5/23 - Stop the Skid

[d-money]

This offense blows chunks! Its difficult to watch

[Station 13]

it took archer 28 seconds to throw that pitch.

 

is it faster than Buccholz's pace?

[Wasatch]

Really never paid attention, but that Bullpen at the Trop SUCKS!

Everything about the trop sucks.

[mvp 78]

Brock Holt is the best.

[Wasatch]

Everything about the trop sucks.

 

I know, just like I said, I never really paid attention, really meaning the PLACE SUCKS!

[d-money]

This team is gonna have to start playing small ball.Trading an out to score one run.

[d-money]

Anyone got the avg now with risp? It must be like 220

[Station 13]

team seriously lacking the swaggers from 2013.

[Station 13]

Our hitters are caught in headlights.

[NativeBostonian]

What the f*** is up with the Red Sox tonight? They aren't protecting the plate when they have two strikes against him. That's like the sixth time they've looked at a third strike down the middle of the plate.

[Wasatch]

C'mon Lackey get him out.

[mvp 78]

Leah Hextall, vavavavooom.

[User Name]

Horseface deserves a win.

[mvp 78]

This game has been terribly exciting.

[d-money]

Opposing pitchers are gonna love facing these clowns.

[NativeBostonian]

These two teams are so boring to watch.

[Station 13]

nice outing by Lackey, we needed that after the hell the bullpen was put through.

[NativeBostonian]

wow...

[Station 13]

Dead. This team is dead.

[Mr Tibbs]

f*** BADENHOP!!!!!! Ditch this *******!!!!

[NativeBostonian]

And we have to try to win against Price tomorrow....

[d-money]

Fitting end for these bums!! No urgency at all.Bunch of overpaid asswipes!

[d-money]

They are so nonchalant.Its sickening!

[Spudboy]

That blew goats. 8 loses in a row is just not believable. Can't this team hit at all?

 

In this 8 game stretch the Sox have hit .220, scored 16 runs, and have struck out 64 times.

 

Maybe I'm just old but I can't seem to remember such offensive futility.

 

I really hope that the FO is making some phone calls looking for at least one bat. Not sure who it could be or what it would could cost. I just hope that they do something proactive to try to make this season worth watching.

 

The real danger here is that the Sox may be establishing a losing culture. If that happens things will get even uglier and possibly nasty.

I'm probably the last person to ever want to criticize John Farrell. However, why did he not sent Herrera into pinch run for AJ? That would seem to have made sense. As it turned out AJ was out at second on the FC.

 

On the bright side, Price is having an off year for him so maybe the Sox can get something going Saturday.

[d-money]

Spudboy this offense is putrid.Dont hold out any hope.

[Spudboy]

I have over 48 years of never losing hope that the Red Sox will win.

 

I've lowered my expectations for this year. I just hope to see them win about half of their games. That should be a realistic goal, shouldn't it?

[NativeBostonian]

Just got back from the Trop. I had a feeling that was coming. The Rays have, ever since 2008, been able to come up with a lot of walk off wins. They just know how to hit in those situations.

I don't know how you go from World Series Champs to playing like the Houston Astros.
