This team isn’t worth a game thread. I see no purpose in chronicling our misery. It has been a long time since we have have been out of competition before September rolled around. It is reminiscent of the days of Benny the Boob.
People are talking about Bogey having an off year and he is leading the league in hitting. That is how good he is. The Red Sox should lock him up long term and build the team around him, Story and Devers.
Story is an excellent fielder, base runner and base stealer. He also is a potent, albeit streaky, power bat. When he is hot, he will carry the team on his back, but you need other consistent bats in the lineup for when he goes cold.
They have lost 3 in a row and 9 of their last 12. They are in last place, and September hasn’t started yet. At some point, Cora could enter Joe Kerrigan territory if they keep losing like this.
