One time through this ragged-ass lineup and Flexen has the perfect game going. Red Sox batting discipline is almost non-existent. Always down 2 strikes, always swinging at ball 4

Keep in mind just how bad this Chicago team really is, as shown in their 17-48 record, even when it contains the last 2 wins vs Boston. The pitching is bad and there are few, if any, real threats at bat.
You really have to question how many Sox players starting today would be taken by other teams even if Breslow asked for no compensation and offered to pay out their 2024 salary
Similar to when one puts an item by the road with a 'free' sign and it's still there a week later.Originally Posted by vegasbob
The mere fact that Henry made that comment, telling the fans to tone down their expectations tells all about the limitations he put on both Bloom and now Breslow. Bloom was a ditherer but we know Breslow was a competitor . Henry will strangle this franchise for another 20 years . Maybe he will die first
The triple machine.
Refsynder kills the big inning with a double play grounder. He sucks.
"Keep the line moving" isn't happening much this season.
Given a huge 1-0 lead , Red Sox infield defenders determined to blow it up. Poor plays and poor efforts by Slaten and Hamilton, but what is new ?
3 straight errors followed by a 3 run jack by about the only WS capable of doing so. Red Sox sucking fumes at this stage. Bullpen games remain bullpen roulette, and they just shot themselves
Is this the only game you've watched, this year?

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
There is a lot of guys on this roster who just aren’t MLB players and I’d be fine leaving in Chicago
Looking like the April Sox, again on D.

Basically Rafaela, Duran and Wong are only future major league starters and Rafaela has a ways to go. Ref is a valuable bench player, not a full timer.
You won't win too many games with that lineup.
Sell, sell, sell....maybe we'll get something similar to Abreu, hopefully a young starter with potential.

I write fictional stories in my spare time. So don't fact check me. Better?
If it got to be the 9th inning and Sox were tied or down by one run, would you pinchhit either or both of O'Neill and/or Devers ? A dilemma for Cora because this may be your last chance to win for a week.
On the other hand another loss in Chicago won't change the season one way or another. If the injuries, major and minor don't stop, the rest of this year is sunk , providing Ownership/FO with the perfect excuse----It wasn't us, it was your over expectations
These clowns look like a bunch of little leaguers. What a joke.
