Moncada giving them an extra out because hey, why not?

Everything is up. The only pitch in the lower half of the zone was the 94mph ground ball Moncada waived at.

Suck on that Braves.

Fuck off.

They tried to give it away, but 1 down 59 to go.

Congratulations Sox fans! There will be no 0-162 this fucking year!

So how will the Sox ruin Crochet?

I'd be able to salvage something from this wreck if the Sox come out of it with Crochet as a TOR pitcher and Kopech a closer.

Kopech doesn't have it between the ears to be a closer, nor does he throw enough strikes.

Honestly given the way they have played, if they manage a 2-4 homestand its an achievement.


Leone sucks.

Agreed. But I think it would be a good experiment for this year's team. At best, he can be like Mitch Williams...load the bases, then strike out the side. If he sucks, so what. This team isn't serious about competing anyway.

That will just make me angrier. You're wasting good seasons from those guys. You gave away Cease without knocking it out of the park. Crochet-Cease-Clevinger-Fedde is as strong a rotation as any in the division.

You've got offensive black holes at catcher, short, and second. All you had to do to contend was keep Cease and make just a bit of effort to address those positions. Instead, it's another tank season and another- probably pointless- rebuild.

And 3rd base, and first base, and left field and right field, but other than that looks like a contender!

You think Morel, Suzuki, Bellinger, and I AM Crapp are better than what the Sox have at those positions? I doubt it.

Benintendi bats like he is swinging a pool noodle. Happ is better at the plate, and left field defense is negligable.
Eloy can't stay healthy.
Moncada is unequivocally better on defense, but he can't stay healthy either.

Sox RF has been a black hole for years now.

Robert > Bellinger.

Kinda what I was thinking. It wouldn't have taken much to compete in this division. It just shows how little this organization is interested on-field performance.
Can't risk the bottom line guaranteed money they put in their pockets from owning a baseball team by risking on paying baseball players.

Except they’re not trying to win. If you were, trading Cease would never have been considered.

They haven't been trying to win for 3 seasons. After 2021 when they made almost no moves to improve the club's weaknesses, it was clear JERRY! once again was choosing profits, friendships, and loyalty over October success.

Yeah I feel for you. I would love nothing more than arguing about two playoff teams rather than who is shittier.

Just like the Bears, tanking until they get a new stadium and then you'll see such dominance of the entire sport.

The Sox just suck, they aren't taking. They can't even get a high draft pick this year as Caller Bob lets us know almost daily. Though I realize that MLB draft is way different than NFL draft.

Honestly it seems as though JERRY is positioning himself to have the Sox turn into the A's, so he can move them easier. The other owners and MLB should step in and tell him to fuck off.

Nobody in the history of MLB has done less with more as an owner than Reisndorf.

The Sox don't need a new stadium. The park isn't perfect but its by no means dilapidated and it has cost Jerry and the Sox virtually nothing over the years.

The Sox had a hall of famer hitting 3rd for most of the 90s. They won a division in 2000. They had decent seasons in the early oughts, and won it all in historic fashion in 2005. So they were worth watching.

They have averaged less than 70 wins a season (not counting 2020) wins for almost a decade now.

They are beyond awful.




2005.
