The Red Sox lost again to the Blue Jays 12-4 Sunday on what is a usual Mother's Day Miracle but not this year sadly... The Blue Jays belted 5 home runs total today, and 2 coming from Jose Bautista. Dempster was not on his A-Game and he just had no control of the ball. He could not locate anything and was leaving balls down the plate. In 5 innings, Dempster gave up 7 hits, 6 runs, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts. And not to forget, he also gave up 3 home runs. Craig Breslow was the only Sox pitcher who did not give up a run today, going 1 inning giving up 0 hits and 0 runs. Jose De La Torre made his major league debut coming in the 9th inning giving up 2 hits, 2 runs, and a walk through an inning. The Sox had a rally in the 8th inning but failed to score, leaving runners in scoring position on base AGAIN... Napoli and Pedroia were really the only Sox hitters who did good today. Napoli went 3-4 with a home run and an RBI, and Pedroia went 2-5.
Something is wrong with the Red Sox .I just don't understand why they are doing bad. At this point they are relying on Buchholz and Lester as the only good starters and then the offense is never there in some games. A lot of people are doing bad again, including Ellsbury who is going 1-5 every single night now, and Napoli has slowed down his offense and isn't leading in RBI's anymore. Middlebrook's is having an off slump year, Drew isn't helping, Salty is striking out, Ciriaco is being wild, Nava isn't being the hero we saw earlier this season, and most of our pitching including our bullpen is doing bad. The Red Sox need to get back on track during this road series so that they can come back at home fresh and new and ready to go. I'm hoping they can get back on track and be the good Red Sox we saw a few weeks ago.
