LOL you gotta be kidding

Feel like if Grandal was out there we would have just lost.

Ugh, so stupid.

Awesome, we're gonna get walked off to complete this miserably failed first test of the season for the Sox.

So what is the call here? Larussa a clown for leaving Bummer in?
I really can't say on this one. To be fair, almost no one in the pen feels like a lock right now.

Ground Ball Garcia at it again.

Going with Vaughn over Mendick...TLR hunch finally pays off.
Chapman supplying all the power.
Waiting for tray to come in and start trolling us about this now.

This game nor series is on Tony. Scoring 5 runs in a 3 game series against the new York Yankees is what is to blame.
TLR definitely shares a lot of blame. He's made a lot of poor decisions and non-decisions.

Tony LaRussa is just not a good manager on any level anymore in 2021, it's just that simple.

Toxic positivity otherwise you’re actively rooting for them to lose.
The thought process is bizarre.
Really, it's like Trumpism. Just embrace the positivity because facing the reality of the situation is too scary or hard to accept.

And the excuse from the LaRussa stans is "The guy is in the HOF, it's easy to armchair quarterback on the internet."
It's such a lazy response. Access to information has never been easier. The point is it IS EASY to to armchair quarterback because unless we are talking about unknown injuries, we're working with 95% of the same information the ML dugout has....and this stuff seems pretty obvious a lot of times.
It's the easiest cop-out, it applies to everything by design so therefore it is the ultimate lazy go-to.
Or it's that these people really don't know anything about baseball themselves so they think the old 76 yo HOFer who hasn't managed in over 10 years HAS to know better than anyone.

I'd bet the house on that as well.
Yeah, I was actually being generous.

I’m sorry, but La Russa is either losing it or doesn’t look at basic splits. Leury is not good as a left-handed hitter while Collins has a 114 wRC+ against RHP and is actually capable of hitting a HR and tying the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if LaRussa has no idea what WRC+ even is.

Grandal HR, too bad, should be tied.

Tony has managed so poorly all year. Looking like 1-4 since he was an idiot.
Fixed that for you.

Agree 100%. The needle has now moved to just compete for a division with a team that has the lowest payroll in baseball and consistently trades away all star level players. I thought the goal of the rebuild was to finally be a franchise that could swim in the deep end with the big boys?
Seems like a lot of contradictory thinking around here, almost like buyer's remorse.
"Be positive! We have arguably the best team is baseball!"
Then it shifts to:
"Be positive! We can still EASILY win this division! Just keep beating up on shitty AL Central teams! Look at our run differential!"
Weird. Almost like a total forfeit of the prior model of thinking. Sorry, I'm not happy just aiming for a Division win when I know our division SUCKS.

We haven’t really faced any good teams yet, other than Boston. Just the Red Sox, Indians’ pitching and Ohtani/Trout talent stand out until this Yankees’ series.
If people are just focused on winning the division and being the new Twins that is fine but I thought we were aiming higher. Yet some of the more "optimistic" fans simply are happy with things like "run differentials" when we are losing to any actually good team we play. I don't get it.

Sox have 3 runs in their last 37 innings. 2 of those were scored on an infield hit and a blooper. Thank god the Sox prioritized speed and defense instead of power.
This is very frustrating. Keep hearing about run differentials and all that but if you keep going into corpseball stretches against good teams then that's just gonna end up being another worthless statistic.

The 26-16 record was obviously fool’s gold achieved primarily against a crappy central division (minus Cleveland). This team is not ready to play the big boys. What we Are seeing this weekend is not all Yankee pitching. I guarantee the next time Montgomery and Taillon pitch other teams will hit them.
This looks plainly obvious, and the Yanks are in a much better division, and keep in mind everyone seemed to think the Sox looked considerably better (on paper) than the Yankees and I was absolutely eviscerated here for comparing the 2.
Problem is too many people think "on paper." As I said before, the Yankees don't have the stigma and mental hurdles the Sox do and that DOES make a difference.

I watched the video of Mercedes ignoring the take sign and loading up to hit the home run.
This is a guy who just came into fame and fortune and decided to showboat.
And yes, IMO, multiple gold necklaces worn on the field by a baseball player look trashy to me.
Someone has to take the garbage out.
You saying he was "pimping" the HR is a load of bullshit. He hit it and ran the bases and showed no emotion. There was literally nothing he did that was anything other than perfectly normal.
And to see someone encouraging you and saying you're correct is utterly hilarious. I don't care if it's a "race issue" or not, I'm just stating the simple fact that you are wrong. You're so wrong it sounds like you are just making shit up.

Answer the question! Lol
So you got nothing, got it.
Oh, jeez.
First off, what question, exactly? That the Sox are the 5th best team in the AL? Not sure what that really even means.
Second, you merely said things were "bad takes." You didn't explain why they are bad. As people tend to.
If I'm anywhere near in the vicinity of things you want explained (you didn't quite clarify)... The Sox have great starting pitching but that alone does not win championships anymore, they play great against sub .500 teams but so far we have no idea if they can even beat any actual good teams as they have yet to do so, our bullpen as it turns out is overall ass right now, etc.
Is that enough to answer whatever it is you are even asking? Saying the Sox are "*insert number here* best team in the AL" ultimately doesn't mean anything unless they can beat actual top talent and you know it.
If I'm not satisfying your inquisitivity then please clarify what info you are actually seeking instead of your usual childish, condescending shtick. Not that I believe you are actually looking to be enlightened on anything.
Maybe try civilly asking for an inquiry rather than always act snide? Would that hurt you?
