Sox getting shut down by a guy who was out of baseball at the start of the season is so ironic

From Vegas to Soxtalk, knowledgeable folks picked this roster to easily win the division. That's about the only defense for Hahn that feels valid. This roster is under performing, which I put on Tony, injuries, and players. 

The non impact deadline is also on Hahn. 

This past offseason and the trade deadline, zero RFs or LH bats, overpaying Leury & Harrison, overpaying shitty pen arms, total lack of depth.  There is plenty of blame to put on Hahn along with TLR & JR.

Joe Kelly is out due to lightheadedness?  These fuckers are soft.  

What a fucking mess. This is the worst season I've ever witnessed considering the expectations going into the season. And, as a sox fan, that's pretty abysmal.

Handing out saves and holds is far more important than trying to win the game you are playing.

Lopez, Graveman and Hendriks only pitched once since Friday.

Total managerial incompetence.

Indians' announcers simply can't believe Sox are losing to KC 4-0 with Cease starting the game.

When are people going to realize it doesn’t matter who pitches against the Sox or who they play?  If you can’t score, every game has the potential to be too close.  This team has the explosiveness of the Bears offense under Henry Burris.

Couldn’t be more disappointed in the outfielder he’s turned into

no coaches up here to teach him

lightheadedness for Joe Kelly

Little too late Yaz

And there is Tony’s decisions costing you the game. 

Holy Shit he ran into one

Cleveland up 1 run, but Detroit has the "leadoff" runner on at 2B.

Harrison isn't even a Top Ten organizational problem right now.

But bringing him back next year seems kind of depressing.  Almost like doing the same with Hernandez would have been.

A HOMERUN

But really did you expect anything different? I mean we joke about the Sox always making these kinds of pitchers look good, but they've set that precedent. There has to be a REASON for it. It's so obvious the lack of leadership, discipline, the will to win, accountability, competence, it's all non-existant. I just can't believe this front office isn't doing anything about it after the rebuild they just went through. Absolutely asanine. Guess what Rick? Your team is STILL mired in mediocrity.

If the bullpen didn't take a giant dump on the field Sox are up 2-1

I love Yaz pimping his home run.  You have been garbage all year, yet you pimp that dong because you have done it so much.  Get out of here.

Hernandez still hasn’t homered this year. Was he using an aluminum bat the first half of last season?

With the 2 runs, Cease can’t lose it now, right…

10 singles produced 0 runs

1 HR produces 2 runs

I know its obvious, but still like to see it laid out

This is why you still need to use your “A” relievers in when down by a run or two.

Grandal homer showed TLR the importance to keep the game 1-0 and not bring Ruiz in when you have ReyLo and Graveman available.  Another unforced error of not using your best resources in a critical game situation.
