Rubby is clearly not finishing his fastball. It is leaking out up and away. They are able to lay off it and his off speed stuff is a sitting duck. Yet, the coaching staff seems to be in a coma. No one has run out there to straighten him out.

It's nice to be able to discuss sports with a mature reasonable person.

Inning should be over.

Does that count as a run given up by Bradley? That should factor into the metrics.

Not exactly Paul Blair like there on the play by Bradley. Well, he makes up for it with his bat. Lol!

I guess all that beard pulling enthusiasm takes too much energy when you are on the first year of a 2 year contract.lol!

we don't need bullpen help. The Yanks got a pretty good player in Headly for next to nothing. You don't have to sacrifice your future to help your team.

Please you can rebuild around a Championship without coming in last place. Besides wasn't 2012 the rebuilding year. How about we wake up and realize that the FO screwed up this year. At least Ben knows he screwed up and has taken accountability, which is why I am not calling him a boob.

If we lose today, I am going to start the 2015 Red Sox Hot Stove thread.

Thanks Pete.

Still playing Bradley. Well, after all, he is red hot.

Hey Pete. I could use a win to lift my spirits today. Yesterday was my mother in-laws funeral. She had been part of our household for the last 25 years.

July isn't even over and we have to resign ourselves to the fact that the team is completely out of contention. This is completely dispiriting to the fan base. I really hope that Fenway is a ghost town by the middle of August to send these chumps a message that sub .500 teams don't cut it for the Nation. I hope that they get so desperate with their stupid marketing gimmicks that they are offering free drycleaning with a game admission. Seriously, to go from a World Championship to last place the very next year is embarrassing. As I have posted before, it is like following a strike in bowling with 2 gutter balls. You just negated the advantage of getting a strike. What gets me is that this team was a trainwreck coming out of Spring Training and they did virtually nothing to right the ship. The one move that they made -getting Drew- buried the team deeper in the standings. The FO performance in building the 2014 team has been an utter failure. Good luck to them trying to sell extremely overpriced tickets in 4 game GamePax next season. Even the scalpers will not bite on those. Thank you Ben and Co. for providing the fans with nothing to care about in August and September and what will seem like an eternity of a Hot Stove season. This is like a restaurant serving a gourmet meal one day and the next serving up a putrid meal that gives you food poisoning. It is going to damage your franchise.

By all accounts, the Red Sox FO botched this situation. Small and medium market teams are retaining their aces before they hit the open market, but the Red Sox, one of the richest franchises in the game will let an ace walk in his prime. That's just a mess. So next season we will all get to coo about our young arms until the middle of June when we realize that you can't win anything with 2 rookies in the starting rotation.

De La Rosa vs. Stroman Game time 12:37 The last place Red Sox will go through the motions against the Jays today. Hopefully, Rubby can dominate the Jays lineup to give us a chance to win.

They gave away this game and the season is circling the drain.

Yes these young players are exciting.

no such luck. Buch is getting smacked around by their light hitters.

Good contact by Bradley, but another out. Let's give him a consolation prize for not totally sucking for 30 days this season.

Bradley needs to learn how to hit in AAA.

And Buch hits the #9 hitter again to lead off an inning. Oye!

Bradley with 3 flailing swings and he leaves runners at 2nd and 3 rd with no one out. Yeah, he's red hot.

Does Buch really need to pitch at this excruciatingly slow pace? Could he do worse if he stepped up the pace. Cripes! Walking Thole!

Another leadoff hitter gets on. Not a good recipe for success by Buch.

Ooooh, it's really exciting to watch our young players! No, it isn't! The team is a suckass last place team that plays like crap. It's ******** that you expect from a Kansas City team. Our kids have stunk to this point except for Vasquez. Holt has done great, but he was not one of our hot prospects. He was a throwin in a trade and we got lucky that he has had a break out season. I can hardly wait until next season when our All Star pitcher is gone and I have to hear ******** about young pitchers having growing pains.
