Yep we were gifted that game today with miserable pitching by the Mariners with a simply awful Sox lineup. Winning this would have made up for one of the Angels games they should have won.

Through one week of games, I’m pretty sure we’ve intentionally walked one batter.....2006 biggest superstar

I think the shift stats today are just as concerning as the bullpen handling.

100 percent correct on your point. What’s the point of saving someone for a 9th inning appearance if you lose the lead for good.

As the Sox struggle to score vs RHP, it comes back to the need to have power in the lineup. I will never understand why they thought getting more grindy was smart after finally getting good offensive stats via slugging.

We also thought they wouldn’t have such a lousy payroll come contention time

And also that manager goes all in to pay a lot for a closer that he’s using in a more traditional manner.

This lineup today is last place in the division caliber. They’re going to have to upgrade in LF sooner than later. Can you imagine the current LF options facing Indians pitching next week?

I tried to be ok with it, but he’s been significantly worse than I could have imagined.

Don’t worry, adding Eaton will solve all those woes. It sounds so dumb, doesn’t it!

Tell your loved ones to stay off the roads tonight

Kind of funny they already are winless vs RHP and undefeated vs LHP.

At least he shifted and didn’t think Billy Hamilton was a superstar

They were way too cocky heading into the year

This Mariners offense is so bad. Only the crappy pitchers on the team had any issue with them.

This is up there with using Ruiz in a big spot last year
-
4-7 GT: CWS @ SEA (3:10 PM CT)
You see how they’ve drastically reduced shifting?
-

Hendriks in....you can’t make this shit up

So excited to see Eaton lead off for next two weeks!

Have to be able to put away hitters. Saying someone pitched ok is like Bummer on opening night.

They will use the excuse of injury to our best outfielder Hamilton
-
4-7 GT: CWS @ SEA (3:10 PM CT)
I forgot where I heard it but they want to avoid using him back to back days

Foster pitched ok?
-

You absolutely can’t let Foster stay in there to face Seager if you’re planning on using Bummer one out later.
