9/14 Yankems @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[Old Red]

The month of June disguised how truly bad this team is.

 

Fantasy month of June I’ve called it many times.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to SOX FO:

 

If you have an ounce of decency, please don't draft pitchers. Give those kids a chance to develop in other organizations.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The troll only shows up if the Skanks are winning. He is a true front runner, fair weather fan.

 

I guess that's about the nicest things you can say about a guy who was banned from his own team's forum.

[Maxbialystock]

I take it all back because I just realized something. This horror show is not, repeat, not the fault of the Sox players. They are all dedicated professionals, but can't play at there optimum level without robo-umps calling the balls and strikes. I'm serious. I read it right here on talksox that the #1 issue for all pitchers and hitters--which is just about everyone--is accurate calls on balls and strikes. Without them, players are distracted into making errors, not being able to hit pitches, you name it.

 

So, until we can get this major, major issue solved, we are going to have to settle for, well, less than optimal performance. It's a shame, but that's baseball.

Nobody wants him in here either.

[Maxbialystock]

Kind of overboard, but get the point.

 

Of course it's overboard. Three freaking unearned runs, to say nothing of running up Bello's pitch count to 98. The veterans show the kid a thing or two about tanking, not just on the field, but at the plate too.

And I'm not forgetting last night either when Bogaerts and Devers torpedoed a very promising 10th inning rally.

When I see the word 'overboard,' I think of the Titanic, and when I think of the Titanic, I think of this year's SOX.

Bello’s pitch count was a lot of his own doing. He needs to be more economical with his pitches, and as bad as things have looked this year starting on opening day I really don’t think the players are tanking. They like their stats to much.

DFA both of them. I’m with you.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With this season's history of DFA'ing relievers it may be tougher for Bloom to sign new relief arms for next season.

It would be a real shame if Bloom missed out on the next Robles, Familia or Austin Davis.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

'Gut-punched' Boone proves that if a team has good starters, a good BP, and a good defense, the manager doesn't have to be anything but average.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It would be a real shame if Bloom missed out on the next Robles, Familia or Austin Davis.

 

He'll just find a different dumpster.

[Old Red]

Bogey certainly doesn’t look like someone going for the batting title tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogey is not having an exceptional night. Captain Obvious sends his regards.

[Oscars]

How about the middle order tonight?!! !

9 ABs, 7 strike outs, 1 hit, 1 walk

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still enjoy watching Stanton strike out. Maybe the ugliest swing in baseball history. Muscle bound moron.

[Old Red]

Ort hitting 99, and 100 tonight. I guess he doesn’t want Bloom to get that DFA pen out on him.

I think Kelly's safe, so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX catcher has done a few things Wong tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

This how you get your jollies off, jerk off?

 

I enjoyed that. How’s last place?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bazardo gave up no runs on less than 20 pitches. He's a keeper.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I enjoyed that. How’s last place?

 

How's no championship in 12 years?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How's no championship in 12 years?

 

13 after this season's PO's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's now or Devers.

[jacksonianmarch]

Big error there. Marwin needs to GTFO.

[jacksonianmarch]

Ha, JD missed the bag. Wow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD may not be able to hit anymore, but he is slow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

and clumsy.
