I can't believe that ball went out.

Almost like it pays to hit fly balls with this ball

That play right there describes Puig in a nutshell. Very good defensively (nearly robbed Timmy of extra bases) then does something dumb after that (airmailing everybody and Tim gets the extra base).

Fulmer needs a change of scenery. He’s finished here.

He is a big disappointment.  Even in relief has shown nothing.

This juiced ball is a mistake.  Will make a travesty of records that have stood for years.  New records won't mean a thing.

I agree, but as you see this year, you will get left in the dust if you don’t adjust.

Every time Fulmer looks like he might be figuring it out, he goes and gives up a crooked number. 

I'd rather just DFA him than bring him to ST in 2020. He won't do anything here.

I think Fulmer has like a 15-20% chance of being something at this point, but I think it's unfair right now.  Let him get innings for the rest of the season and we'll see, for me at least.

The injury he sustained kinda ruined his little stretch where he was pitching better. The one thing I will say is he at least didn't walk anybody. By far my pet peeve with him. 

Ricky getting thrown out over dumb shit.

Honestly was the dumbest reason to get thrown out I've seen in quite some time. He was clearly wrong.

He has no clue how and when to stand up for his players.

Really mature...so, in your opinion, his season is a success.   The board will improve tremendously if we curse at each other, because that really makes a point both emphatic and quantitative/objective.

No wonder we've gone 11 seasons without making the playoffs.

I think they're more afraid he might have a Matt Thornton-like transformation with another organization, making them look even dumber...especially if they just cut him.

Instead, we can have another offseason of hype after he spends time with tech-ier version of Driveline.

I don't think a poster on an online message board telling you to fuck off has anything to do with the lack of success from this orginization.

So according to Steverson, Eloy doesn’t have to change much because of the success he had in AAA. God is this organization stupid, and it’s no surprise why so many guys struggle out of the gate.

They're ass backwards. It's incredibly frustrating.

See post above about Jimenez (from Fathom, link).

It's almost like people refuse to be objective about Sox players on this site...just like the coaching staff refuses to look at ALL the information available to make the best possible decisions in game management.

It's just another version of Don Cooper cursing out the fans at a remote promo for The Score for daring to question anything with this organization and especially his work with the pitchers.

Instead of responding intelligently and patiently, with evidence/support, just go on the offensive.

I love how when Giolito talks about what changed for him this year, not once did he mention something Don Cooper said or did for him.

Sox coaching staff is a tire fire. Outdated and way behind the times.

Fulmer is cannon fodder a complete wasted pick 

What a disappointing season for Jace Fry

Who cares? He came up in a meaningless year and did some good things. He'll grow next year, see Moncada see Giolito. No need to whine all the time.

I think it’s way to early to give up of Fulmer.he hasn’t pitched in awhile and is a bit rusty. Any pitcher who gives up a homer seems to get the gloom and doom treatment
