Considering we cant develop pitchers anymore, we should just trade all our top pitching prospects for some decent veteran starters

We are last in the league with a team ERA of...9!

The next closest team is the Blue Jays at 7.36...over a run and a half less.

Yeah but with this offense we are never out of any ballgame....I believe it because I heard Steve Stone say it.

Only 1 run added somehow

2IP, 52 pitches nice job

It just looks a lot worse if you're watching. Deep counts, curveballs all over the place, no command of pretty much any pitch. 

You cant fall 5 or 6 games under .500 in a 60 game season.

In the 2.2 games Grandal has caught we have given up ....

27 runs

In

21 innings

Right. Just like Sunday after being down 9-0. They were definitely still in that ballgame

I'm watching. It's a miracle that he's not down by 8.

Even with 2 quick innings he is going 4 max today, I doubt they let him go more than 80-85 pitches today

You were saying....

I said give the kid a few starts not a few innings.

It would be great to never, ever hear about that intrasquad performance again.

Also paints Yermin Mercedes' "skills" in a different light now

Down 9>3

I'm starting to regret my MLBTV purchase. Hope something turns around.

If this was Minnesota they would be. Probably more.

Let's see we will swing at every pitch this inning and be done after 9-10 pitches 

Maybe they should have carried 19 pitchers

Knowing how this season has gone, Sox probably gave the hitters the scouting report for Plesac this game.

Um, it was 9-0 after 2 innings and they lost 14-2 lol.

Cool now the ump's outside zone is a mile

A few starts is over 25% of the season

Dudes just up there, taking strikes. This will be a great game to watch.

They are down by 3 right now. Who gives a shit about the last game? 

Sox seem scared.
