Does he have a single swing and miss on the fastball?

Burger!

Robert!

His range is way worse than I expected at 2nd. It’s going to be a huge issue with no shifting.

It’s because the opposite field approach. Notice how none of the homers they gave up vs Giants were oppo?

You don’t like the strategy of pushing the pitch counts high to start the season, thus not thinking you’d need long relief? That will work out so well for a team with no starting pitching depth.

Wasn’t 2021 limited seating for a few months?

I think you hit it on the head, last year was probably worse Sox year for some of us. Just insulting and pathetic on every level. The vibes were positive after Houston (besides bullpen), but to come home and have a historically bad series against a mediocre team just brings about a lot of bad feelings. Also seeing their main slugger get hurt running the bases in the first week is too familiar IMO.

Who is saying this team can’t compete? I see the poll you just created, and I haven’t seen anyone saying they have no shot this year. There’s been some very good things and very bad things in the first week, but being upset about the roster and/or performance doesn’t mean this team can’t squeak out 85 wins.

For the record, I would love nothing more than this team to excel this year and make the postseason.

If this s%*# continues for another 50 games or so, I won’t be watching games. I watched fewer games last year than I had in a long time.

This is as embarrassing as it gets.

Wtf happened to Alberto’s velocity

He would love if it they’re worst this year under Pedro than they were under Tony

I’m gonna guess Hahn steps down (and gets a different title) if this season goes poorly. Won’t matter, it will just be someone like Getz taking over.

I said that earlier, but if you do a full on rebuild, Cease needs to go also. I can’t imagine Jerry doing that again though.

It’s just a bad mix overall. Awful GM, inexperienced manager and overrated or unable to stay healthy talent.

Have you seen the horrible arms in AAA?

This is just ridiculous. Can’t wait for Katz to claim every pitcher is tipping.

Just for discussion, if they’re out of it at the deadline, the following need to be available: Timmy, Giolito, Hendricks, Bummer, Lynn, Kelly, Andrus, Grandal, Diekman, Graveman

The organization’s obsession with the Royals Way is so strange

Tony was so bad, his replacement should have had the easiest job ever to look competent. Should is the key word.

How’s it possible to hit that last slider to Sheets right into the ground?

Hanging slider….no damage. Junis has gotten so lucky

I would rather they make it obvious what needs to happen at the deadline than being a .500 team
