		<description><![CDATA[The 2015 Red Sox continue to find new and inventive ways to chip away at rock bottom. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>*<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/irrational_game/Mobile%20Uploads/andy-dwyer-life-pointless-gif.gif" target="_blank">exasperated sigh</a>*</p>
<p><strong>Top Play (WPA):</strong> J.T. Realmuto <a href="http://m.mlb.com/video/v361029983/?game_pk=415347" target="_blank">smacked an RBI single</a> in the bottom of the 6th inning to break a 4-4 tie and rack up a .173 WPA. Eddie Rodriguez lasted one more batter and two more earned runs, and then came the Dumpster Fire Duo™ of Ryan Cook and Robbie Ross. <em>Seven</em> more runs scored in the inning alone, and that&#8217;s really all she wrote for the Red Sox in this one.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom Play (WPA):</strong> Amazingly, the Red Sox pulled off this honor despite scoring on the play. Rusney Castillo grounded into a double play with runners on the corners and no outs, so a run scored despite the twin killing. The play was worth -.090 WPA, which was 13 points worse than another double play that resulted in zero runs and two outs in the inning. I&#8217;m not really sure how the Sox managed such a feat, but then again, it&#8217;s the 2015 Red Sox, and they continue to find new and inventive ways to chip away at rock bottom. The second-worst team in the majors hung 14 runs on the Red Sox. I guess that qualifies.</p>
<p><strong>Key Moment:</strong> Yeah, it&#8217;s <a href="http://m.mlb.com/video/v361063883/?game_pk=415347" target="_blank">Realmuto&#8217;s grand slam</a>. For what it&#8217;s worth, Realmuto came into this game with a 81 wRC+ and a .254 TAv. Robbie Ross gave up the blast, in the most unsurprising development in recent memory.</p>
<p>Talk about a swan song.</p>
<p><strong>Trend To Watch:</strong> Other than David Ortiz <a href="http://m.mlb.com/video/v361212983/?game_pk=415347" target="_blank">blasting nearly every single baseball to the moon</a>, there really isn&#8217;t anything good to see here. The pitching sucks, the hitting is inconsistent, the sky is blue, and water is wet. <a href="https://38.media.tumblr.com/2b73fc4302a823b4b579325d9a6e87bc/tumblr_nrg8ae19x51r1d4seo1_500.gif" target="_blank">Same as it ever was</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Coming Next:</strong> The Red Sox come home to face the Seattle Mariners, and Cy Young frontrunner Joe Kelly will take the mound Friday night to kick off the three-game set. Oh, and Felix Hernandez pitches for Seattle on Saturday. So there&#8217;s that too.</p>
