What a complete s*** show. Hard to watch. No leaders just getting killed every game. Crappy starting pitching. A 203 million disaster.

 

lethargic, comatose, unmotivated, this team has serious internal problems, championship's start with the front office and they are complete duds, no excuses, general manager is horrendous, field manager has an ego problem, players do not give a s***, total embarrassment and I'm in Jersey listening to the crap and I Told You So's, I have had it with worrying about the trade deadline, Babe Ruth couldn't help this team, face facts they suck, all managers who never went to a series or who never won a series are better than we are, face it, excuses are for losers, I am watching baseball too long and this is a disgrace

9 PAs for Duran, Dalbec & Cordero: 9 Ks!

 

Leaves a good feeling about the second half, doesn’t it?

 

Its time to give up on this team. They seriously need to think of themselves as in a rebuilding mode. Get rid of the deadwood. Maybe in 2-3 years this team will become relevant again because it sure isn't relevant now.

[iortiz]

Do you think Dalbec can hit AA pitching?

 

Dalbec has his days counted as professional baseball player.

If we have a big sell off, he'll get 2 more months to build up his stock- trade or otherwise.

If he keeps striking out 4x a game he won’t have any stock-trade value at all.

True, but at least we’ll know for sure, he’s not part of our future plans, something we might already be nearly certain about.

Dalbec is overmatched at the ML level.

My concern is that Duran also looks overmatched. How many of these players are we going to whiff on?

Dalbec was a 4th round pick and Duran a 7th. Just making the bugs means neither was really a whiff.

Watching JDM flail away at the A-S game in his first AB told me he doesn't do that low outside thing just for our entertainment. But to broadcast to the Bb World that he roll s like that on a big stage just cost us in potential returns in a couple weeks.

He's probably been flailing at that pitch his whole career.

He's probably been flailing at that pitch his whole career.

 

Some fans, me for sure, have been perplexed about that pitch for five years. And because of that, why any pitcher would ever throw him a fastball for a strike...

 

But the worst thing right now and for the future for Sox fans is that where JD had one weakness, Trevor Story swings and misses at just about anything.
