8/14 Sox @ Yankems

[vegasbob]

I can shots on this team and never be wrong if i go the negative direction

[Larry Cook]

Floodgates open again!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, just after I complimented EO as a #4 starter on a real pitching staff when actually he is a #5.

[vegasbob]

Of course, JDM couldn't barrel up and get it out to right center. No Red Sox will take the cheap way out to right field. The ultimate insult is Brett "Head" Gardner getting his second double.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Isn't there some kind of 8 runs or more streak going on? Hate to see streaks get broken.

[vegasbob]

Post # 118 said it all. Want to know tomorrow's outcome tonight? Just ask

Just embarrassing. You can be this bad and have a $40 million payroll.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So much for my 'close loss' prediction.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You can be this bad by just paying minimum wage. Something like $9.00/hr.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

FOX NEWS should have covered this game. That way we wouldn't have to believe what we are seeing.

[d-money]

These games are not even close. This team sucks dick. How about showing some pride against your biggest rival. s*** is embarrassing.

[d-money]

So they will get a top 5 pick to draft another bust?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And the Yankems are playing w/o their biggest horse.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So they will get a top 5 pick to draft another bust?

 

If their 1st pick is a pitcher, that will probably be the last time we'll ever hear of him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the SOX offense could just average 10 runs a game, they'd at least be at .500.

[oldtimer]

I tuned out at the end of the top of the 5th and am glad I did. Up til then Eovaldi looked decent with a couple of mistakes but the 4th inning must have taken a lot out of him. Glad I didn't see the carnage.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The 'highlights' of this season will probably be found on the inside of a matchbook cover.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The streak of giving up 8 or more runs is now at 6. I don't know if that's a record or not, but it should be.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember when the Pirates had a BP consisting of Lamb and Veal. The SOX BP consists of Pigs. And that's just the BP; the SOX starters are even worse. Edited August 16, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

10-3 just like yesterday.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's definitely time to bring up all the kids and let them play. I'm referring to the players' kids.

To all the believers in Santa Claus and the fairies, go ahead and trade Matthew Barnes to the high bidder. You must really want that tub of Dubble Bubble. I have bitched about this pork meat ball for 2 seasons only to be shown the brilliant stats and "advanced analytics" determinimg Barnes's greatness.

 

The guy was , is and will be a gutless horseshit thrower of the first degree. I only have my eyeball test to determine that but if it stinks it's horseshit or probably pigshit and Barnes is it

[jacksonianmarch]

Barnes has never been one to thrive in the big moment

So you want to extend Barnes' contract if I'm reading your post correctly.

Red Sox making a case for the worst team in baseball. A horrible pitching staff will take the life out of a decent hitting team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe it's time to give Smoltz another tryout.

Also an indecent hitting team.

[Larry Cook]

As I said at the beginning of the season, we can be complete and utter losers, but also get some youngsters some quality time in the big leagues to see if they have anything to offer!

 

I know some people are worried about starting the free agency clock early, but none of our kids are tier 1 prospects!

 

This about seeing if are borderline prospects can contribute in 2021!

 

Hang’em Chaim needs to start trading everything he can, not homegrown, for as many prospects as possible and give the youngsters a chance!

 

Ps: hang’em Chaim obviously sucks at evaluating pitching, so let’s sign an evaluator/pitching scout away from Atlanta or the dodgers, so hang’em Chaim does not draft a bunch of losers resembling the junk he signed this offseason!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

10-3 just like yesterday.

 

 

Consistency is what wins championships.

$20 mill for 2 years, you got it Mattie. I think the real frustration is listening to the "analysts" who really thought he was worthwhile. I've seen a lot of baseball, as most here have, and you can tell a winner from a loser after a reasonable number of observations. I hope I'm not accurate but I put Benintendi in the category of a prospective failure . Chavis is next.
