Buster Olney of ESPN, ranks the Sox as the #2 MLB team behind the Cubs, that needs a trade deadline move the most. Nor surprisingly, he refers to a need for a catcher and one starting pitcher. As possible catchers to target, he refers to Kyle Stephenson and Jose Trevino of the Reds or Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torres of the Mets. He refers that Noah Schultz needs an upgrade as fifth starter. Hopefully Getz can pull the trigger on a good catcher. Sox cannot contend well with Quero/Romo duo. IMO.

Junior Pérez last swing was a homer, and then he gets immediately sent down. I would have giving another opportunity. Pereira did not perform well tonight.

Another unforced error. Colson also has a bad leg.

Venableis big on lefty lefty pitching matchups as he is big in avoiding lefty lefty hitting match ups. Venable is not a good in game leveraged situation manager, including managing the bullpen.

Anything out of the zone, and if we walk him so be it.

He is the most dangerous hitter in the Yankees lineup. That Hudson fastball had too much of the plate.

Quero is the worst ABS challenger in MLB, not only with bad calls but also no IQ, challenging in the 7 th with our last challenge on a 0-0 count and no outs. You figure that.

Savannah Banana ball.

Great. But the Sox broadcast has to stop the in game interviews in the middle of our tying rally.

Two lead walks both scored to begin with.

Quero brain fart cost us the lead. Our catchers got to be the worst in MLB.

JR should have given a rain check to those attending.

Romo is still in the race with Quero and Maldonado, for the worst hitting Sox catcher of the Century.

Romo batting avg is up to .132.!!

Feast or famine lately.

He is an excellent mop up pitcher/ low leverage situations.

With this catcher disaster in our hands, maybe the Sox would have been better off drafting first the Georgia Tech catcher Lackey. We need more immediate help.

If Quero would have been able to tag with two hands, he would have been able to hold on to the ball, and the runner would have been out

We could have used Jacob Gonzalez nowadays.

Need for the Sox to start hitting homers again.

Burke is our best chance of a stopper. Sending Siranthony to the IL would also help.

I would say that now Seranthony should be relegated to mop up duty,a very expensive mop up pitcher though.

Romo batting avg. Is down to .127, straddling the Maldonado line. Shades of Martin M.. not good memories.

Agree. It was a high leverage situation for Dominguez, for which he has not been good at.

And I would add Siranthony walking two including one with the bases loaded, during the Astros 8 run inning. Sox playing with a man short with Romo as an automatic out, and not hitting any homers did not help either. One of the worst games of the year. Let’s get them tomorrow.
