fathom

And this is why hiring the guy who oversaw the player development to lead things was such a dumb move

84 pitches, 24 outs

75 mph off the bat - ball hit hard for Benintendi apparently

Or maybe the moves are made by a couple of individuals that are bad at scouting players and also don’t understand the way baseball is played now and want to model a team after the way they played?

The offensive talent should be performing better than this. Especially with playing half their games in Charlotte, this seems more like a coaching/development issue.

Two non Sox things: - Witt Jr is on fire - Skenes pitching in the 9th is a delight to watch

It’s shocking how bad he is. Like total loss of ability at his age seems like it shouldn’t happen.

I have a feeling one of Robert/Crochet ends up on Dodgers, other on the Phillies.

Not being upset..totally fine Acting like others shouldn’t be upset and trying to pretend like things are trending in right direction…that irks me. Not referring to you fwiw

Shocking lack of focus

They simply do everyone wrong on the field. It was so much better for me when I was busy during travel baseball season and couldn’t watch this disaster. I can’t believe a few posters try to be optimistic about things in this organization.

Makes money so he gets to play or showcasing?

He’s made just insane decisions the last two innings. What a stupid, stupid man.

Grifol is simply killing any progression with these guys.

Throwing to second with a lefty up and two outs is one of the dumbest decisions in the history of baseball

Are you kidding me…Fire this clown!

He’s not even close, I don’t get why he’s still playing.

Command is the one place he can take a big leap with. It really seems like he barely threw his fastball last game.

IIRC, when MLB Network did that behind the scenes special on the Sox, Reinsdorf told them not to choose the pitcher they were interested in that had arm issues. It might have been Eibner.

Pure sarcasm…making him a starter is just about only good decision they’ve made in years

With all these blown saves, would they be better off moving Crochet back to the pen? They could probably prevent losing 120 games that way.

1.87 ERA…impressive failure by Getz to choose the wrong guy every time

People need to take their revenue losses more seriously

What I will never understand is why they targeted so many guys in the offseason with mediocre stuff as bullpen pieces. By the way, Bailey Horn looks good for the Red Sox and Cousins has been good for the Yankees. Getz really has the magic touch.

Wilson has dominated lefties this year and got destroyed by righties. That was the type of move is inexcusable. Pedro is really scared of Josh Smith?
