Guy sucks. I can't remember once this year he came in without drama. A poor man's Robles.FUGLY. Thanks LLovera. This is on you. What an embarrassment tonight.
Bringing him in with a 3-0 score against these guys is criminal. Wink can't go 2? Is Pivetta dead?Guy sucks. I can't remember once this year he came in without drama. A poor man's Robles.
Yeah great fun! They unwisely held on to pieces they could have gotten real value for at the trading deadline. Big big mistake.Well, it was fun to think this year would be a playoff team.
More like Ramiro MendozaGuy sucks. I can't remember once this year he came in without drama. A poor man's Robles.
New coaches and I am also okay with a new manager and new head of baseball ops. I have no confidence that next year will be any better than this one.Even when this team is firing on all cylinders they annoy the fucking hell out of me. Bring in new coaches, please.
Watching this team without Turner, Duvall, Martin, and Jansen for the last two months of the season would be miserable.Yeah great fun! They unwisely held on to pieces they could have gotten real value for at the trading deadline. Big big mistake.

Then get DFAed.LLovera needs to finish this ugly ass game and save the bullpen.
And devers had the gall to demand the sox trade for reinforcements.Yeah great fun! They unwisely held on to pieces they could have gotten real value for at the trading deadline. Big big mistake.
Lol. They are little the only players who have shown up for a majority of this season. Totally fine that we kept them.Watching this team with Turner, Duvall, Martin and Jansen is miserable.
I really want Varitek as the manager.New coaches and I am also okay with a new manager and new head of baseball ops. I have no confidence that next year will be any better than this one.
If scouting, coaching, fundamentals are the major issue, why should the game planning coordinator get promoted? He’s part of the problem.I really want Varitek as the manager.
Interesting. Maybe get the band back together.I really want Varitek as the manager.
Oh there's been a lot more crap than thatI was working late and just logged in.
Crap.
Crap crap crap crap crap.
Crap.
Last time out he pitched 2 innings with no hits, no walks and 3 Ks. But in all fairness that was 3 whole days ago.Guy sucks. I can't remember once this year he came in without drama. A poor man's Robles.
They did one minor buy. How is that an evaluation of true contender?10-10 since the trade deadline. Management needs to held accountable for their completely wrong evaluation of this team as a serious playoff contender. Bloom and Cora need to go.

I guess you wanted to sell off all the rental pieces? Sounded like that was on the table but I bet they weren't getting much of a return on it.
Yup. And standing pat was completely fine. Especially since even the Yankees did not sell. And they had/have a worse record than us.I love the Red Sox and love baseball. I can usually find a reason to watch and be interested even when they are bad, especially as the season runs down. Playoff race is fun, but not even mandatory for me.
But this defense is just rough. I get pretend mad in game threads, but rarely actually mad. The defense actually makes me real life mad, in a way that other stuff doesn’t. Even bad baserunning or shitty situational play.
I don’t know why. I know they are not trying to make mistakes. But it just hits me in a way that is different and makes me not want to watch. It’s really infuriating. I fucking hate it.
JBJ as fielding coachInteresting. Maybe get the band back together.

kinda sounds like a fucking nightmare honestly.
They had a chance to DFA Llovera yesterday when Tanner Houck came back, and instead they opted to send down Chris Murphy, who's been an effective and valuable part of the bullpen. They did this because it's quite clear that 2023 is not a priority for this front office, and they'd rather to get further looks at Llovera, who is out of options and would be lost if he was DFAd, than optimize the roster to make the postseason.Also if Cora doesn’t give up by using Llovera they could have tied the game.
DFA him and get BearClaw or Walters up.
I have been saying this for months. I know the players on the field are key, but judging by how they recover their "acumen" under new coaching (e.g., Tilt), coaching can make a HUGE difference.Even when this team is firing on all cylinders they annoy the fucking hell out of me. Bring in new coaches, please.
I am not being sarcastic when I say that I must have missed this dreadfulness all season. Sure, he hasn't been perfect, but he's made a lot of good plays out there, esp. in larger LFs than Fenway's. I wish someone would post links (preferably not Tweets or whatever they're called now) demonstrating his awfulness.how absolutely dreadful Masa is in LF
I don’t buy the defensive stats- JBJ would be given a negative score in Fenway LF.I am not being sarcastic when I say that I must have missed this dreadfulness all season.

I would kill to see Pedro as the pitching coach of the Red Sox. I have seen his analysis on MLBN and he is amazing. Not that every good analyst would make a great coach but it looks like he could teach the pitchers a thing or three.Interesting. Maybe get the band back together.
