Considering all the talk about Cole as a possible option for the Sox, am I the only one completely underwhelmed by his stuff tonight?

Great to see the 3 core guys get something going tonight!!

Nova is just painful to watch. Even Yoan could probably hit him right now

Boom!!!

No way are they keeping Alonso around

Has to be

Yep the goal needs to be creating a powerhouse lineup and not just trying to put together an offense with numerous low ceiling players.

Yep for two teams that haven’t been competitive for a long time, they sure have been in the news for strange/bad things more than typical non-relevant teams.

Best chance for Sox to have a contending team was going to be Yoan at 2nd and landing a power hitting 3rd baseman. Yoan had a chance to be a top tier 2B instead of a run of the mill 3B. Too bad the Sox feel Madrigal is a guarantee to be a major leaguer.

Because tanking is gods gift to GMs. It allows them to hide behind it even if things aren’t progressing.

Hate to tell you but it was the actual core players going forward that were the easiest outs for Verlander. 0-7 with 7k for Moncada and Eloy. The Sox approach was just fucking awful tonight.

Awful awful game for Moncada. Abreu only one on team who doesn’t look overmatched by a fastball.

He was always someone who would do well in the low minors. I still don’t think his stuff will work in the majors. With that said, man has the drafting been bad for the Sox. There is nothing exciting in the minors outside of Robert and Cease. I saw some highlights of Madrigal and nothing has changed. Lots of weak contact, even his double yesterday was just a high chopper.

Swinging at sliders off the plate, taking fastballs for strikes

Pathetic

Feeble effort by Yoan tonight

Our record with Castillo catching is hilarious

Not that it matters, but idiotic to pitch to Correa there

They meant 2 runs

Castillo’s effort on that 0-1 pitch to frame it was comical

He went

Castillo continues his horrible season. Can’t wait for him and Yonder to be gone.

So Ricky got caught sleeping and didn’t have Bummer ready?

He’s off the plate a good amount and also pulling off the ball. It’s a bad combination and he’s been terrible against sliders and curveballs this season. I honestly don’t know why anyone ever throws him a fastball over the plate.

As a whole, he’s been really bad this season. Not a lot of hard contact at all. I’m actually shocked at how bad he’s been. Meanwhile, 0-17 this series for the players that matter. I miss Orioles pitching.
