[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the SOX get out of this, I believe they'll make the PO's.

Welp

[jacksonianmarch]

And that's the game. f***in A sox, can you please take one from this team?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is it too soon to say "wait till next year?"

[vegasbob]

Thanks Strahm

[vegasbob]

No, it's "early'

[redsoxrules]

Thanks Strahm

 

Can't really blame Strahm. He comes in with the bases juice and one out.

[vegasbob]

7 freakin relievers in the game and one of them wrecks it and the last one can't get a K or groundball OR a haircut.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No, it's "early'

 

To paraphrase Yogi "early's getting late."

[iortiz]

Is it too soon to say "wait till next year?"

 

This team is not a PO caliber team this year. I see a several flaws and declinings this year.

 

Said that this will be a bridge year and an opportunity to get rid of several players.

[Tedballgame]

Thanks Strahm

 

How could he possibly be blamed for the loss?

[illinoisredsox]

Thanks Strahm

 

That one is not on Strahm. Got to give some credit to Espinal for hanging tough

 

Diekman and Barnes are your villains.

"Can't get a haircut," Next thing you're gonna say is "get off my lawn!"

Sox will be sellers at the deadline....J.D.M., Diekman, Barnes, Robles, Bogie, Kike, Nate, Braiser, Hil, Vaz, all could be traded.

Yup which is a good thing.

[illinoisredsox]

Anyone notice every time the Jays needed it to, that pitcher mic thing seemed to stop working?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know it's still early, but I believe the SOX have already used every way a team can lose. But I have confidence tomorrow they will find another way.

Definitely Diekman , yes. But Strahm was brought in to get a groundball since he supposedly throws a s(t)inker . He gave up a flyball to a lower level batter after getting to 2 strikes.

Yup. Get rid of everyone. That will be 7 or 8 more reasons not to watch them.

[Thunder]

Better to get our August 2021 COVID related slump out of the way now

Sometimes I really think you have to be a masochist to be a baseball fan. It's a game that often makes you feel like a little kid who just had his candy stolen.

Perfect analogy.

 

[cukes]

Yup which is a good thing.

 

Get rid of these guys, fine, you have to find somebody that wants them. Every championship in every sport begins with the front office. This team is flat Benintendi is hitting 389

Who would want Barnes, Diekman, Brasier or Hill right now?

[Thunder]

I don't even understand why WE want Brasier

[mvp 78]

I don't even understand why WE want Brasier

 

2018 was a LOOOONG time ago for that guy.

[moonslav59]

I don't even understand why WE want Brasier

 

He's still not the first RP'er I'd demote or cut loose. He's not even second.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I don't even understand why WE want Brasier

 

For the reading of the will. He's giving away all his inheritance.

[moonslav59]

2018 was a LOOOONG time ago for that guy.

 

He was okay in '19 (101 ERA+/ 1.29 WHIP/ .722 OPS Against) and had just 37 IP from '20-'21, due mostly to injuries.

 

I'm not tooting his horn, but I'd axe 2-3 other guys before him.
