Brewers 5, Red Sox 1: Paralysis at the plate poisons another potent pitching performance

Picture if you will, a herd of fat, juicy, slow moving wildebeests. They’re approaching a river crossing, which leaves them extremely vulnerable to any predator in search of a snack. It’s a carnivore’s dream!

Now, take this setup for slaughter on the Serengeti, and imagine what the equivalent might be for a baseball lineup granted a similar opportunity. Perhaps its a parade of starting pitchers who look like this:

  • Tylor Megill
  • Cade Povich
  • Zach Eflin
  • Dean Kremer
  • Trevor Rogers
  • Chad Patrick
  • Aaron Civale

These are the last seven starters the Red Sox have faced.
