Bob Hope with a gun to my head minus his politics I guess. Tyler Danish in for Boston in a game perfectly emblematic of this zany season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im used to slumps, we saw a 5 game losing streak last year where everyone was just bored. This just has a very different feel, it’s not just no one hitting, you’ve also got the defensive sh*tshow, you’ve got Keuchel and other pitchers getting shelled, and clearly some unknown personal issues going on. This definitely has a different flavor from slumps last year. What and who are the personal issues? Ok Last year we heard that same stuff and I didn’t believe it then and don’t now. I think with Giolito and Lynn back our starting staff gets better plus i am thinking Kelly healthy and in the pen helps a lot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, just 100 years of horse shit baseball. Personal problems? Nah, just a week of shit baseball. I watched about 1/3 of it that's personally all I could stomach everybody needs to find a cope because right now this team is shit. Might not be shit in a month, but right now it's shit.

Alas, this stretch is representing the worst of what this team was going to be, based on the (in)action of the FO this offseason. The OF is still full of injury-prone types, and 1B/DH types. They did nothing to add solutions for hitting vs RHP. They made the rotation weaker. And they did nothing to contain TLR's tendencies. I think it should get better, but it didn't have to be this way. The division will be much more interesting than it had to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke Do the Sox have a problem with their strength and conditioning program? Are the guys stretching properly. Seems that we have so many hamstring/ leg injuries.
