8/5 vs Jays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Between base running blunders and shoddy defense and other things I won't post in fear of angering someone, it's quite surprising this team is still over .500.

On the positive side I've liked Urias' offensive side so far. Looks like he wants to be the SOX regular 2nd baseman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks, Jacques, it's a one run game again. Nice pitching....NOT

 

Well, Jock really isn't the closer. You may be blaming the wrong guy.

[Duran Is The Man]

stupid f***ing base running mistake EVERY f***ing game. f*** you Cora and f*** you McGuire.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can the SOX break the 3 run barrier? They've only done it once in the last 7 games.

 

4 runs today. In the lyrics of a KINKS' song "Catch me now, I'm falling."

Finding ways to lose, again.

 

Not good at all.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

f*** that idiot McGuire. f***ing idiot Febles too. Also, if you notice, Wong is always about a foot or two short of a hit

 

Wong got wronged on a couple of excellent defensive plays.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kenley was warming up to come in in the 9th. Possible he's not feeling well? Don't get the post game show, so maybe someone will find out why Jock was put in that situation.

[Tedballgame]

Whoever is the baserunning coach for the Red Sox should be fired. They are terrible. Although, McGuire must be stupid. What an idiot.

3rd straight series loss. I guess it will just feel that much better when the team goes on a 15 game win streak, burns through the WC trash, takes the ALDS and ALCS in sweeps and then wins game 7 of the 2023 WS in a walkoff . Can't wait

[bmattioli]

37 days until Jets football..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If it's true Cora doesn't want to use Kenley in back to back games, then, shite, the SOX should have traded him.

Vegas, you've been watching the movie MAJOR LEAGUE too often.

Cora says the team took a step back, he is down on Verdugo for his own reasons, it was baserunning mistake thinking the ball was out. AC is not in a good mood, understandably so.

 

He added that this was his worst day in the organization since he came to Boston.

i wish I could watch Major League baseball when tuning into the Sox broadcasts.

Verdugo did something to get benched today. He is not very mature.

I'm not exactly happy about it either, but that still doesn't answer why Kenley didn't pitch in the 9th.

He was probably just warming up in case they tied the game or took the lead.

no s***. 3rd base coach is a gotdamn idiot.

he should. they are back in last place, his defense is worst in MLB, the bullpen is garbage, the third base coach is a moron and, apparently, Jensen can't pitch because ....he's being saved for tomorrow.

If Kenley was being saved for tomorrow, shouldn't that 'save' be added to his stats?

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Or was today a blown save because they didn't bring him in

[Maxbialystock]

I would not have sent Jansen to pitch in a 9th inning in which the Sox were already down 4-3. He's a closer.

 

This was a game the Sox were determined to lose, what with two errors, an egregious baserunning error, etc. They got lucky when Devers reached down well below the strike zone to get a three run dinger that required perfect contact to get out.

[Jasonbay44]

Jacques needs to be cut asap. I don’t get why he’s on the team.

Agree. The players can whine about them not adding pitching, but it’s the position players who consistently don’t advance runners. It’s the position players making physical and mental errors. Once in a while is one thing, but it’s too common.

[illinoisredsox]

Cora adamant about not saying why Verdugo didn’t play other than saying “today one guy wasn’t available”. Said there a chance he plays tomorrow.

 

Verdugo did something that really got to Cora.

[Duran Is The Man]

why the hell would Cora save him?

[Oscars]

Devers on pace for 20 errors.

Yuk

[Randy Red Sox]

Which is probably why he was on the trade block at the deadline
