Well that was a quick game over today. Dang did not even get through my first cup of coffee. Another L at home.

Another lost series to a beatable team above the Sox in the AL East

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's a murderous battery the Sox have. A game killer on the mound and a rally killer behind the plate.

[vegasbob]

If the Sox had hit for a 9 run 5th, Bello would be in line for a W

The Orioles are clearly a better team, as I predicted over the winter. The DISGUSTING FLOPS are one of the worst teams in baseball. They are an embarassment. And BresLOW is still being paid. 

Henry owes us an apology.

Selling the team is preferred over an apology.

Why can't Gradum fix Narvy's swing?!?!?!?

It could have been worse. Frank McCourt could have bought the team.

We deal strictly with reality, not your make believe bs about how things could be worse.

I'm not sure the interim manager is deciding on whether Bello is starting or coming in for the 2nd by himself. That's probably between him, Bailey and Breslow. 

Hunter Dobbin’s father apparently had a tweet or x post that said Breslow and his nerds are making all decisions both pitching and hitting and that even Bailey has very little input as to how the pitching staff is used.  If it even has a scintilla of truth to it …

The “Sell the team” chants should stop. Now.  For one thing, it’s not going to happen.

”Fire Breslow” should replace it; that one might be beneficial and it needs to happen ASAP.

I would guess that there is more than a scintilla of truth that Tracy was emasculated the moment he arrived at Fenway .

This is Breslow's team and show. The results are public record and it is not pretty. Well, maybe pretty bad

Bredlow’s nerds won’t let him.  I’m surprised Durbin going outside the organization for some help (a move that seems to have paid off at least a little) hasn’t gotten him sent down.

Those chants are not mutually exclusive. 

"Sell the team; fire BresLOW"

Nice ring to it. I am not watching the bums. Hopefully the fans are giving management an earfull at the game.

I'd like another source rather than the guy who lied about the Yankees drafting him twice TBF.

Do they have any options left on Bello?  He is a train wreck and needs to work out a lot of things.

Breslow is here through this offseason. Strap in everyone. 😶

Yes! They could send him to WOO after the game.

I am sure you are correct re: timing

Same for Tracy who was a useful sap for Breslow and had nothing to lose except a comfortable life in Worcester.  I hope he has enough friends in baseball that he gets other opportunities

I would love to hear Breslow/Bailey opinion on what they see with Bello and the 1st inning mess.  

We never will though.  My guess is that  BBs problems won't be cured in Worcester playing baseball.

Tracey seems fine enough. I think he'll be a baseball coach lifer no matter what happens here. At least now he's getting a nice pay bump.

[FredLynn]

They are talking about taking on a bad contract to get a good RH bat. Ridiculous. They have been sellers since opening day.

Breslow doesn't do big media spots like other CBO's. He'll field calls or do one on ones, but won't take the podium unless something very big happens. The only time he as done so this season was after the Cora firing.

But they could lose by 8-2 instead! Or maybe even get back to .500 by September!

Won’t disagree there, but when you have the nerds telling Jim Rice not to talk to the young hitters because what he’s saying doesn’t match “our” program, there’s at least some smoke that it could be happening.

It’s not Bailey’s place to say anything and Breslow won’t send him down because Craig might have to admit he made a mistake with the extension.

[vegasbob]

At least Contreras went deep in a futile effort that was over with 2 outs in the first

[vegasbob]

This game was worse than it looks, and that's bad news.

Bello can't be a true starter.

The offense has little consistency

The home record and series results worsen.

To even climb back to .500 is a hill too far for a team that can't win at home.

The Nation is rising up with malice towards the King and his jester

The O's I'm sure are looking for another starting pitcher, so they're definitely not looking at Bello.

I'm so done with him. I got everything I needed to finish today done in the morning so I could watch a Wednesday afternoon get a way game. Within ten minutes in the top of the first the game was over! The next six games should be the measuring stick of what this team does at the trading deadline.

not just that one, but the idiotic Campbell extension as well. having one underperforming player in AAA making MLB money is bad. having two is an indictment of him and his nerd's ability to assess talent.
