Yes I am.   Two days ago I just got the feeling it was over.   Have been in a fairly negative emotional state since.   

I call that Eeyore mode.

I'm well rested. I could give an inning. 

Doesn’t matter, you can’t escape their defense right now.

Because he was pitching terribly and he thought Akin would be better 

Didn't work out so well. Lyles has been like that all year and pitched through it. Wouldn't have been much worse than Akin.

[Il BuonO]

One out, dammit!

[PHRESH]

Haha Stowers had me worried for a second 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Stowers scared me a little bit tracking down that third out, I wasn't sure If he saw the fly ball. Time to score more runs and get this back to a five run lead.

I’m tired of the narrative the pen is overworked. They aren’t. Just haven’t been as good. Hyde has spaced them out well. Joey K went back to back yesterday but he taken care of them. 

[dtk9119]

Even a little homerism from Brown there when Stowers caught that. What a horrific inning

Akin has been good. I have no problem with Hyde's move there. That inning was on Akin and the defense.

You understand the runs allowed were not on Akin?

I knew it was far from over. Ball is jumping and 5 innings left. That error was awful. 
Brown keeps saying Ryan could have picked it, ball was way off line inside the bag.

Everybody just keep raking and there will be wicked tears in Southie tonight.

If only Hyde knew what would happen and could see the future.

But the catcher wasn’t in the way. The throw was offline and Stowers slid into him anyway.

The catcher was blocking the plate as Brown pointed out. Stowers has no idea where the throw is going. I have no problem with him sliding into the catcher.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Why does MASN ever show the behind the catcher shot when a pitch is thrown? You can't even tell if the pitch is a ball or strike.
