Red Sox (TBD) vs Brewers (Civale): 5/27/25, 7:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Who's starting tonight for the Sox?

[Brandon Glick]

Looks like Richard Fitts will take the ball tonight! The Brewers are more beatable than they've been in years past.

[mvp 78]

Yeah, I think it's Fitts. He went less than 40 pitches last time out. May only go about 55 today. Could use a guy like Newcomb! 🥸

Just so everyone knows, Ralaela has play 60 games at 3B in the minors.

Sure we want his Gold Glove in the center field. That was before Bregman, that was before Story's pathetic performance at short on top of Casas being out for the year.

We need all the bullets we can muster. One of those is Anthony.

Desperate time calls for desperate measures.

Get rid of/bench Story.

Every game you waste is another step backwards for the organization.

Cora mentioned him as a backup to a backup at 3b.

Refsnyder says the Sox suck right now.

Duh.

It appears that Ref is the team leader by default.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I expect a battle between the Sox and Toronto for last place. The O's seem to be getting their act together.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

IMHO, there are two players making a ton of money who could never be team leaders; Devers and Soto.

[jad]

I guess I don't know what a 'team leader' is.   Was Ted a leader?  How about Manny?  Sale?   Boggs?   Did any of the teams you played on or for have a 'leader'?  Why should you 'need a leader' in an individual sport like baseball?

The Sox losing Bregman for any amount of time bites, can they start getting some hits with guys in scoring position? .500 baseball gets harder to watch with each passing week, and this team has shown no signs that they can play with the consistency needed to be a top tier team. 2B is still a hole, Story just plain sucks, strikeout machine, one of their worst free agent signings ever. Put Yoshida at 1B?  lets hope they break this wrong way streak toight at 3. 

[Tedballgame]

I've said this a lot over the past few seasons but this lineup tonight has to be one of the worst ones ever in Sox history.

Worst Sox FA signing ever? Nope, there's actually been worse.

Sorry, you did post one of their worst FA signings ever. Story does qualify for that. It's a large group.

[Nick]

When you are led to believe Story and Rafaela are good players on the roster you have problems.

Panda has to be the worst in the last 20 years.  He never gave a damn.

Story hasn’t been a good one, but he does have the injury excuse, and him busting his ass to get back on the field last September to try and help the team get to the postseason counts for something in my book.  Injuries and age caught up to him early, but it’s not like he let himself get out of shape to cause the injuries (and  for the record, the Sox do need to move on from him at this point).

 

[Nick]

We have Abreu Campbell Story Rafaela all slumping. 

You can add Hamilyon and Wong also.

[illinoisredsox]

Can hardly wait for tomorrow; Bello in a day game vs. the Brewer’s ace.  What can possibly go wrong?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Right now there's one reason to watch the Sox. If they bring up Anthony, there will be two reasons.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Duran.

Let me count the ways.

[Oscars]

Abreu’s cold stretch continues .

He’s hitting .174 in his last 7 games, and has 3 RBI’s in his last 15 games 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Story.

That would be considered hot for this Sox offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox hitting a lot of elephant's A-holes. They're high but they stink.

Promote him back to Woo.

Compared to Story, Rafaela is Bobby Witt, Jr
