Doesn't Romo throw sidearmed ? Tim probably just doesn't see him well . I would imagine it's sort of like lefties against the old Sale.

I meant just throw him sliders. It's not like he'll walk any.

Why are things that are predictable never predicted ?

Sox hitters struggling against sliders?  This has been a thing for years.  That’s what my sarcastic “this should be fun” comment was referring to.

On that 1-2 pitch to Cruz they should throw FB up and in, Instead u get a changeup in.

But you didn't predict anything but fun

And then nothing above the belt to Sano.

You guys may know the analytics on how to pitch these guys but you will never outclass Ricky’s decision-making gut!

I mean if Herrera is going to get the snot kicked out of him that FB is a waste if he doesn't knock someone down once in a while. It's time for him to man up and tell these hitters to back off.

Castillo and his PEDs managed to milk $15 million guaranteed out of Hahn.  Between his suspension last year, injuries this year, and overall suckiness without his PEDs, he pretty much robbed Hahn blind.

Yet another awful signing by our GM.

Yup, Hahn should have built a time machine so he could of had the benefit of hindsight prior to making the move...

It's not analytics . It's the way baseball has been played for years except for now you can't throw inside because batters get mad about it. But fuck the hitters the pitchers have to do what's necessary to take control of the plate.

This turned into a blowout as expected.

Yay, another year of Herrera.  Good thing they overpaid for him last offseason.

Quick, name all of Hahn’s good signings.  McCann...  ummm...

Now, name all of his bad signings.  This one is much easier.

I still am interested to hear how the Sox plan on competing with this Twins team the next few years. Their offensive talent is insane, and they have a lot of open payroll also going forward and arguably a better farm system.

He's all kind of out of whack. I think he can be much better . You know how relievers flip flop . Not counting on it of course but it wouldn't be totally unexpected to see him be much better next year.

Why bring Robert up when you can watch Leury and his steller CF play.

Is this fun bad yet?

All you can do is laugh at this point.  ?

You should limit it to bad signing for over $3M a year so it's not like really really long.

Problem is he had all sorts of red flags based on metrics after last year. I don’t disagree that he could turn it around though given the volatility of relievers.

Sox don’t need to win the division to win the World Series.

There's a fight at the bat rack.

Hector should retire after this game.

So this whole rebuild was to be a wild card team?

This one went downhill fast.

Even their bat boy probably wants to hit.
