mmmmmbeeer

Listening to the radio. Could Grich have scored on that double?

Dude lol…. my bad.

We don’t need a bomb T.

Brayden dong incoming.

You f*** with Sammy, you f*** with the whole team. Love it.

Because we didn’t score?

Ha! He’s saving the pen because we don’t have a starter that can go 6 innings.

Because we can gain ground if we win what at the time was a 1-0 deficit?

You can’t seriously watch his ABs and think they’ve “figured him out”. That’s just a bad take. He’s not hitting good pitches, bad pitches, decent pitches, high pitches, low pitches, pitches right down the middle. He’s just in his head. The pitchers aren’t doing s%*# to keep this slump rolling.

Need to manage the next 3 innings like you’re playing for a run. Sac bunts. Sac flies. Maybe get someone running. Selective at the plate.

O’s trying to give away the game to Cleveland

I agree it’s mental. Pennant race, lotta press coverage, expected to hit dongs and drive in runs. He’s taken care of the press coverage by sucking ass. Will can take care of the production stress by dropping him to 7th or 8th in the lineup. This team is extraordinarily stubborn about the obvious things but roll the dice on the dumb things (Tommy Pham?!?).

One thing you don’t do is keep him in the top half of the lineup.

Was texting with my brother and dad this morning about the pitching. We're like down to a 1 man rotation... Castillo - garbage Burke - hit a wall and can't be counted on Davis - since returning from the IL, he's our only real starter Opener+Fedde - meh Opener+Urquidy - garbage This just isn't going to cut it, even if the offense is clicking on all cylinders. It's time for Thorpe and Sandlin. I don't know what point Getz is trying to prove but it's plain as day that he's flirting with disaster....the status quo isn't going to magically start working. We can debate until we're blue in the faces whether the real failure was at the deadline, but either way that's the past. The present is the problem. Solve it.

Good call. Blum is out for this series, so Astros fans get Bagwell. Gave him 2 batters…. You know what made him hit homers? Many people would say steroids. Other would say steroids. Jeff let the broadcast audience know it was learning about backspin

That dumb toe thing needs to go

Goodness that ball was scalded

Mune is seeing the ball better. A week ago, he strikes out in that AB.

The Liberty marketing team should be publicly executed.

Is that why he’s still starting every game? The dude was a top prospect. He’s had what, 300 MLB ABs? This is a REBUILDING TEAM. Yall kill me evaluating this roster like we have a $250M payroll and came into the season as WS favorites.

I don’t think anyone, including the Sox FO, expected Braden to come up and be a significant contributor. He’s a decent defender and we don’t have a better alternative for RF. He’ll be fine. He’s still a kid.

The way he was nodding his head walking away, I thought for sure they settled on 2-2. Awful look for Will. Was he not paying attention?

So a pitch that almost hit the batter, ricocheted to the LH batters box, was a ball? Really?

This has got Reinsdorf written all over it. Most of us agreed Getz was handcuffed at the deadline due to our top-heavy system limiting the deals to be made. Cash was king and they spent some cash instead of prospects. Waiver wire is all cash, afaik, which means it’s the perfect time to upgrade the roster. Great attendance, winning team, let’s do it! But not Jerry! Tommy f’n Pham? Really?!? Sorry ass owner.

Kid is from my hometown so I couldn’t root for him harder, but he’s not ready to face MLB hitters. It’s not just that his stuff isn’t there yet, he’s not there mentally, either. He’s way too amped on the mound so the game is running 1000mph in his head. That last start, you could just feel his adrenaline through the screen….wide-eyed and twitchy. I’m convinced Will saw it, too, and intentionally went out to the mound to pull him immediately as soon as that adrenaline proved to be affecting his pitching. He didn’t feel he had time to wait for someone to warm in the pen.
