4/12 Angels come to Boston

[Oscars]

two errors, a HBP and a wild pitch in the first two innings. LOL...the shitshow has started early tonite.

Anyone here see where this is going?

 

Down 4-0 against this pitcher with the Sox popgun lineup, this game is over .

As for the defence, absolutely putrid.

SS is the premium fielding position on the field, and the Sox need to get a real one, or this will be Kike part 2.

Fans need to stop showing up to the park. This is a mediocre product for a big market team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unfortunately, the BRUINS aren't playing tonight.

Big Market? Those days are over. Have been for a while.

Bruins are just like the celtics though. When it matters in the end they choke. Idk when we will see a ship.

The owner is responsible for this product.

You're seeing one right now, The RMS TITANIC.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX total payroll of 180 million includes the 25 million retained for Sale.

 

If the SOX place Devers on the IL, they will have 84 million on injured reserve. So as of now, the 25 active players have a total payroll of about 70 million.

Yes. But it took a while.

[Duran Is The Man]

three hits and three errors thru five innings. the entire front office should be fired for building this pile of s***.

I'm afraid reality has set in for this team. It is a last place team which got off to a great but unsustainable start. All the flaws are being exposed in this 4 game losing streak. The blame lies with Bloom, Breslow (who did virtually nothing this past off season) and most of all, ownership. Why fans continue to support this product is beyond me. The roster is full of AAA players.

Thought I could start the thread and get something going, but the only thing going is me, out the door for a Friday night. Next volunteer for a game thread is welcome to step up on tomorrow's

Since 2011 the SOX have finished last in the AL East 6 times, not counting this season.

They've finished 1st 4 times

They've finished 3rd 2 times.

They've finished 2nd 1 time.

 

So for the most part it's either been feast or famine. Since 2020, it's mostly been famine.

Well, it still beats Dancin' With The Stars. I know; that's a very low bar.

Most good things do.

Btw, they did win two championships. I'd be amiss if I didn't mention that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder after 1918 at what point the SOX fans stopped talking about their previous 5 championships? I don't think many of us have reached that point yet, but that point will eventually be reached. Edited April 13, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Maybe there's a tiny upside to all this. Dalbec no doubt has had a kind of inferiority complex because every time he comes up to Boston he demonstrates he can't hit and, really, field either. But now he fits in perfectly--at last.

Kind of like finding a drinking establishment where you feel comfortable.

The Celtics are playing their scrubs tonight and are up 20. They are one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Much more interesting to watch their scrubs play than the Boston Red Bums. I’ll shut up about the Celtics.

We deserve a better baseball team. People do need to stop showing or show up and in unison all stand and turn their backs on the team.

[Duran Is The Man]

with three errors, the Sox now lead all of MLB in errors. woof***inghoo! we're #1.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec has made it into an art form to be behind in the count.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

with three errors, the Sox now lead all of MLB in errors. woof***inghoo! we're #1.

 

And we play like #2.

[redsoxrules]

They will be near the bottom again this year at this rate from what I've seen so far

But they gotta win a title though. Tatum and those boys need to bring a title.

[redsoxrules]

About to be 7-7 and have only played one great team so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't follow the NBA, but I do follow hockey. And one thing I've learned is the regular season doesn't mean shite once the PO's start. I guess that's a little less true with baseball, because half the league doesn't qualify for the PO's.

Last year they had a great chance but in the deciding game against Miami Tatum twisted his ankle on the first play. Barring significant injury they remain the favorites by far.

thing is, they've been one of, if not the worst field team for 7-8 years now, yet the idiot nerds in the front office seem clueless on how to fix this. i guess when they look for a solution, the answer is always: whatever's cheapest.

Well fielding stat computer analysis has never been at all as accurate as hitting stat computer analysis has been. You know....the NERD stuff. Not convinced that without their computers to help them they care about fielding. People tend to downplay the importance of what they don't understand.
