I always want what’s best the team. In this case it’s losing to get a better draft pick.

Meanwhile Gonzo can’t even make contact 

You can't seriously want them to lose to get a higher draft pick??? Thats insane. The baseball draft is a total crap shoot. Many high picks never see the majors. Its not like the NBA or NFL. I want them to win now. Forget a higher draft pick.

This team has s*** the bed so much recently. They have way to many guys who shouldn’t be playing every day getting way too many ABs

Calling back The Password and Campbell should help and shake things up a bit, They need or at least try something different ASAP. This offense is pathetic

Better draft pick? This from a guy who probably drinks COLT 45.

Colt 45 isn’t all that bad

It’s worth a try. The season is slipping away. They are Flopping.

Again

[Nineintime]

Why does Lowe’s hat look like it’s too small?  He looks like Akroyd the egghead

What? Our mighty clean-up batter hit a ball so hard it nudged an ant hill and slowed down just enough so he could leg out an RBI single.

Generally but not always a higher draft pick is more talented. 
Given the choice would you rather have pick 20 or pick 30?

The other good thing about choking again is that maybe they’ll finally get rid of Cora and Breslow.

And Refsnyder watches strike 3 right down the middle. 
 

Not right down the middle but definitely a lousy at bat, just like Gonzalez.

We should stand at the plate and watch stirike 3 fly by more often

He’s had that explained to him by multiple posters countless times.  like most things told to him, it doesn’t sink in.

Despite the current state of play. these two young guys were/are not ready yet.

His head  is oversized

Now let's go.

With two strikes in that situation you cannot let close pitches go by. You have to at least try to make contact

Hey Cora pinch run for Lowe with Hamilton. Good grief

I bet they can do way more than most of the current bats in a short stretch.

That mighty cleanup bat has driven in 2 of the runs tonight by putting the ball in play.

Agree.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox batters should try to get hit at the plate. Quit dodging.

[vegasbob]

Narvaez is very fatigued and arm weary at bat

6th inning is too early.  Lowe is likely to get one more PA.  Do you really want that AB  to go to Hamilton (or Sogard as a ph)?

I’d make a better GM.

[vegasbob]

It would be the Sox way to squeak into the #3 WC. so they could go to Seattle where the catcher has more HRs than the Sox Of combined.

Then Kennedy. Breslow and Cora would call it a success

[Jasonbay44]

Story comes up big again! 

[Tedballgame]

Yeah Baby!!!!

[vegasbob]

Story puts it in play. thank you Trevor

[FredLynn]

No way Bregman comes through
