Coming up:6-4-3 -
Sure. Let’s just get back a pitcher this time. I’d be ok with Graterol…
-
And don’t you believe they win them with 2 run leads instead of one? They’ve only blown 2 multi-run leads all year. And one of them was due to an error…
-
I was all for stretching Whitlock out and expanding his IP in the pen. But at least he has a lot of potential as a starter. Houck is useless in multiple inning roles…
-
Ok, get shut out by Shohei Ohtani? That’s understandable. But Keuchel? Is this 2012? There are no stats that even place them as average. Fire Fatse now!! Go without a hitting coach! It will be better!
-
In a rare moment of frustration for taking it out on the coaching staff, I might be the one who starts it. A realistic “Fire Cora” thread is not out of the realm of possibility either…
-
But saying Whitlock automatically nails down the game isn’t playing the “what if” game? High probability or not, it’s still a hypothetical…
-
Sale is owed $55million for 2023 and 2024. Plus the balance of his $30mil this year assuming he gets dealt. He’s not trade bait. He’s a guy you have to attach to legitimate trade bait in order to unload him..,
-
Maybe if the offense could take the pressure off once per week …
-
Exactly. And the bullpen has to be perfect! Their last 3 blown saves were all for just giving up one run. Get them a 2 run lead once in a while!! (Seriously when was their last 2 run lead?)
-
More than 5 runs; the Sox have a few games where they scored 5. I know that is hard to believe…
-
I’m 4 of the extra inning losses, the Sox scored a TOTAL of 4 runs in the 36 regulation innnings. Absolutely those games happen. But 4 times in the first 28 games of the season? That’s once per week!! The offense isn’t doing it’s job if the bullpen is constantly asked to protect 1-0 leads…
-
DFA him. I was all for giving Barnes another chance since last season his struggles really only encompassed 9 innings. But as of now he is being heavily related uponnand is simply incapable. Maybe if it’s team could actually put some f***ing runs on the board and have a 7 or 8 run lead once in a while,Cora could let Barnes try to right himself. But why he is the guy with complete trust in extra innings is well beyond anyone’s grasp. If maybe he was facing the 7-8-9 hitters in the 10th, I’m a little less fearful. But to use Barnes in a tie game with the lead run on second and the 3-4-5 hitters due up is a complete white flag…

Well, 5 of the 6. The Tampa game was 0-0 after 9. And in 4 of the other 5, that was a one run lead. Two games were 1-0 after 8. One was 2-1. How about giving the bullpen a two run lead? When was the last time the bullpen had a two run lead? The bullpen could and should be better. But you can’t keep hoping things work out when they are constantly being asked to protect one run leads for 3 to 4 innings. Give them some leeway. The Sox have played 28 games and haven’t scored 100 runs yet. Of their 97 runs scored, 24 came in 3 games. The remaining 25 games this team has scored a whopping 73 runs. They have topped 5 runs in a game 3 times and haven’t scored double digit runs in a game yet. If Houck closes or whoever, fine. But this anemic offense is the problem with this team…
-
Right. Starting pitching is the problem with the Sox. That’s how bad this team is right now. Even our trolls suck…
-
And we can expect Liam Hendricks in the 10th. Story at second. Devers, Bogaerts and JD due up. This is their best chance to actually score..
-
So even if Barnes gets this hitter, the Sox need to score two in the tenth after scoring 3 in the previous 18 innings
-
Robles gets out of that inning if Cora has Devers guard the line…
-
Thinking Bloom needs to DFA Barnes just to keep Cora from using him in extra inning games
-
Now if Kike didn’t throw him, that’s a double play ball…
-
Stupid, stupid play by Kike
-
Thinking 5 runs off Barnes here
-
I did not want to be right about this. I really, really didn’t…
-
So… Pollock on second with Abreu, Robert and Grandal due up. If Cora brings in Barnes it’s probably time to fire him…
-
Have to wonder why less K-prone Arroyo didn’t bat for Dalbec
