The Bruins struggle against weaker teams despite strong performances against top NHL competition.
During Saturday's game between the Red Sox and the Reds, Eugenio Suarez challenged Bucknor on back-to-back strike three calls and successfully had them overturned by the robo ump. It doesn't matter that Suarez ultimately grounded out. What matters is that, in a game where the Reds hit two home runs, the loudest cheers came for a pair of successful ABS challenges.
Portland picked up two red cards and still won 2-0, and it didn't look particularly difficult. The chaos started in the fifth minute, when Reilyn Turner found Cassandra Bogere in a far-too-open spot at the top of the box who then blasted a dangerous shot at Claudia Dickey.
"Our team is just going up from here. We haven't hit our peak yet. Obviously, there are still things that we can work on as individuals, but I think the team environment is definitely there. I couldn't be more proud of each and every single athlete that went up today and stepped in as well."
