Alcala time?

Time ran out, Fred. Al is off on his journey

[vegasbob]

Here is Alcala in spirit--Jordan Hicks.  This is a real pretender and

total sack of crap

Sox should have been pounding Wacha tonight .  Story or Bregman need to step up and lead it.

Anthony's fly ball to Yaz need to carry about 2' further

I am sure Grandpa Carl was proud of young yaz great catch

Hicks can’t pitch well in tight games. Doesn’t have the makeup.

Jordan Hicks really sucks, acquiring him was probably worst part of trading Devers

[FredLynn]

Winning streak had to end eventually I guess. 
I’ve already seen enough of May….

Easy to say after the fact.

He’s inconsistent. He has pitched well sometimes-when he can throw strikes-but at other times he is awful.

I wrote that they would lose when it was 3-2

He has a 6.41 ERA and -1.2 WAR (and getting worse) he just sucks.

You predict them to lose every game. You don’t know s*** and just hope for the worst lol

No, genius, he was DOA'd.

My judgement is IMPECCABLE! I am rarely wrong here.

Great catch by Duran

Little league play by Rafaela. Another error

Again

Yeah, I don’t know why Rafaela would think the first baseman would be on first base.

Yes,  Tuesday.    regrettably they can't dump Hicks as easily .

Brilliant rejoinder

Might help if he actually LOOKED to see who was covering the bag

face it -we got nothing but salary relief in the Devers trade.

So they were already behind. I bet somebody on the Titanic said it was going to sink after it hit the iceberg.

Last place I'd look.

I only state that they are going to lose when I know it to be a fact. I graciously share that information with others here.

A little gratitude would be appreciated 😉

I know Yoshida can slash and hit to left but he continues to pound the ground with rollovers to 2Bman.  Despite his contract, he may have trouble being on the 2026 active roster.   The Sox FO hid him as long as they could this year for good reason.

[Tedballgame]

Chaim whiffed when he signed Yoshida. I don’t know what he saw in him to give him that kind of contract.

That was Fred. He knocked a kid over to steal the kid's seat on the life raft.

It’s easy to predict that they are going to lose when they are already behind late in the game. I predicted today that the sun was going to set in the west and rise tomorrow in the east.

There should no longer be a leash on Yoshida.

Let him run free.
