@jacksauer2's rating of Red Sox vs Pirates

@jacksauer2 rated the Red Sox vs Pirates game 1.5 out of 10 in MLB on August 16, 2026. Final score: Red Sox 3 – Pirates 8. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“WHY IS PATRICK SANDOVAL STILL STARTING GAMES FOR THE BOSTON RED SOX? Every single time its terrible start after terrible start and this was arguably his worst. Raymond Burgos has looked great out of the bullpen and he was a starter in the minors. Hopefully Crochet comes back soon but in the meantime I'd much rather see Burgos get starts over Sandoval. Adley Rutschman has not received enough criticism yet. He's 1 for 17 on the Red Sox with his only hit being an infield single in his first game, and hasn't gotten on base by means other than a walk in the 4 games since. 0 for 11 in this series. He has been terrible since coming to the Sox. Of course, I do think he'll turn it around fast, and he better, but right now, it's not looking good. Before I just leave this pissed, I'm just gonna think about the good things to cope. Roman Anthony will be playing a rehab assignment for the Sea Dogs on Tuesday. He comes back and will likely replace Duran out in left field, at least hopefully.”
