Seby has been bad tonight, but.....blame the ginger on the mound, for that one.

AV, Mendick, Zavala in the 9th....Murderer's Row!

Which you loved. 

Also I didn’t know they would have no idea how to call pitches for him.

Minor league baseball.

This trade is going to be an all-time flop by the Sox and it was an obvious mistake in the moment

Name a Hahn trade where he went to acquire talent turned out good? The Sale and Quintana trades don’t count. 

Cues @Look at Ray Ray Run for reaction and analysis on Kimbrel's wild pitch.

Zavala is the worst catcher I've ever seen. 

Codi Heuer >> Craig Kimbrel

This all started cause we couldn't get fucking Reese McGuire out. 

Nice 1-2 fastball to him. They’re making it too complicated...just throw the curve with two strikes

Looking like a pretty bad trade.  I honestly liked it, but I’m not very happy with the results so far.

I would also like to express my displeasure for this particular reliever.

I like to rag on Seby as much as anyone but that's on Kimbrel there.

Yep, Kimbrel just threw a pitch very few catchers would catch.

Why didn't Hahn want Yan Gomes again?

Kimbrel is a buster, you don't get to face shitty 8 hitter and pitcher in AL.  Hell with picking up his option in 22

No sweat! Vaughan/Mendick/Zavala comin’ up!!

Sebz can really block the plate back there. Pull him out.

I’m not a Seby fan, but any catcher blocking the pitch that scored the run would just be lucky. That was crazy wild.

Aside from Kimbrel’s wild pitch the biggest mistake of this game was pitching to Vladdy 3-0. The manager needs to be aware of the situation and make the call. Should have also been obvious to the pitching coach and catcher, but just awful decision overall that starts at the top. 

Not even fun watching this team play on the road against decent teams. 

Kimbrel really wasnt bad that inning. Having your second base shift 25 feet off the grass against a catcher was the real culprit there.

What is Selby doing?????

Seby’s D is getting progressively worse.  He has been a passed ball machine.  No way he can catch theKimbrel breaking pitches.  Although the 0-2 pitch byKimbrel was terrible, particularly with Seby catching.  Wish we had McCann still in the team.

I do think it's impressive that Seby has the fourth most passed balls in the AL, just three short of the lead

When he was supposed to be closer. As soon as I heard he wouldn’t be I hated it.

That's weak, even for you. Get out of here with that garbage. You loved the Sox acquiring Kimbrel, especially what they gave up. 

I know you're you, but it takes some real balls to call a deadline move "awful" three weeks after you loved it. 

What a waste of a start from Lynn. Also, if we can't hit Manoah, we sure as hell ain't hitting Berrios or Ray.

I'm sure Mendick will 100% be pinch hit for... but yea Vaughn is likely our only hope.
