Am I the only one who doesn’t care about opposing teams players upbringing? Like cool, they’re from Massachusetts, do we really need background stories and interviews with the family members for these guys??

The only question I ever have for the Red Sox front office when Boston-area players make the majors is: why is he on any other team than ours?

Do we really want a guy with a 7 ERA on white sox?

No,  we don't need those stories, unless the player in question is one we are very likely to pick up when the White Sox are disbanded for failing to field a competitive MLB team.

Maybe the goal for the Red Sox is to return to the really old days when team rosters were somewhat regional, featuring local players.     

I'm sure Moon could give us an all-New England born/raised Red Sox team that would be worthy of  recognition.  Taken from the rosters beginning in 1903 through today.

Great job by Houck to rebound after that awful first inning

[mvp 78]

Kelly is either great or garbage

[Jasonbay44]

Here comes Kelly to try blowing this game

Yes, hard to say if he wasn't quite ready at game start or did he just pitch a 6 inning shutout ( after the HR)  ?

In a 2 run game, Zach Kelly scares me about like Weissert does.  Like an Easter box of chocolates, you never know what you're getting . Flame throwing strikes or gopher balls preceeded by 2 out walks

Kelly sucks. Why is he still on the team?

[Jasonbay44]

Holy s*** Kelly sucks 

[d-money]

Wasn’t even a bad first inning.  That ball was blown a good 30 feet to end up over the fence.

I’m more concerned about the start to this inning by Kelly.  

s***, now he loaded the bases.

[Tedballgame]

Get him out of there and DFA his ass!

[d-money]

What an implosion. Can’t make it up.

Why not just be honest ?  Kelly is not reliable  and will likely blow the lead  or put half of the WS on the IL with broken bones.

In other words, Zach is a sack...

[d-money]

Gotta limit the damage here .

Usually garbage

Same question as yesterday for Cora.    Should a starter who is rolling along pretty well and under 100 pitches be pulled so the reliever can open with a clean inning. 

I'd rather let the starter either get 1-3 outs or pull after first base runner.

Has been lately.  Bigger question was why him today when he tried to go 3 less than 48 hours ago.

Damnable 2 strike base hit cores 2, and the boys are trailing.

Is it he BP or is it still the pathetic offense's inability to pound less than average pitching ?

Bullpen losing this game to a little league team!

What a f***ing s*** show by this team. They better come back.

Ground ball base hits don’t bother me; it just as easily could have been hit right at someone.

Red Sox hitters could take a few lessons from that inning; put the ball in play and maybe something good will happen.

[Tedballgame]

Cora can be a real dope sometimes 

[Tedballgame]

If the Red Sox lose, this will be the second game that Kelly has lost for them against the White Sox. He needs to be sent down to AAA or DFAed. Today!!!

I mean Wilson still sucks. He had a near 6 ERA last season and is 37. That was best option to bring in?
