Well it was a good run while it lasted

This team is toast.

Anderson + Kelley/Dalquist for Verdugo and a year of Bogaerts, who says no?

I'd trade Anderson, not Kelley.  At least Kelley made an un assisted put out without dropping the ball.

I’m getting fed up with TA and his hotdogging it on the field. Bring up Yolbert Sánchez and put TA at DH.

80 to 1 wins the Derby. Cleveland's odds not much worse than that down 8-2 in the ninth. That guy who started the inning deserves scorn as well as contagious bad defense.

Sox will win anyway I think.

After Kwan batted in the 9th, Cleveland's odds of winning were 332 to 1.

 

When will the media start calling TLR out and hold him accountable?

Probably warranted since he hit two 3+ run homeruns in a span of two innings. Show this to the Sox though.

Well, lets see how quickly one terrible loss turns into 2 or 3. Either it was a terrible defense wake up call, or same ole same ole. Today will tell us a lot.

Don't want opposing players going nuts celebrating?  Don't suck at baseball.  Don't make 4 errors.  Don't throw a fucking meatball to a guy who just hit a grand slam.  Try scoring a run when you have the bases loaded with one out...twice.

Wrong *Kelley* bud

Is Graveman hurt? He has to be right?

Going nuts is putting it mildly, that guy needs some Valium.

Never

That's if you can call what he is doing 'managing'.

Being physically present in the dugout while half drunk and half awake doesn’t necessarily equate to managing the game.

Moncada doesn't love the game. He is more interested in eating, making bad music videos and chasing tail. I guarantee he is back on the IL within two weeks. I think both he and Eloy are on the same diet plan. 

If this is a serious post…

What a horrendous loss. my goodness

Went to bed in the 9th (east coast) thinking the game was over only to wake up to a loss.

 

Obviously a horrific loss and there are no excuses…but it’s not the end of the world either. Some (a lot) of the posts in this thread are ridiculous. 
 

It’s still the beginning of May and once Lynn comes back we will have 4 legit studs in our rotation. The hitting literally can’t get any worse and we have guys with proven track records. This team will play well above .500 in June, July and August and have 0 problems making the playoffs.

Did the same. Turned it off after the top of the 8th to go to bed and my phone started blowing up in the 9th and then I knew I had to turn it back on.

Lol, I thought Moncada looked ripped AF personally.  

Kopech must be wondering if he'll ever get a 'W', at this rate.

Being in shape has never really been Moncada’s problem, unlike Eloy.  Lumping them together like that maybe says more about the poster than the player.

How many total did he have last year again?

I guess another aspect of this is that managers don't like to pull some guys who are contributing beyond the box score when the team is on a winning streak like this.  At least the guy hustles and he clearly has the  respect of the pitching staff.  And he's SO much better blocking pitches in the dirt and bunting, lol.

Last year Grandal caught 12/62, or 19%, which is a pretty significant decline for his career.

McGuire has caught 30% of runners for his career.

A J Hinch. Alex Cora.  I know their current teams are not doing well now, but they are better managers than TLR.

Cora was not an option. Boston wanted him back after his suspension.
