8/06 Jays @ SOX

[a700hitter]

No pitching, lackluster defense, and dead bats.... this needs to change quick..... we are starting to dig a hole here at this point in the season.

They have the look of a team that is quitting… including the manager.

[Tedballgame]

Game is over thanks to Duran or Verdugo not catching that ball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There were plenty of other guys he could have traded and got something in return.

 

In the case of JD, there was a league wide lack of interest.

[d-money]

How does the home crowd look today? Any empty seats?

[vegasbob]

Now at 50 pitches+ , 5 straight 2 out hits . Virtual game over in the 3rd inning

[d-money]

This team should finish dead last in the division once again. They should.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don’t think winning 2 WS for Boston was screwing the Sox. Ridiculous.

 

Reading comprehension issues? I was referring only to last year's trade deadline.

[Tedballgame]

I don’t know about that. The simple fact is this team did nothing at the deadline. I mean you can’t wait for your pitchers to come back. That’s why they’re screwed. Too many injuries and need better starting pitching.

 

He still should have sold off pieces that would have brought in talent. Paxton, Turner, Schrieber, Dugo should have all been traded.

[Maxbialystock]

Duran should have had it, but it wasn't an easy play. The real issue is that the Jays are hitting and the Sox are not.

They should have sold everything that they could sell and then brought in a new GM for next season.

The SOX run more rehab than a detox clinic.

Crazy how this franchise has become a small market team trying to add minor leaguers and seeing if they can guild a farm system. They’re not known for that.

There will be tomorrow vs the Royals. Looking at the schedule, I notice Wednesday's game vs Royals is "Kike Hernandez World Baseball Classic Bobblehead". I wonder if i have enough time to get to Boston just to get that collectible piece of s***.

[moonslav59]

One thing about last year's trade deadline I wasn't aware of until recently was the fact that Bogey had a no-trade clause in his contract. So there was no way Bloom could have traded him anyway. Bogey screwed the SOX.

 

Players waive their no trade clauses, very often.

 

Saying "no way" is not accurate.

[Jasonbay44]

This game seems like a good one to bring out tequila for

I was too. JH screwed the Red Sox when he hired Bloom.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogey specifically told Bloom not to trade him.

You may not be far off at all. They are certainly dead in the water with the sharks circling. That clubhouse atmosphere must be thick.

Especially with Bogaerts knowing that he was not resigning with the Sox. Too much easy money out there , but not in Boston.

[wyo-sox]

Duran should have had it, but it wasn't an easy play. The real issue is that the Jays are hitting and the Sox are not.

 

spot on... if one play, or one error, costs you a game.... I mean come on... you will always have to overcome a bad play, a bad call, or bad luck to win games. We just don't overcome anything last few weeks.

[wyo-sox]

Even at .500.... this team has been fun to watch... today does not feel fun. But it is baseball- that can change in a hurry.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The trouble with picking up items at Goodwill is the product in a lot of cases will perform well for a little while and then will malfunction.

[vegasbob]

Murphy should not have been out there to give up another blast.

[Jasonbay44]

Pathetic performance

[Jasonbay44]

I think I’m gonna go play MLB the show and take out my anger on some random kid online

[wyo-sox]

6-0... yuck. I don't say this often.... but I just feel like turning it off today.

Watch out if some kid shows up under the name CBloom. He is a pinball wizard at The Show. Knows all the analytics but could never play the game for real

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the words of Yogi Berra "It ain't over in Boston; it's ovah."

[Jasonbay44]

Big AB for Duran

[Jasonbay44]

Not Durans day
