Amazing how fast a team can turn to shite.

To be honest before 6/25 they weren't exactly gold bricks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far, Rutschman making the TDL trade look good.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gamboa is the newest 'white flag' pitcher.

I don't believe he's had a hit yet as a Sox. I'm guessing he's saving them for the PO's

One of your better retorts.

My guess is that these losers will choke away the rest of the season having given away three excellent prospects for nothing. BresLOW needs to go. He failed the fans over the winter.

At least it’s football season now and we won’t have to put up with these bums much longer 

[iortiz]

So basically White is Hamilton 2.0. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The best thing going for the Sox is the weak AL.

Sox are back to sloppy baseball.

Yes, hitting is not effective,  short stint starters burn BPs, defense is not as sharp especially with 2 outs

 

Durbin would have been better holding that ball, although the play. could have been made

[vegasbob]

Durbin getting tested on tough throws to 1B

Counting tonight they're 1-6 since returning to Earth.

And the real bad news is that I believe the starting pitching is gonna get worse as the season moves along. There's no reason to believe that the BP will not get worse and will even be more overused.

[vegasbob]

Duran is truly clueless at any change of speed pitch.

The team is as flawed as it was earlier in the season

Losses need to stop but the pitching hitting and defense must improve to get a win

They never left. The team is mediocre because BresLOW failed to obtain offense over the winter. Every team has a period of playing well. We had an exceptional 35 games. But overall they are mediocre. And that’s on the GM

[vegasbob]

Rutschman is fat who K 's

The losses need to continue. The young SPs need to be rested in preparation for next year. Let’s not blow out their arms for nothing. And get rid of Duran finally. Then fire BresLOW

I'm guessing the O's FO is still laughing over that trade.

[Duran Is The Man]

i still cant believe this is the same team that went 32-5 or 30-5 or whatever it was.

[Oscars]

Breslow made a mistake by not adding a back end starter at the deadline, as the young starters start to fade, due to the increase in innings load.

See what happens when they give Rafaela a day off?

(More of the same...LOL)

I thought we needed a big bat (pref a Catcher and RHB) and a solid SP'er.
