Story is totally useless 

Get rid of the bum!

[vegasbob]

Story does it again. Pitch was on the edge but Trevor wasn't ready

He’s just not good.  

He STINKS

Opposing pitching coaches regarding Story.  Sliders away sliders away sliders away.

Don’t we have a pretty good SS prospect?

Bring him up and DFA Story

[vegasbob]

Lugo is not a strong pitcher but is benefiting from Sox batters passivity. 

Got 2 runs but still trail and pressure Gray further. 

With Abreu on 2nd, Story takes strike 3,  and Sogard watches a M&M on strike 2, then whiffs.

[FredLynn]

I think they are intentionally tanking to get the softer #3 WC. They can’t stink this bad-right?

I seriously doubt you're doing any actual thinking.

Don’t get me wrong dude could hit but that wasn’t his approach. His approach was to get on base 

His approach was to swing at strikes and, IMHO, he was the greatest hitter of all time.

The FLOPS are embarrassing themselves 

[FredLynn]

Duran strikes out

What a surprise

How long do we keep torturing ourselves with one of the worst hitters in the league in Duran. 

[vegasbob]

That bottom 6th posed no challenge to Hoffman.

[FredLynn]

Winning run on 1B

We have a lot of them-Story, IKF, Wong etc

[Bagwell Anderson]

Is there any update on Mead or Yoshida?

Yoshida was predicted to miss the rest of the season 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In a 37 game stretch this season the Sox were 32-5

In the remaining 110 games the Sox are 48-62.

Neither of these stats define this team, however, this team, just based on number of games, is way, way closer to  being defined by the 110 game record.

Neither will play again in '26

They’re just not very good. I don’t think the series against the Yankmees will last three games.

Breslow has to go

[vegasbob]

Unless the Lansdowne lepers pull this one in 8th or 9th, they  will again have a losing record at Fenway. 

They are currently not enjoyable

16-16 in their last 32. not exactly killing it lately.

This offense is beyond anemic.

Still have not locked in a .500 season

I blame BresLOW. 
It didn’t have to be this way 

[vegasbob]

Opposing leadoff hitters vs. Weissert are showing an OBP of .475

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Story.

Bad throw saved and made into an out after all by Story

Hopefully, after this entire season is over, I can understand what the Rutschman trade was all about. Right now it looks like shite.
