Combination of an all time terrible bullpen and easily the worst offense in baseball. If they get down they have no chance of coming back and because the offense is so bad, they never have comfortable leads for the terrible bullpen and if the bullpen does blow a game, coming back is impossible.

Lol, absolutely hilarious. Let Ramos play an extended stretch and see what he can do. Amaya can't hit at all. When a much better organization than you like the Astros decides to DFA someone, and the Dodgers trade them for Miguel Rojas, it is a really safe bet they suck.

Greatest bullpen ever

Eh, if a guy had shown any talent at any point in time maybe. Nick Senzel is 29 and has been consistently trash in 1600 plate appearances. He is just bad.

Torkleson is such a dreadful player.

The Sox have had tremendous success with sending hitters down to the minor leagues to have them work on things and then have them succeed in the majors.

He’s been way worse than expected but he wasn’t good in San Diego either.

Signing Fedde was great (although I think the return on that trade is going to negate a lot of the good feelings there) and letting Crochet start (which Crochet was the one pushing for) was great. I genuinely can't think of anything else.

I agree and I think FIBA by putting in place the current rules isn't really developing any interest in 3x3. All the comments are basically about how bad the sport is and how little talent people are seeing on display.

NBA players can't do it though. FIBA made rules so you have to accumulate a certain number of ranking points to be eligible to play 3x3 in the Olympics and no one is going to let their players play in tournaments to accumulate ranking points.

I really really want them to break the all time losing streak record against the Cubs this weekend. The ultimate embarrassment.

No. Schiffren is horrendous and Stoney has mailed it in and is just collecting paychecks.

At age 23 (like Thorpe) he was walking 3.2 per 9 but also striking out 8.5 per 9.

Will see if the Sox can help him develop (LOL) but through close to 450 plate appearances the consistent trend with him is he just doesn't hit the ball hard.

Yeah, even in his first outings against teams he hasn't missed a lot of bats. It is possible to be successful that way but its really freaking hard and requires outstanding command.

Edman is a very good player when he is healthy and LA needs a shortstop. I think they think Vargas doesn't have a position and he just doesn't hit the ball hard.

Vargas batted statcast data is terrible. That is real concerning with respect to his upside.

Especially a team that’s actually had pretty good luck in terms of health. The pitching has stayed remarkably healthy all year and the 3 guys who got hurt among the position players are always hurt.

His peripherals weren’t good before this. Going to be brutal after this.

This is an insanely lucky start. Tons of hard hit balls and tons of base runners all game.

One lotto ticket in Gowens. Shuster and Schewmake are trash and were always going to be trash.

And he didn't dominate that league. ERA of 4.35, home run rate of 1.2 per 9 was quite a bit higher than league average of .9, and his K rate, while good at 10.9 wasn't dramatically higher than the 10/9 averaged in that league.

Even for this organization that would be unfathomably dumb. Fans don't care about trash players.

Shuster and Schewmake were obviously trash when they were acquired. That entire trade was a hope and a prayer that Soroka would revert to a level he hadn't been at in 5 years.

But why? Really mediocre hitter at this stage and plays terrible defense.
