8/7 @ Royals

[Jasonbay44]

If you guys want good news, Frankie Montas is getting rocked in his Yankees debut. Arenado just hit a go ahead 3 run bomb. 6-4 cardinals in 2nd inning. Way better atmosphere than this s*** fest of a game

[moonslav59]

Duran should be play winter ball and practice two things: defense and bunting.

 

How about practicing putting on another team's uniform?

[Jasonbay44]

JBJ makes that catch

[vegasbob]

Pham should have phanned.

 

Phuque Pham. He's not phit phor a phielding gem

[moonslav59]

This Red Sox team is a total embarrassment to all prior Red Sox teams, inculding Valentine's team. KC is a triple A team but so is the Red Sox.

 

They've improved vastly since dumping Beni on the Yanks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another SOXER learning to play his position in the major leagues.

[moonslav59]

Davis and danish also aren’t Sox prospects. They’re AAAA players who’ve been with numerous teams.

 

True nuff.

[vegasbob]

How about practicing putting on another team's uniform?

 

Duran is no natural OF'er . He shortarmed that flyball as he neared the wall

[Tedballgame]

JBJ makes that catch

 

JBJ is done. It was a mistake to trade for him. Waste of money and Sox got worse. A lot of centerfielders make that play.

[moonslav59]

JBJ makes that catch

 

More earned but really unearned runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some 2nd basemen can adjust to the outfield, some can't.

IMO Duran needs to be somebody else's problem.

Not really the point, but I don’t disagree

[jung]

I got here late but in the few innings I have seen him Crawford did not appear to have anything today. Just a question of how many runs Cora makes him eat.

[Tedballgame]

If it were not for having my nephew get married in Wisconsin Friday I would have made the trip to KC to see the Sox. What a break!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might as well bring in Davis.

[Jasonbay44]

MJ Melendez is our Red Sox pitchers dad apparently

[vegasbob]

Winners find a way to win, Losers find a way to lose. Good thing the Sox have a day off tomorrow to work around their homes.

[Tedballgame]

Not really the point, but I don’t disagree

 

Yes, JBJ would have made that catch.

[Tedballgame]

Might as well bring in Davis.

 

Or Arroyo.

[a700hitter]

Pathetic taking a beat down from KC.

[jung]

The Sox just don't want to be here today. I think they would have trouble with Sisters of the Poor, in their full nuns robes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If it were not for having my nephew get married in Wisconsin Friday I would have made the trip to KC to see the Sox. What a break!

 

 

I giess this series can be referred to as A FIELD OF BROKEN DREAMS.

[Jasonbay44]

Pathetic taking a beat down from KC.

 

That’s pretty much summing up this season: PATHETIC

[Larry Cook]

Our offense is weak.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Or Arroyo.

 

Plawecki? He's had a little experience. Has a good fastball disguised as a change-up.

Last year as a 22-year-old MJ Melendez led all minor leaguers with 41 home runs between Double A and Triple A:

Melendez has a bright future.

Blame game:

 

1. John Henry for hiring Bloom.

 

2. Bloom. He is way out of his league. He put together a dysfunctional team and has not improved it at all.

 

3. Cora. His moves this season have been mostly puzzling.

 

4. The players.

 

It all adds up to a disaster of a season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Extra Innings just called me and asked if I wanted a refund.

I wasn’t taking a shot at him. I know he’s going to be very good, just more frustration with Sox
