Had a five-team ML parlay tonight for shits & giggles, $15 to win $137. Won four of five. Who blew it for me? The Pirates, of course. 
They managed to win at Fenway, 7-6. Even when they win, I lose.

This could be a long season in Boston. After scoring 5 runs in the first inning of game one, they scored 3 runs the next 26 innings.
They were playing the Pirates at Fenway, and got swept.
Their pitching is a hot mess. Kluber is a shell of his old self, Sale is the same and he can't stay healthy, the rest of the rotation is not good either. The bullpen is pretty ugly as well.

I expected the games to be slugests. What surprised me was how little slugging the BoSox did after the 1st inning of game one.
The Pirates shut them down. The Bucs replace half of their pen every year with guys I've never heard of, and they were effective.
I'd like to believe the Pirates pitchers are that good (spoiler: they're not) so that falls on Boston's bats. They'll need to pick it up because their pitching isn't getting any better.

Rich Hill will probably somehow keep managing to find a roster spot somewhere for 10 more years. Guy just seems like he will be around forever by some stroke of luck. What is this like his 18th year? Always fucking hurt yet somehow keeps popping up.

We still get 3-2 counts over and over and over. That is the main thing that makes it hard for me to sit through these games. First pitch, strike, second pitch, strike (this is easy!!), ball ball ball, sixth pitch foul, seventh pitch ooooh just outside because the pitcher refused to give in, take your base (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz).
Since it's so easy for the hitter to get a hit on an 0-2 strike, make them do that on 0-1 by shortening the strikeout to 2 strikes!
Don't know if that would solve the problem, but it seems like something drastic needs to happen to save me from the 0-2 to 3-2 malaise.
Idk if the sport had this problem to this degree back when I obsessed over the Reds because it never used to bother me, but it sure does now.
