Jays were giving the Sox a free run if Jose lays off 2nd pitch which was 6 inches outside. Again, our lack of patience and approach at the plate catches up.

They were not going to pitch to Jose with burger on deck and let him get himself out.....he did just that.

ya i thought the same thing - the pitching coach told him to go around him

Definitely had the two guys you wanted up right there. Just so rarely have we gotten the big hit we need this season. 

Here comes a Jay Cuda tweet about hitting with the bases loaded.

McGuire is worthless if he keeps not getting strikes called that are in the zone 

every game he's behind the plate we're all still complaining about the umps strike zone. If that's the case, he has no value as a big league catcher. Carlos Perez should be here already.

The org is gonna be several years too late to finally hiring a modern hitting coach just like they are with everything else they do

The Sox would need to start by hiring a Modern GM who was allowed to hire a modern day Manager, who in turn would hire capable 1B &3B & Hitting coaches.

But the real problem is JR hiring all his kiss asses over the years on the cheap.

Ump sucks balls

Umpire sucks 

when is the last time we scored over 5 runs?

I’m shocked that righties have come in and this team stopped scoring.  

We are not a threat whatsoever

It’s astonishing how dead this team is, yet there’s no urgency to shake things up.

only us Sox fans would be subject to a GM with a lifetime get out of jail free yard and yet also one completely afraid to change things up and admit failure in time to save a season.

Nope because our big acquisitions will be Lynn, Jimenez and TA coming back off injuries. Maybe Yolbert will get a shot after they fall behind Detroit for 4th ?‍♂️

Even though he sucks, would like to see Grandal hit for McGuire in the 9th.

Usually I'd say Moncada for Mendick too but Mendick has earned the AB the last 2 nights.

Wouldn’t shock me at all if they finished 4th, seems like it’s a matter of which team gets and stays healthier first.  Guardians will get 1st or 2nd IMO.

You a betting man? I’d happily take a wager that Guardians don’t finish top 2. 

The Sox did a lot of poor drafting during the rebuild/tanking years, but I think their evaluation of Burger was correct. He would have been very good (and maybe he will still be) without the achilles injuries and lost development time.

Our Manager doesn't believe in pinch hitting or defensive substitutions.

No bets, just think they’re a more well-rounded team with way better coaching.

If they're going to be bad, might as well go all the way with it. Getting a high pick + draft pool is badly needed for the system and maybe it would get TLR to walk away.

Sousa being allowed to pitch to Vlad Jr is comical, regardless of the outcome 

A Vlad bomb felt inevitable

Haha, fuck off Tony.
