Aug 1: BOS (Pivetta) @ TBR (McClanahan)

[bmattioli]

They look pathetic. No urgency whatsoever. I think bloom killed the energy with this team by not making a move to get better.

 

Exactly correct.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivetta is still the least worst of the pathetic 4.

[d-money]

August swoon!!!!!

[Nick]

Well it is deflating to see other three contenders add and only guy we get starts off on IL for at least two more weeks.

[TylerD]

Behind. Shocker.

[TylerD]

Pivetta is still the least worst of the pathetic 4.

Agreed. He can be our 5th guy when sale is back

Can he pitch?

[d-money]

Why the f*** are they bringing back sale?!!!! Just forget about it. Bloom gave up on the season at the trading deadline.

What I posted about Pivetta wasn't meant as a compliment. It was just to magnify how s***** the other 3 are.

[jacksonianmarch]

Renfroe murdered that one

[d-money]

This team can’t do anything right. Smh

[TylerD]

Well we cut the lead in half.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

On the good news front, Pivetta has thrown his best games this season against Tampa.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers has only seen 3 pitches with 3 at bats.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Franco appears to be the player the Rays had hoped he'd be.

[a700hitter]

This team was getting by on enthusiasm and late inning magic. Their pitching is among the worst, if not the worst, of any contending team. The lack of reinforcements demonstrates a lack of belief in this team and that will be viewed as an abandonment by the players. You can only go so far on enthusiasm and late inning magic. This could go in the wrong direction very dramatically.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora moving quickly to remove Pivetta; too bad he didn't employ that quickness last night with EO, who was being hit harder than Pivetta.

see my signature....just two days ago.

Nice to see that JDM remains useless on a team that needs him. The pitching still is not good (3 runs in 5 innings) but the hitting is very weak. Last night Hunter cannot touch the ball with bases loaded, tonight he homers, followed by 2 base runners who get left by the indomitable Dalbec who K's

No matter what happens from here on, I'm just so happy that Bloom got to keep all his future HOF top prospects.

The more useless JD becomes, the more certain he'll be with the SOX next year. A pleasant thought.

[vegasbob]

This Vaz's 94th game out of 107 played. What will he look like in mid September, when the Sox are scrambling for the second WC slot ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

" Not all who Wander are lost"

 

That was good, Vegas. Better than this game so far.

[d-money]

This is just disgraceful. This team is literally falling apart.

Catchers don't need rest, only shortstops, OF's and DH's.

[d-money]

f***ing joke. The media needs to get on bloom but they will kiss his ass.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice DP by Dalbec, caught the grounder, threw quickly to 2b, caught the return throw.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by Hansel. Bloom must acquire a pitcher named Gretel. Edited August 2, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
