Early seems to be struggling a little bit with his offspeed stuff but he’s battling out there.  Kids got a little moxie to him. 

To me the key, as with Bell-boy , is that he wasn't ready for the first inning.

Now the real problem isn't rookie Early. It's that a team competing for a playoff slot didn't make serious efforts to bolster the pitching

Also that the Sox hitters K 9 times in 4.2 innings vs a 4.64 ERA thrower

Depending on just called up rookies to make the playoffs isn’t really a sound strategy. Sure wish Breslow didn’t whiff at the td

That’s been a problem all year. Last I checked they were fourth worst in baseball at striking out 

[FredLynn]

Another prime example of why these bums don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

Idiots

How 'bout that baserunning ??

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

If the Red Sox players were service vehicles, Duran would be a cement-mixer.

[Nineintime]

These guys look like the Pats today.  Doing whatever they can to give the game away.   Another base running s#%!show

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This team's 15 games over.500. Give them some props for greatly overachieving. There's more talented teams that don't have a much better record. In fact, some have a worse record.

[FredLynn]

Durans blunder cost us a run

[vegasbob]

Yoshida is trying hard to be the singles king. but he does make contact.

Can anyone hit an HR ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like the most disliked player on the team is getting his groove back.

[FredLynn]

Bases loaded =no runs

[vegasbob]

Hudson's ass puckered on that one

Just for laughs, do you ever say anything good about a Sox player. You don't have to answer because it's a rhetorical question.

[vegasbob]

Lowe is a slob of a hitter

[FredLynn]

Lowe is a bum too

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lowe's allergic to bases loaded.

”Bello has had a pretty good season. His current ERA is 3.35”

Also, give props to the AL for being so weak this season.

[Duran Is The Man]

this loser was DFA'd by the Nationals, the 2nd worse team in the NL. no surprise he can't hit s***.

At this point I’d rather see Hamilton on there. Put Romy at first.  Nationals knew he was used parts.  This team just can’t step up in these situations.  Duran with his brain freeze cost us a run rid hr along with our third base coach

Agreed: Lowe is a bust

Except he's been a bum in his last couple starts and so has that other bum Gio. So many bums on this team. Have you noticed that Fred?

[Nineintime]

Hudson is a mess over at third.  Costs us a run at home and then practically tackled Bregman because of his indecisiveness as the coach.  Unreal.

No props for the Flops. Too many seasons in a row not producing a competitive team

Giolito has been a pleasant surprise. Show me a post I wrote where I called Bello or Gio a bum.

Try to pay attention!

If someone is a bum-and we have plenty in this team-I’ll so label him, If not I won’t.

Can a player be a bust and a bum at the same time? Curious people want to know.

The answer is complicated
