Not one freaking mound visit by Cooper the entire game

The excitement on this pitching staff this offseason was so sky high. I was one of those guys for sure. But after the Kopech Opt-Out, Reylo's Disaster start (injury) and today, what do the Sox have to quickly turn around? Gio is obviously in the Rotation out of necessity, but realistically do they have any option other than Detwiler? Or do they just go with Cease every 5 and deal with another developmental season?

Please tell me how the fuck Fry makes sense in this spot?  Waving the white flag already...

That may be due to covid purposes. Maybe no more mound visits?

Well that was an awful pitch call by Grandal.

Did he have any in the other blowouts either? I seem to remember, back when he was in his prime, he'd be out there to calm down or adjust a pitcher quite often (and it would work usually too) and now I feel like I see him get off his ass once a week.

They’re allowed

The Cleveland Twins. Nope it's just our shitty pitching. 

Nicky looks like he's running in quick sand 

This team will be out of it after 10 friggen games. You need 3 quality starters especially in a 60 game season to make any kind of noise.

First few weeks are tough while reality drop-kicks your expectations into the f-- dumpster. 

Well got the double play 

I remember last year when they called up Cease and many of us were saying to temper our expectations because it wasn't like he was dominating in the minors

maybe he and Lopez aren't really MLB ready quite yet

Hopefully Cease will continues his development and learn something from this game. You can't only live at the top of the zone.

How the hell are we only down 4-1?

Yep they have to keep him in the rotation. Somehow they have to find some guys for the coming years they can rely on besides Dallas.

McCann has caught our only good start of the year. Grandal hasn't caught any.

Sox may want to think about an opener when Cease is due to pitch but this organization is just stuck in a  rut. 

Cease has a chance, Lopez is a no-go. Rodon still in recovery mode.

Nice Jose 

Damn it's hard following this team. 

Abreu lead off double off the wall!  Lets fucking go!

1-2 count lefty/lefty where you need a strikeout and he called for a low fastball. 

As someone who never really watched Grandal (I never watch the NL), is he always pretty bad at calling games behind the plate?
