It is kind of crazy how bad they have been. I really hope it is just we are slow to start, if the offense is going to be close to this weak we will not survive this year

This is how the offense looked for most of July-October last year.  They're just picking up where they left off.

Dang Defense!

The Sox are just a hot weather hitting team.  I wouldn't worry about them plus they are not at full strength.  You have backups playing who are not very good.

Are we really going to see 18 innings of Danny Mendick today??

Wegner! I wish TLR would just pull the starters and make them play the next game. 

Robert 0 for his last 19

Robert is in a slump. He's been in one since the last game against Seattle. 

Robert looks terrible right now. Massive hole low and away in his swing.  This offense desperately needs him not to take a step back this year.

Cleveland has an offense this year. That should scare the living shit out of Sox fans. 

They have faced a lot of shit pitching, I don't think they will be nearly this good going forward

Seems like he’s soooo far off the plate and way too open

Just leaving work and checked the score.?

Very annoying but it only counts as one loss?

Box scores don't tell the whole story....but they tell most of it.  That's still 10 hits in 1+ inning.

Leury Robert.

I think it's quite possible that the offense(and individual players) aren't as good as we thought. Robert looks more like Mike Cameron than Mike Trout.

I thought him opening his stance was supposed to help him hit the inside fastball and not go for those low sliders away.

Problem is he’s chasing low and away and getting jammed by fastballs inside

I would disagree with this.

Agreed.  Clear the bench...put in Cairo and Katz to finish out the game.

The Sox have a lot of solid offensive players but Anderson looks like he might be the only special one.

I like Robert.

I thought it was problematic when I saw him getting blown away by a 94 MPH fastball in that last game against Seattle. That's the kind of stuff he did when he struggled at the end of 2020. 

Haseley into RF, Foster into the game.

Foster in there to finish this one out....for Ray Ray!!

Dallas to the pen?!?!?! RELEASE HIS FKN LOSER ASS

We can only hope he said something to the boys on the mound, or in the dugout, that hopefully quickens his release

Seeing everyone trying to pull outside breaking pitches is pretty frustrating. You know he's gonna throw them out there. Stone is right, he's barely pitching righties inside. 

Do we have an active hitting coach?

I love what Banks did today but not sure how much of a "Momentum Changer" it is when he came in to a 10-0 game and it is now 10-1.
