Chad Tracy’s decision to pull Sonny Gray after just 70 pitches sends the Red Sox into chaos. Gray had allowed only one run, yet Boston went to a struggling bullpen and watched the Yankees immediately take advantage. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash rip the move and question whether Tracy has already lost his clubhouse.
Gray makes his frustration impossible to ignore, saying he wanted to live or die with the moment before delivering an ominous “I don’t know” when asked about returning to Boston. Wilson Contreras also appears unhappy with the organization’s reliance on analytics. Plus, the crew dives into the suspicious substance spotted on Gray’s neck and wonders how neither the Yankees nor the umpires caught it during the game.
