They are a terrible team and they are gifting us this game, but our bullpen will try to give it back.

 

At least we make for exciting finishes lol

Just for the record, the problem with thinking there will be some HOF leniency granted for this crap pitching is that this has all happened on one decade.

 

Things were fairly predictable all the way up through the early 2000's. The trend line for MLB pitching was not good but it was not a cliff either. It all came apart in the space of about 10 years to this point, 15 years tops for a game with records that go back well over 100 years.

 

MLB responded to the lack of pitching by bringing guys up too early and overusing them and there was nothing and nobody to backfill it. So now we have suckage at the ML level and uber-suckage in the minor leagues. If the trend line had continued on a predictable trend line basis, then MAYBE....MAYBE a case could be made that there would be some leniency granted for this generation of pitchers. But there is a hard break between this past decade and every other decade you can talk about. Nobody is going to grant leniency for pitchers using the rocket ship baseball as a rational either because THAT was a premeditated effort to mutate the game, all the rocket ship stuff happening in even less than the period of a decade. Manfred still won't even admit to it...so that rational isn't going anywhere either.

 

What it amounts to is that they have f***ed this game up royally. Been saying we were headed here for years and now we are here. Not to get political but its sorta' like the climate change situation we are boxing ourselves into. We will be denying while needing a small outboard motorboat to go out to the mailbox to get our mail. "Glug...glug....glug.....Climate Change, what climate change....glug.....glug....glug."

Once Moreland comes back, he should be gone. Nunez has been one of worst players in baseball past two seasons. I understand being careful with Hernandez, but he and Holt can share time, and if really needed, Chavis can play 2B too, chavis isn’t good defensively but at lest he adds something, Nunez is a 0 tool player, bad at everything.

 

Couldn’t agree more

A fun drinking game me and my friends do is a shot every time Red Sox bullpen allows a run. We’ve almost died a few times this season
