How'd the ump blow that one in the first place

He's easily out

One more strike come on

That guy was pretty nasty. BS strike call to Mune didn't help.

WHEW

Oh boy...

i dont like playing the Red Sox

If he throws it like a normal person and not an idiot it's either an out or no runs score.

That wasn't luck, that was a dumbass error.

HAHAHAHA f*** YOU BOSTON

Come on Peters. Sheesh.

The only ball hit hard that inning was the grounder from Yoshida. Total horseshoe up their ass. Hope this lasts for Boston through when they play the rest of our division.

.555 > .511

Not have a .511 OPS against lefties

I don't. He can't stay healthy.

I'd like for this Mets pitcher to stop getting hit so hard, thanks

Mets taking the Guardians out behind the woodshed in this series. Got a chance to blow it WAY open in the bottom of the 8th. Already 10-5.

Man I sure wish we traded for a guy who gives up 5 R in 4 IP to one of the worst teams in baseball like the Guardians did.

I'm happy the rest of the division laid an egg so far while we're getting mollywhopped by the hottest team I've seen since the A's won like 20 straight in the early 00s.

Kay makes like $6 million a year so .8 fWAR ain't too bad. He's either neutral or a successful signing. The rest of the guys (minus Dominguez) were cheap, and the Car Jerker was here for like a month. The most expensive was Hays at $6 mil/-.4 fWAR. I'll give you Dominguez as a failed signing, but you've got an outfield of BMont at 0.9 fWAR (in 45 games), Peters at 2.4 fWAR, and Antonacci at 1.4 fWAR. They didn't really end up needing Hays in the way they thought they would, so I have a hard time calling that a failed signing. Murakami and Murphy alone have combined for 3.9 fWAR. I don't think any GM is 100% successful at free agent signings. In fact I'd bet the success rate is pretty low, especially where the Sox usually play. I'm pretty content with what the Sox did with their free agent signings, especially given where the team is right now.

You also can't count Murakami because he fell into their laps. He literally flew over from Japan and played "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel on his boombox until Getz finally gave in and signed him.

Reinsdorf said it'd only take a year to be competitive again and it took two, so Getz gets an F-.

Welp! I'll maybe check in on this one later.

Yeah we say that every year and then they make the playoffs every year. I'll only not be worried about them when we finish the season in first or in a WC spot.

I have no idea why this is even a discussion, like I get people have to find something to still nitpick when the team is good, but come on. Both Quero and Romo suck really, really bad. Quero is only better because he's still really young and maybe has potential, so the Sox want Quero to play every day and work on stuff in a lower pressure environment to see if he can still be anything. Romo is gone once Teel comes back, and is likely barely going to play because Bart isn't good either but he's light years better than the 4th worst catching tandem in the history of baseball.
