Last night's loss extinguished any remaining fight left in this team.
Even the Sox minor leaguers are taking some pride in winning...at least there's that.
Wait, you thought last night this team had any fight?

Is anyone on the coaching staff even attempting to help AV? He obvi completely lost.
That’s hilarious you think they have capable hitting coaches.

Burger is a DFA candidate in a couple years. He had very limited trade value last July, let’s be real.
I’ve heard the exact opposite of what his value was at the deadline. The Sox thought they were getting a top 50 type guy back.

Hahn did a solid on his final trades. Even Burger for Eder is a wash at worst.
Hahn was good at one thing, and that was selling.
The Burger trade was awful. It’s fine they dealt him, but he had actual value and getting someone who might not recover his stuff is bad.

Yep
But they could have given him extra rest

They’re about to be 3-21 and no changes have been made. It’s so crazy

Next time you’re attempting to make a reliever into a starter, don’t have him go all out with no regards his first few starts. I’m sure the injury is coming soon.

He is only good when he can top out in triple digits. 96-97 won't cut it for him.
And it’s not shocking that starting would cause his fastball to suffer. Anyone who saw him pitch since his second year here knew this was coming.

Oh, so Crochet isn’t good. Glad that’s official.
It’s like Kopech…no matter the role, they still suck

Crochet as a starter has quickly turned into a disaster

You know bad umpiring isn't all on the catcher. Maldonado while batting took a 1st pitch strike that looked 6 or more inches off the plate. That was a pitch that framing had nothing to do with as are many bad balls and strike calls.
Sticking up for bad umpiring is ludicrous . All the bad umpiring scorecards aren't dependent on how a catcher frames it, only on bad calls. If an ump needs a catcher to frame it properly to call a strike then they are worthless.
The better you are at framing, the more strikes you get called. And yes, umpires are completely worthless.

In the ninth, Wilson walked Carlos Santana with one out before Ryan Jeffers’ half-swing, a bloop double dropped near the left field line in front of Benintendi, who appeared to get a slow read on it.
“That catch was a 20% probability catch,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “We’re playing no-doubles, way back there. Would have been a helluva catch had he made it.”
I saw somewhere else it was 89 pct catch odds

No they understand. That's why thet want to move to Nashville.
It's either deliberate or neglect.
Nashville wants an expansion team. They want nothing to do with an existing team

Nothing will increase the ratings. These last few seasons have done irreparable damage to this team that I’m not sure ownership fully understands yet.
Yep, if the diehards on here don’t want to watch, no way are the casuals watching. I can’t even imagine how bad attendance will be the rest of the year and next year. Can’t wait to see a payroll around 80 million.

Kopech should be closer to hope he can get some type of trade boost. Using him in the 8th made absolutely no sense. Grifol is the worst manager I’ve ever seen.

When you’re dumb enough to play Maldonado, I don’t want to hear bitching about the umps

Why is Wilson closing now? Grifol has absolutely no clue what he’s doing.

A but sure but when you put together a roster of nothing but terrible players except for one guy, and the one good player gets hurt, it isn’t totally surprising to see something like this. Pitchers just never are under pressure against this lineup. There is no power and they don’t work counts.
Of course, I was posting a lot that Getz was neglecting the offense. I don’t think any of us expected Vaughn to be this bad.

Splitting hairs here but I think many of that guys are achieving exactly what should have been expected. They weren't going to achieve much more. Just look behind the plate. He sucks while achieving what most of us expected.
But underachieving to MLB standards.
Nah, this is below even the lowest expectations.

Can it be “all of the above?” A manager who shouldn’t be leading this team. A front office that put together a poor, cheap, underperforming roster. Players who realize this is a bad team with some just cashing paychecks. An ultimately an owner who needs to sell the team.
Jerry isn’t selling. That was reported again today.

Yes, 5 players the Braves would have most likely just straight up let go if the Sox hadn’t swooped in to claim their garbage.
That trade is just so ridiculous.

3-21…you just don’t see teams play this bad in the majors. They really should unload guys if they have any value.
