his first run with Boston.
