Well, at least, Abreu and Rafaela will be paid the MLB daily league minimum.

The princely sum of $4,444.44 per game, more money than their mates at home are likely making

[vegasbob]

A rare occurrence for Paxton giving up B to B HR's. Way to go Maple Syrup

[jad]

Nice start.

[vegasbob]

Jordan Lyles no hitting the unhitters from Beantown through 2. The calendar changed months, but not much else.

[Duran Is The Man]

bases loaded and no outs. like the rest of the team, Paxton just packing it in.

[vegasbob]

Rubber Arm Llovera getting ready to pick up sloppy Paxton .

 

He is getting pounded and Cora takes action. His arm is about as dead as it can be. Thanks for the 1.1 innings Maple

2nd inning and getting blown out by the second worst team in all of baseball. nice job BLoom. you've picked some real winners.

[FredLynn]

Yeah

But wait til next year

Right?

What a bunch of losers

I’d have left his ass in there to take the pounding.

[Maxbialystock]

From what I've seen (Sox down 6-0 in the 2d), it sure looks as though there was a team meeting or simply a general agreement not to win any more games.

[FredLynn]

At least we will likely finish ahead of the Yankees. So there’s that…..

i wouldn't be surprised. Bloom needs to draft another high school prospect that may or may not make it to the Bigs in the next 10 years.

[jung]

OB musing about how much the Rays have changed from the beginning of the year till now, Tampa being a stop on this road trip.

 

In other words "please tune in"

[vegasbob]

Which of these 2 teams is 53 games under .500 ?? This could be a monumental dumpster fire in September plus Oct 1.

[vegasbob]

Yoshi showing no recognition of his location on the field in terms of where the ball will land or hit the wall. Of course, it's early for him MLB career wise

I am glad you commented. I didn't have the heart. It would have been a good play if made...not a great play but a good play. Have to do your thinking on the fly and haul ass for the wall to even have a shot at catching something like that. Not a strong suit for Yoshi.

[vegasbob]

Devers showing no recognition of the pitch location in terms of his bat location. Of course, it is so early that his looooong contract hasn't even officially started yet

[vegasbob]

Wong still showing a lot of recognition on how to catch, pop, and throw out runners trying to steal

[Tedballgame]

I said over and over at trade deadline that they should sell high on Paxton. Bloom blew it!!!

[d-money]

Paxton has been a complete shitshow. Should have gotten rid of this guy looking back.

You mean the Sox aren’t still playing Houston?

Meanwhile Cy Lyles continues to have his way with the Boston Blooms.

[Duran Is The Man]

the Sox have 2 hits and no walks against a pitcher with record of 3-15, a -1.6 WAR, and a 6.51 ERA. unreal.

Not really unreal. The SOX have been embarrassed by rag arms more than a few times this season. As for trading Paxton, at the time of the TDL the SOX only had 3 healthy starters and at that time Paxton was their best one.

BTW, this is Lyles' second good start against the SOX this season.

The Red Sox are as broken as Dugy’s bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It took a changeup down the middle to get Devers out of his swoon.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nope, they're playing the A's twin brother.

I would be looking to trade Verdugo. Bloom could probably get a bucket of minor league players for him......well two anyway. That sounds like a deal that would be right up Bloom's ally.
