Why are the Sox so bad at scouting veteran players 

They're an organization of cronies.

Lance Lynn?

He’s awful at first base

He’s quickly becoming unplayable in the field.

The Cubs sold two Lemons they sort of fixed in Darvish and Kimbrel.

Hahn is so going to be the scapegoat if they lost in the first round

That's where this team is heading fast!

we gave up 5 years of Madrigal and Heuer for this turd.

Heuer since the trade: 25.2 innings, 0.84 WHIP, 1.40 ERA

If only there was some way to know Heuer could pitch better than Kimbrel over a 2 month span!

oh well, I guess there's no way to look up how Heuer and Kimbrel pitched in 2020.

If he does his job and doesn't hand Grossman second base, he wouldn't have scored there anyway.

I agree. You definitely don't turn an 0-2 count into an HBP and then fire a wild pitch to let him get to 2nd. He allowed that bullshit grounder to beat him. But at the same time, the first baseman needs to at least stop that ball from rolling into the OF. 

So I tuned in with 2 outs in the 8th. My bad.

Another fucking grounder for Sheets

Not even joking, Kimbrel trade is worse than tatis trade. At least we had no clue tatis was going to be a superstar. 

How many times are we going to have to see Kimbrel give up a run in the 8th? Looks like we’d have been better off waiting for Nick to heal and kept Huer.

To those who didn’t like the way “Ricky handled the team” towards the end of last year: thoughts on the he team under Tony as of a late with a better team?

It looks like the exact same team.

Sox don't score on anyone's pen

Kimbrel's margain for error is too small to allow runners to steal bases on him like they don't matter. He handed Grossman second base and because of that deserved to have the run score.

Weak ground balls.  This offense quit today.

I was told kimbrel was unstoppable and the greatest piece the sox could possibly have acquired 

Sox just can’t hit bullpens. This is embarrassing.  Again, there is nothing that suggests this team is a contender.

Just a pathetic effort today.

And that's exactly what happened

Stoney was suggesting walking the lefty Castro to get to the righty Haack which had not looked good tonight. Kimbrel has been a bust.  Can we still get a refund?

We have the 2020 Kimbrel right now, the Cubs got the 2020 Heuer. Poetry.

Can we send Marty and Doc back, to the trade deadline, and steal Hahn's phone before talking to the Cubs?

Time to start putting the regular lineup out there everyday to get this team in rhythm.  If Jose is at first this game, the Sox win.

Does any team go 1-2-3 after giving up a run more than the Sox.................lay down Sally
