Unfortunately modern day nasenall and fans have no appreciation for players like that. They need to have at least 20 homeruns. In modern day baseball Mark B is what I would consider a Famer. He got people out not throwing hard. Great at fielding and one of the best pitchers in the stretch. He was fundamentally sound. I'm starting to disiike modern baseball. One pf the reasons is the high injury rate among the league.

We sure could use some rose colored glasses.

I wonder whose shitlist he;s on for not being brought up or being they need guys on the field in Charlotte?

I didn't watch the game (because I'm not into inflicting harm on myself) and only looking at stats why didn't they stick with Kopech a little longer. Either way most likely looking at a loss but give the pen a rest.

Those are often Sox killers.

Most of their acquisitions often in coaching come habitually losing organizations. We've spun the organizations problems around that there is nothing new under the sun.

the blame is more on the scouting but I'm sure Jerry likes them

a sloooooooooooooow agonizing death

Cause they give up grand slams

Would it have been wrong to let Bummer go another inning. he looked good

You're gonna have to fire the owner first

I'd agree if he was on the mound giving up that slam.

and yet we are not use to it

Elvis is not suppose to make that mistake. Myh how things get magnified when the pen can't hold a lead.

Dodgers pen is worse than the Sox but somehow they mange to win games.

You don't think Dodger fans were happy taking Kershaw out.

Not a fan of the modern day pitcher. Throw thru a brick wall and get as many Ks as possible and struggle after 5. It's fine if you got a decent pen. The Sox pen has too many mental weaknesses. I expect Hahn to trade for more of them at the deadline.

They are equally bad at both.

So should Katz and that batting coach. Reinsdorf is not into winning with these coaches. Next up Boston interim manager.

You got the wrong sport. It's not like the NFL. Plus you are forgetting this organization is horrible at drafting developing. If the Sox were an NFL team they would go for a punter in the 1st round.

Did something happen to Clevinger? He was pulled early.

Hahn will make a trade and it becomes bullpen sucks always. I don't think it wojuld be a bad idea to replace the pitching coach either. It's always good to know ahead of time that your best starter is not going to have a new contract.

I'd agree but they are not good at building either.

That can be summed up in one word -FAIL. The problems are scouting and development. Nothing will fix that until there's a new owner and goes in that direction. Then when the pieces are in place, spend the money.

The dilemma of a bad baseball organization. When guys are hot at the plate catching the baseball is secondary. We've seen enough where catching the baseball is secondary. Also drafting one dimensional players is gonna get you. Too often is they can hit better than they field which only the best accomplish 30%. So the solution is for 1B/DH. As for trades do I need to remind you that Hahn and co. are bad at it? It makes you more irritated when they play much better for the team they are traded to. This Jake Burger story is a feel good story. Who remembers that no long after he was drafted and those injuries many didn't know he existed anymore.
