Moncada is the only hitter who's shown up today

Moncada is literally the only guy who has shown up today.

One hit.  One. Fucking. Hit. 

Moncada the only guy who showed up today, yet he gets far, far more vitriol on this board than Jose or TA.

McCullers led the AL in walk rate and we have no walks so far. 

It sure looked like he was getting every wrap around breaking ball called a strike...my guess is that is not the case all the time.

The Sox should look at every starting position player on their roster and ask would this guy start for the Astros, Rays, Doders, Giants. etc. Engel and Leury are resounding no's. Same (obliviously) goes for Cesar and he was their plan A plan at 2B for this year and next, which obliviously isn't good enough.

 

This is just not sensible.  Take a look at the Giants starting lineup below and tell me who on the Sox you would replace:

Are you really saying the Sox can't compete with guys like Wilmer Flores, Donovan Solano, and Lamonte Wade (Giants starters in the past 2 weeks)?  Seriously, there are very few teams in MLB that have All Stars 1-9 in their lineup.  Would you have taken the Astros CF before today?  Jordan Luplow, Manuel Margot, Kevin Kiermaier?  Get a grip it is ONE GAME.

He gets a lot, but I'm pretty sure Abreu has gotten plenty, especially this year. TA is lathered in butter, nothing seems to stick to him on ST.

But at least Cesar’s hamstring is healthy on the bench

These losers are gunna get shut out aren’t they?

That's been the case for their entire careers, so I don't see any reason for it to change in the future

One fucking hit. They better not make this the 2000 Mariners series all over again.

lmao where is the guy who kept saying this team was exactly like the 2000 one?

we suck on the road and didn't play for HFA, genius.

Right it is inexplicable. Sox are the only team in the playoffs with a losing record on the road.

If this series goes to 5 games, guess who we’re facing again? In Houston. Better learn from this game because their offensive approach has been terrible.

No that wasn’t me.

This game is going exactly how the 4 games in Houston went in June. So disappointing.

We look like we don't even care at the moment. 

they look like a team who doesn't half a fucking clue why they can't hit this guy.  a team with real coaches would've prepared them for what to expect vs McCullers, Sox are C grade in that Dept.  Not saying coaches makes this lineup win the game, but they wouldn't look like they have NO CLUE what's going on

Why we wasting pitchers 

Corpse ball is back!

No that wasn’t me.

lol no I know. I'm just wondering where he is now that his vision is starting to come into fruition. 

Why isn’t Lopez being left out there?!

now he goes to Crochet. Nice urgency idiot

Why not let Lopez keep going? Why give the Astros a chance to get more looks at the other guys?

So burning more arms in a blowout?  Brilliant.

This X 1,000. 

Too many clueless fans following this team lately.
