Yep BP severely undermanned. Whole organization is asleep at the wheel. But hey I'm on a island and insufferable but too often right for some people's tastes.

Was that a Fire Tony chant I just heard. Good for the fans !

Unless he's one of those guys who isn't available or sore or something preventing him from pitching.

Yea look at what was just posted several guys not available in the pen today but just keep on being baseball stupid.

Surprise surprise We fans don't know it all.

You must be some sort of dense. It's not about Sousa at all. JFC Because of injuries and Graveman who complains when he's pitched too often and Lopez getting spot starts or pitching long relief , there is always going to be some bum getting way too many innings in situations no one likes to see them pitch. Sousa's just been the designated bum in that role now. I'm not on an island at all. Most baseball knowledgeable people understand this. If it wasn't Sousa it's just going to be some other crap AAA/AAAA guy getting his ass kicked

What don't you understand? Crick and most of the rest of the back of the pen guys are all equally bad and no matter which of them gets brought in someone is screaming about it. Sousa's just the latest guy to be pitched so often that he was going to suck just like anyone else from the back of the pen or from the minors thrown into the same situation. 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other.

it was

AJ trade places with Mendick !

Ok signed him. I still predicted when they signed him that he would spend more time than any of the other non out for the season relief pitchers and he hasnt disapointed unfortunately. Sure you prefer them and then when they get brought in with 2 of 3 LHH coming up the rest of Soxtalk screams TLR what are you doing ? DFA these bums !!

Then it'll be Crick and the Ruiz and then who are you using AA pitchers? Bring back Severino or Banks ? This is what happens when you lose Crochet and trade for the injured Kelly.

I'm convinced that bullpen management is not Soxtalks strong suit. No offense to you but hardly anyone actually keeps track of how much the RP's are actually used.

Perez being hung out to dry.

He was still pitching consistently well , under 3 ERA until recently. FIP wasn't bad .

Need to take him out.

Was fine until coming back from Covid . Might be the time off though more than Covid.

HAHA did you expect less #NeverEasy

SO who do we see when Grandal is IL'd Perez or Seby ?

As did i once i saw the OF turn his back. Never expected it to go out with that swing.

Team HR leader Burger !!!

I think you have to remember that the Future Sox guys and all those who contribute greatly to this forum are unpaid amateurs doing it out of love and may not be well connected to the organizations or may not live near any of the teams. Sure some have a little bit of access but if those teams want to hide whats going on they will hide it. Local reporters may have better access so I'm sure our guys follow whoever they have to on Twitter and many other forms of social media to find info. We're lucky to have so many dedicated people devoted to the minor league Sox affiliates .

I like it ! It's easy to be negative especially in game thread where a team playing bad with so many individual guys being bad offensively and defensively is hard to take. So many now expect the worst and forget they are fans and want the team to win (except weird people who want the Sox to lose so TLR gets fired and say Screw you as their 1st reaction to your easy going plea for kindness). Let's go boys !! This division is easily winnable when more people start contributing including us.

Are you living in a cave ? There are highlights everywhere from the MLB app to youtube for the game.

Why don't we have a rolling eyes emoji for points ? You deserve one. That's just some odd level of fandom rooting for a loss when TLR has looked bad all season and is not likely to get fired this season unless something non baseball related happens. Wins actually make everyone feel good and help the team.

The 5 run 8th inning happened with nobody on and 2 outs, Burger started it with an infield hit, Moncada followed it up with a hit, Grandal 2 run double, Harrison RBI base hit that scored Leury PR for Grandal , and Mendick HR. So any time you have that kind of big inning that starts with 2 out on nobody on, everyone who contributed should be praised for not making the 3rd out especially a bunch of guys hitting below .200.
