Agreed. Peg him.

Robert looks great

Sure but that was a very nice pick by Vargas. He actually made the right decision to go to first when he couldn't find the ears. If Sosa is in the right spot the inning goes differently. This loss just isn't hitting me hard. I'm getting used to the 3 or 4 good games then 3 or 4 bad ones routine.

This team has been more fun to watch and it's been a good weekend. But games like this remind us that they're not out of the woods yet.

Sure. But you don't think like a first baseman if you're not one. If you're caught up in the moment, your first thought isn't "I need to cover the bag" if you are not a 1st baseman.

Weekly reminder Chris Getz doesn't think a closer is necessary.

Not a 1st baseman. I know.....shocking playing out of position could have consequences.

Shortstop.....put them where they should be. Chase at 2nd, Vargas at 3rd, Colson at SS and rotate the 1b/dh slots.

That's a fair point.

I dont think a trip to the IL for a phantom injury would be beneficial to his trade market.

Holy s%*#......okay. Dropping Elko makes less sense optioning Vaughn but okay. We gonna try one of Lee, Quero or Teel at 1b? Lee has gotta get the call soon.

Crawling out from this enormous losing culture that Jerry has fostered it could possibly take a decade. That's how much damage has been done.

Gavin Sheets has 2 home runs today. Now 8 on the year. With a .281 Ave, 27 rbi and an .822 ops.......just throwing that out there.

He was already falling on lists. How far does this drop him now?

Tbh, I think the trade talks since even last season are playing a large role in his mental approach. He appears distracted by it whenever asked by the media.

No. I didn't imply or suggest that. And yes, if for instance Soto was batting behind Luis Robert, Luis Robert would get better pitches to hit, and potentially would perform better. Maybe not. But there's probably. Then the hitter in front of him and so on. I feel like this is really basic and fairly obvious, but I digress. I'm not arguing Jerry isn't largely responsible, he is. But random dude on the street could've done a better job the Getz since he took over.

Quality veteran ballplayers make everyone around them better. Something not measured in WAR.

I dont understand folks in the fanbase who are okay with horrid, horrid baseball because rebuild. Sox have long been awful at talent evaluation and Getz is a large part of that. Do you think it's Jerry's idea that year after year we run with no closer at all? Then when the team has 30 blown saves we watch them scratch their heads then do the same thing next season. Jerry being a cheap prick? Big reason why they're terrible. Getz constructed an awful roster and spending that little money in awful ways? Also large part of the blame. Not like the minors are bursting at the seams with talent. Our former #1 prospect is batting .174 in aaa and we have approximately 1 potential stud looking offensive player. Getz is a giant, whopping failure.

Everyone knows he's hot garbage except those lying to themselves.....principally Jerry.

There are other gms with no money who have constructed not the worst team in Baseball history.

I hate what he has let this organization become. Can't even put up a decent fight for cubs/sox series. f*** off Jerry and Chris. Worthless.

It's still mind blowing to me that Ryan McGuffey and Connor McKnight are not the same person.

No reason for Amaya to still be on this team.

I dunno if you heard his podcast with Chuck but Ray wanted to stay. Said he'd take a home town discount but nobody ever approached him. Was blindsided by the trade. I was livid when it happened and that brought it all back. Ray had some great years after he left.

Regular reminder that Getz reluctance to sign ANY closer is what has made these losing seasons historic.....offensive woes aside.
