Tigers (Valdez) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 4/19/26, 4:35pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Does this team need a jolt, or is this just a bad stretch of baseball that will pass on its own?

We need a big bounce back game from Crochet.

Cora says our batters "are trying to do too much." Hmm....

They're succeeding at doing too little.

It's early yet. Moon, because I respect your knowledge of baseball, would you notify me when it's not early yet?

At least Cora didn't say "we have to play better." That's his usual go to response.

GC didn't get the memo.

The worm killers would be a good  nickname for this Sox offense.

That means so much coming from a guy who emptied his bench to make a lineup to face a two time Cy Young winne

Mayer experiencing left hand pitching by being benched by the Sox genius manager.

Please promote Cora from the managerial position.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh,oh  Sox now forced to score 2 runs. That might be difficult.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bad pitching+ Bad hitting= Go! Bruins.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess our temporary Ace is Suarez until further notice.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Come to see the Sox Ace; stay for the shelling.

[illinoisredsox]

Scary part is how fast he’s lost it the last two starts.  Today was.decent and then all of a sudden bam.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Come to see the Sox offense; are you insane?

Hey, they got one run.  That should be enough, right?

[Tedballgame]

Celtics looked great today and we have the Bruins tonight. Like Meatloaf sang, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad".

It makes pitching more difficult when your team has a non-existing offense.

[Tedballgame]

After seeing this team for 21 games I think I can objectively say that "THEY STINK!!!!!!"

Yes, if Bob Gibson is your pitcher. Unfortunately, the Sox don't have a Bob Gibson.

He has to pitch a shut out to win. This offense is non-existent. It looks like we were sold a bill of goods on Roman Anthony. He does not look good at all. Contreras and Abreu look like the only two hitters. Maybe Cedanne.

Tim McCarver said Bob Gibson was the luckiest pitcher in baseball. Whenever he pitched, the other team didn't score.

Even Gibson lost 9 games the year he had that 1.12 ERA.

If there's any chemistry on this team, it smells like Hydrogen Sulfide.

The Cards' that season had a Sox offense.

Everybody that season had a Sox offense.  IIRC, Yaz was the only AL hitter to clear .300.  The All-Star game thst year was 1-0 on an unearned run.

Andruw Monasterio batting second?  Cora has clearly forgotten all the metrics that got him hired in the first place…
