It's the complete opposite of turning a blind eye.

lolololol

I don’t know, I think we can all relate to loving something so much that we make an absolute disgrace of it while forever tarnishing our name.

Oops. It’s almost like they should’ve put more chips in as legit World Series contenders.

JR should build more rivers then

They really need to invest in the org. But if you’re skeptical that they actually do it, or that they do it right, I totally get that. Ideally they invest in both the team and the organization, but it’s not like JR is some billionaire.

Also can we just get the "JR lied to us about this being a quick turnaround" thing out of the way now so we don't have to read 30 separate comments about it please and thank you

While I can't say I feel great that Getz is the one leading this, it's what they absolutely should be doing, so it's nice to see from that standpoint.

While I think it’s way past the point of being able to save face, yeah, these wins are annoying and anticlimactic. <Insert obligatory comment about how the Sox can’t even lose right>

He should. Like it or not, they really need to see what he has. That’s exactly what a non competitive team should be doing.

They’ll 100% get the record, but they’re just gonna make us wait a bit. Kind of annoying to be honest.

Loss 121 will be on 9/24 at home vs the Angels. Like the jerks that they are, they make us wait a little longer by taking 2 of 3 from the A's and 1 of 3 @ the Angels. They will lose that game by a score of 73-1.

Just stick him at DH and give him the entire year to show something. Vaughn can continue to be his normal subpar self at 1B. And for the love of god do not bring Sheets back.

They absolutely deserve all the smoke, but until someone in a position to actually press JR/the org on it or otherwise find some way to hold him accountable for the stupid s%*# that comes out of his mouth, I just don’t see how it matters. I suppose what I’m really saying is give media access to all of Soxtalk 💀

Why are we still treating JR quotes as if they hold any meaning? He's not even trying to be a good liar. Nothing he says matters at all.

Lol. They’re your cards. You dealt them.

I think it’s pretty simple. JR is completely full of s%*# and anything he says shouldn’t be used against Getz …Because… Getz is clearly bad at this on his own and we don’t need disingenuous quotes from JR to help prove that

Either they’re Getz’s poor decisions to begin with or they’re Grady’s decisions and Getz is doing nothing about it. Either way, Getz is to blame.

At this point I’m just wondering if the Sheets statue is going on the outfield concourse or outside the stadium.

I’d say that’s on Getz not Grady.

I hear all that, but hear me out: He played the game the right way.

I have to admit this is a charmingly awkward game thread.

Some serious Yelich, Ozuna, Stanton in the Marlins outfield vibes.

It’s been overshadowed by the trade returns and overall suck of the team, but Sheets and Lopez continuing to get at bats down the stretch is one of the larger things that makes me question what the actual f*** Getz is doing.

Are you saying there’s no difference between having a historically bad bullpen comprised almost entirely of players that have no future with the team and having a bullpen where you’ve identified several players that you’re comfortable with moving forward? A closer on a 100+ loss team doesn’t matter. A bullpen, or at least some vague idea of a bullpen foundation moving forward, absolutely matters for the future of the team.
