6/26 White Sox @ Boston Red Sox

[YastrzemskI]

Gravy ??? Man this is Boston we don't need a freaking bridge year from one World Series to the next !! Why on earth do we give these GMs slack for absolutely butchering decisions and costing the team and fan base misery ? Screw that I'm done with that mentality .

 

+1 This team is too good to f*** it up with one glaring issue.. and its happening before our very eyes.

[dannycater]

That's on MLB, not his agent or Dombro..he could have signed for 17.25 million

[Swiharts Ghost]

Crying for Kimbrel back is ******** too. He f***ing was a heart attack often, especially when Joe Kelly was a better option in the playoffs.

 

Are you freaking telling me if we had Craig Lion Heart We wouldn't be right Fing with the Yankees ??? Go fool yourself that s*** smells bad here .

[bosoxmal]

And they can throw Barnes in on the Betts/Sale trade for prospects. Maybe Mooky will recover, but the other two are DONE

[dannycater]

Balls are flying out of the park at an alarming rate and the Sox aren't keeping pace, especially at Fenway where the Monster is the opponent's free fly ball zone now.

[d-money]

Off course the Yankees win to top it off. This team might get spanked in London. At best they get a split. They haven’t shown the ability to hang with the skanks through 5 games.

******** ******** Bulllllllshit it's a negotiation and they allll s*** themself someone had to do what's best and not one of those asshats did .Craig will get shelled now watch his velocity will not be back until flipping October and by then everyone will be saying seeeeee seeee that f***er sucks !!! Bullllllll s*** he sucks that's the best closer we could have had and we f***ed it up .Enjoy 2019 it's Groundhog Day Danny .

[dannycater]

Swihart, he had a 17 mill to re-sign for one year, and if he did he would have been the closer. It's not like the Sox had any other money to give him. MLB colluded on both Keuchel and Kimbrel. The price of being greedy for big long contracts

[Tedballgame]

How many worst losses of the season can this team have. Get a gosh darn CLOSER!!!!!

Also if our "Ace" could perform like an Ace that would be great as well.

[dannycater]

Tyler, EXACTLY

[OH FOY]

According to what I see the Yankees won, were now 10 in the loss column. This series is critical for the Sox. Cannot be swept.

No problem. Feel free to start the London game threads.

 

For the London games , we should defer to the King (of Sox Talk). I'm over Barnes, he is a non-entity to me and his proper name will never be mentioned again by me. There are plenty of nicknames available, so you will know to whom I refer.

[vegasbob]

I'm sorry I'm gonna defend Dombro. We won the 2018 World Series, it was a glorious regular season and sensational playoffs. This is all gravy right now. If the worst thing is the Red Sox have no bullpen, so be it. It can still be fixed, lots of ways to work a deal or make something happen with waiver wires.

 

Gravy is normally used to cover up some cheap cut of meat or dried out fowl. Don't live in 2018, but embrace the diversity that 2019 is giving us.

[TylerD]

This is definitely a disappointing season for Sale to say the least. Given the start he had was next to as bad as it gets. But now take his last 8 starts.

He went 11 innings in the two games combined against Houston and gave up 7 runs, gave up 4 runs against the Yankees, then finally looked like the Sale of old and was fantastic against the Royals, Rangers and Orioles.... Then shits the bed horribly once again against the Jays and had a horrible first inning today against the crap White Sox. 5 of his last 8 starts have not been good. Granted he rebounded today but that first inning was killer. Yes Sale doesn't always get the run support he should, but at the end of the day Sale just has not been that good this season.

[Bellhorn04]

That's 4 late inning leads coughed up in 17 days (June 10, 18, 22 and 26).

I doubt I will be up in time to start the game thread anyway hahaha so a700hitter can start it. Though my son will probably have me up during the night at random times as he usually does lol!

[dannycater]

Xander and Devers have had fabulous seasons, the team's brightspot, that and EROD

[Swiharts Ghost]

Im not a guy that can see into the future but of those 16 blown saves how many does Craig save and I want to be fair let's be *******s say he saves 9 of those 16 where the F are we in the standings folks ? We are breathing down that Juiced up teams ******* .

[dannycater]

He's not killing the team as much as the Committee of Closers, but Sale and Porcello not exactly helping out.

Don't disagree that we probably win 10 more games with a pen. But it is what it is.

Either big D grows a set of Bs or we are big time Fd

[Swiharts Ghost]

Give usssss something to cheer about Dave .

The 16 blown saves is not the relevant number because we won some of those games. But I think we're now up to 8 blown saves that led to losses. It's a bad number either way.

[OH FOY]

Cant let this game effect them in London, need to really shake it off. Yankees are hitting everything in sight, they are hot with the bats.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Give us a closer Dave chant this at every Fenway home game winning or losing every freaking chance you can .

[OH FOY]

Last 7 games Yanks are hitting .284 with 17 HRS as a team.

Sox are hitting .300 with just 5 HRS as a team last 7 games.

[dannycater]

Precisely why it's more than just blown saves killing the Sox.
