10/01 SOX @ Jays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The best way to describe the SOX is in policeman's terms "move on, nothing to see here."

[Bellhorn04]

Inauspicious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora should do Bogey a favor and sit him the last 4 games so that he finishes with an above .300 BA. He may get more money as a FA if he finishes over .300.

[Bellhorn04]

The Jays are our daddy.

[FredLynn]

They are done winning this year.

Still waiting for Henry to apologize for the bums masquerading as baseball players he shoved down the throats of the fans this year.

I’ll have a long wait I think.

[a700hitter]

Stinkowski is in. It’s only downhill from here and it is already 7-0. And we don’t have Plawecki to pitch in these games anymore.

[a700hitter]

Wink’s metrics are horrible. He’s awful, and he was the sleeper in the Benintendi trade. LOL!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Defensively, Kike looks like he'd make a good everyday SS. It's too bad he can't hit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Jays are our daddy.

 

Except for the O's the AL East is our daddy. The SOX have an extended family.

Back to the basic formula , the 4 F's : 1. Fall behind early ; 2. Fail to hit for 5 or 6 innings; 3. Forget to throw strikes; 4. Failure of the bullpen guys to hold the deficit close. All 4 pathways will result in a failure to win.

I think de la Rosa was and still is the "sleeper." Wink and Cordero were the headliners. (LOL)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's gonna cost a lot more than 60 mil to fix the holes in this current SOX team.

[vegasbob]

Down 10-0 in top 9, I have no concerns that the Sox will damage the Boston-Toronto run differential this season. It is an all-time club record that should stand as long as TSW's .406

[moonslav59]

21 hits to 5 is almost worse than the 10-0 score.

[harmony]

Perhaps the Red Sox can hang a loss on the Blue Jays come Sunday.

This team quit playing awhile back. Anyway this season has been a huge failure. It started off with a crappy start right from the beginning. I still find it hard to believe they’re this bad but it is what it is. This team has been playing dead for weeks.

I have been saying for months there is no motivation or morale boosting on this team, in any sport it starts with the front office and management and we are anemic, the past doesn't count if you can not try to maintain being competitive, we are less than competitive, we are embarrassing. Blue Jays improved, Orioles improved, low paying Rays are always steady and we went backwards, why, nobody to crack the whip with the ability to improve players attitude or give them good help when they need a boost

Teams do tend to look unmotivated when they're losing.

 

You can blame it on Cora if you want. I think he did what he could, considering his starting rotation was decimated by injuries and his bullpen was mostly a pigpen.

It's like the chicken or egg coming first.

Agreed.
