The Sox have looked against Fried in the past just how they have looked the whole year so far against anyone pitching against them, so don't anyone hold their breath hoping the bats are going to come north all of a sudden. There I SAID it, spring training tells you nothing. Abreu the only one who kept it somewhat going when the games started, Tonights Cy Young has held the ReD sox to an average of .203, 16 for 79, 4 doubles, 2 home runs(both Story) 5 walks and 27 of the AB's punchouts. The season is getting ugly quickly, the players better start playing if they want to save their managers job. I just can't see Cora being the one to light the fire under this group, he would rather be their friend then their manager.

Can we fire the Fats dude already???,

They are getting swept, you can count on it. Yanks 9 hits, the way the Sox are playing they will be lucky to get 9 hits over the 3 games!!!

Mr Wizard and his magic wand trying yet again to pinch hit them out of the slump.

I really hope we are not seeing another Fear Strikes Out thing with the Red Sox and Duran. If the rest of them are being given the playing time to work out their slumps, He should be afforded the same. Look I WILL GIVE A PASS to 3 out of the 9, everyone knows which 3, cf,rf,1b. He is being singled out of the 7 by Cora for the failure of the group. To me the biggest disappointment up until now given all the hype , it is Roman Anthony with his weak sauce 225 avg and even weaker 4 runs batted in, with 1 goner. It sure would be nice if they started hitting as a team, because otherwise it is going to be a long hot summer.

It is the lefty Sama something up from beautiful Worcester Massachusetts, top of the afternoon people, first game that matters this year, got the cold ones ready, my mistress Mary Jane always is nearby. anything less then 2 wins here is a big fat L. A sweep seems beyond reason, given the first 22 games.

We will say this, do we think Story earned the crazy money he was paid to get hurt and play subpar ball throughout the contract, HELL NO. Bello is another example of getting WAY OVERPAID for just how much he has mastered his craft. Roman Anthony needs to hit either in the 3 hole or clean up. Put Duran back leading off, If the season continues as it has started without a doubt Story is gone at the trade deadline, hell he might be gone no matter what, even if they start jelling. All of a sudden I see Free Agent, and the word Union in a different light. The Owners WILL WIN in the coming lockout. Contracts should be year to year performance driven with each player on every team having the ability to earn as much money as he can produce. Change is coming to MLB. Everyone knows the "economy" is just one giant leveraged bubble. The Owners should take back their assets, and cut their costs through a new pay scale saving them Capital which they can return to the fans through cut ticket prices(we are talking over 50% in most cases) and concessions at the Ballpark. There had to be a ceiling somewhere in the Monopoly game, with the mockery the Dodgers are making of the "open market"" push back was 100% assured.

Just happy that they somehow at least split the 4 games, we all know what the real issue is, if you are going to play Punch and Judy baseball, you better be able to string hits together. This lineup is stacked with folks hitting the likes of .187, .164, .152, .182 and .217, thats 5 out of 9 spots, in the bottom of the 7th inning of the 22nd game of the season. Already an 1/8 of the season 13 HR's in 22 games shouts what the Red Sox are not. The longer it takes for them to get it together as a team, the deeper their hole will get, better work toward .500 first. 12 hits. yep going to need a lot more just like it. Gray most likely headed for a D.L. Tolle or Oviedo?

So many things wrong where does one start? Even last year I could not understand them using Roman to bat leadoff, now I am convinced he is not a leadoff hitter. Durbin can't hit his damn weight anywhere in the lineup., They make every pitcher look like Cy Young. 0- 13 now when they do not get a Q.S. A serious bummer that Story did not take his op-out He will be gone before the season ends. Monasterio, and Kiner-Falefa on the same roster and they want to sell they are contenders??? The rest of baseball is playing home run derby and the Red Sox got a line up that reminds me of the 60's White Sox teams who had absolutely no power hitter. Mark Cuban please buy the Boston Red Sox.

Of course Crochet is headed to the DL, can see it from here, Can we get the Patriots to camp please.

I think I will take tomorrow off and just ignore them.

Fire Cora, make Veritak the manager, and light a fire in the clubhouse, I can not take another season of him telling us they are a good team. with 13 runs scored in one inning shy of 5 games, they are lucky they even are 1-and 4.

This is plain ugly, the one thing that stands out to me is that for NOT being a power hitting team, they are striking out WAY TOO MUCH!!

This is smelling like a no hitter tonight for Brown

Keeping Wong is a mistake, Delay should be the backup, 2 for 26 does not cut it, I do not care how well he knows the pitchers. 2024 was a mirage with the bat, I have absolutely no faith in him and is an automatic 3 outs when he is in the lineup. Opposing managers smile when they see him in the lineup card,

A tad nervous about Crochet's spring heading into today, and he did nothing to ease my concern with this start

I want to see Guerrero pitch a couple more times, he is a possible gem of a find, and can we please lose Wong somewhere? Guy just reminds me of the horrible Betts trade, and it looks like we have already seen Wong at his best. If we took a nap you might have missed it. Oviedo is going to drive us nuts nibbling around the plate, as big as he is, he needs to have more trust in his stuff and throw strikes, make them hit it!!!😎✌️⚾

Wong HAS to go, putz just reminds us we no longer have Mookie Betts, anyone breathing is an upgrade.⚾

What I would like is have a couple of teams from each division switch or trade places with their counterpart in the Other league. For two years, the Red Sox, Tigers, and Angels go play in the NL while the Braves, Pirates, Giants play in the AL. then Orioles, Twins, Mariners, switch with the Mets, Reds, Padres, for 2 years. Yankees, WhiteSox, Astros switch with Marlins, Cubs, Rockies for 2 years. Blue Jays, Royals switch with Philly, Brewers,DBacks for 2 years Rays,, Guardians,A's switch Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers for 2 years, then start over with the Sox NL FOR 2 AL FOR 8.

The Sox have a gem in the stud Guerrero, big boy , Oviedo needs to trust his stuff, i dislike nibblers

Every thread here turns into a free for all, I thought this was a thread about how many games they would win this year???

Looking into my crystal ball and it says the 2026 Boston Red Sox will win 96 or 97 games. It also said enjoy the season because greed is going to cancel the 2027 season.

Where is Mayer???

WOW, let me catch my breath.

Earth shaking move right there, waste of a roster spot.
