Bummer should have been in to face Seager if you planned on using him.

The 100+ loss Sox took the season series from the later World series champs Astros.

To be fair, the 100 loss Sox also noticed a sound coming from the dugout on every offspeed pitch.

They still took 2/3 this series.

True. Unfortunately, so far we've played REALLY bad more than good. Hopefully just jitters but I am worried it is more than that.

You all are insane. That was bad luck, literally nothing else, on that double play. 

Yeah, that was a rocket. Abreu froze just as you’re supposed to. Robert crushed it, just one of these games.

True. But there's every right to be angry when you look at this team on paper. We shouldn't be this bad.

Isn't this the exact argument everyone makes about Madrigal that you reject?

Unbelievable how dumb and bad this team is.  Just a terrible first week 

I wouldn't call 3 wins on a west coast trip terrible.

If you bring him in now, how was he not in to face Seager last inning?  This is ridiculous.  I’m sure we will hear it’s Tony’s master plan to confirm how the holdovers are a bunch of losers.

Guys guys you don’t understand, this is the 7th inning, 7 is bigger than 6 and that makes it always more important.

No excuse. We have a dominant bullpen and better team. Inexcusable to just collapse like this yet again. 

Tlr bullpen god. Get some one loose. Jeeze

this team might not be above .500 

 

”Miss me yet?”

No, lol. Huge difference between 1 guy being bad and a whole team. But more than that, I made a lot of an analysis about this team and why I felt they weren't going to have as good a year as people thought. 

But I still gotta try to have SOME positivity.

Right now they are playing like a .500 ish team. Better talent but on pace to give away dozens of games because they can’t get out of their own way.

World Series or bust right guys!?

It doesn’t worry you in the slightest that Tony looks so incompetent?

Bummer at 93 mph on first pitch... Anybody else concerned?

No

The road to the ring. Yeah ok.

Feels like we’ve already blown more games than we did for the first 95 pct of last year

Exactly.  They're really to stupid to win. 

Bummer doing Bummer things.  Woulda been real nice last inning when it mattered.

Yeah cause our bullpen rarely blew leads. The bullpen has blown 3 out of 7 games already.

Honestly....yeah.

I know this is wrong, but that easy Bummer inning just pissed me off a little more.

No. I don't think he's looked incompetent. He needs to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the team.  Like today, Foster looked good last year. Not so much now. They will learn who to trust and not to trust as they are pitching this year. Bullpen pitchers are fickle.
