Red Sox (Sandoval) vs Blue Jays (Cease): 08/11/26, 7:07 PM

[FredLynn]

One more run and I’m gonna have to call it

[Tedballgame]

This game will be out of reach in a minute.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No matter what happens at least we had an exciting 6 weeks.

[FredLynn]

Durbin doesn’t make many errors but this one probably cost us the game

Too bad the season isn’t six weeks long 

[FredLynn]

Contreras is definitely sucking

The Sox were awesome for 6 weeks and they've been less than mediocre for 12 weeks so far this season.

It was a fun six weeks. But now they are doing what the Flops usually do this time of year. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up missing the playoffs

Abreu catches Rafaela disease and Ks on a ball a foot outside

Well, Story will be returning soon, while Crochet and Anthony continue to be MIA. However, Crochet does appear to be a good cheerleader on the bench. Is there a WAR number for good cheerleading?

Story will be in the Flops lineup playing for the Rangers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At this point I'd argue that Guerrero is the Sox most effective player.

This is how losing streaks are born. Losing winnable games, blowing leads, errors, losing track of outs, swinging wildly at pitches out of the zone.

Are we looking at 5-32?

[FredLynn]

I’m calling it

This one is ovah! Again 

[FredLynn]

Duran better try to steal

[FredLynn]

Make it four

[vegasbob]

If Duran can't steal 2B , his longevity shortens.  It is one of the reasons he is still around.

OTOH, I am not a fan of running on 3-2  counts. If you are going, do it a couple pitches earlier

[FredLynn]

Flops concede the game by bringing in a guy who has never appeared in the majors before.

Wise decision

He needs to be sent down immediately. 

[FredLynn]

It’s August. 
Time for the Flops to choke 

[FredLynn]

Outta here

Chokers

[vegasbob]

Today's Oh'fers; Yoshida at leadoff,  Contreras with a hammie. and Durbin slumping. 

[vegasbob]

Another costly 2 out blunder by Martinez , HBP moving a runner to 2nd with 2 outs followed by a double.

No guts pitching and poor hitting.

Par for the course for these bums this time of year. Fortunately the Patriots season starts on Thu with a preseason game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Return with us now to those thrilling days of April, May and most of June, the Red Sox slide again.

[vegasbob]

4th straight loss to a sub .500 team.

2nd straight series loss.  

Who knew ?

This is a 4 games series, so the Sox won't lose this series until tomorrow.

[FredLynn]

Its August. Must be choking time for the Flops of Boston. Return to mediocrity.

i have seen maybe 10-12 Sox games this year and i'd be shocked if he hit over .100 in those games

our line-up is pathetic  Making me yearn for the return of Story.  Is Anthony going to play any games the rest of the year??  It is obvious that Crochet is done for the season. Breslow mortgaged our future by trading 3 of our top 5 prospects for a C who almost certainly won't be here past whatever season we have in 2027.  And then he traded our #4 overall pick for a LH reliever,. Oh my gawd--did I miss anything??
