This team looks like they really it tonight

So funny how they really did collapse once Engel dropped that ball.

Just checked the score 

Have these clowns just totally given up?

Longest home stand of the year and they play like absolute horseshit against supposedly awful teams.

Way to sell those 2023 season Tix boys.

The Padres are everything we want the Sox to be from a team management perspective. 

I feel that way about so many teams, but not the Padres. I''m jealous they have an owner who seems to care about winning, though.

Definitely seems that way.

Vaughn has walked 7 times in the last two months. That’s atrocious for his skill set

It's a run thingy !

Menechino is excited in the dugout after three opposite field hits.  It’s the perfect inning. 

PROGRESS!!! We scored a run with only 3 singles instead of 4!

Sheets with some power!

Yep

Good things happen when you pull the ball in the air ?

You have to keep Sheets around for no other reason than Menechino hasn't ruined him. He just says fuck it, and hits bombs.

See homers can go out to RF for us too

That one pissed off FM.  Everyone else is happy. 

Sheets at home !

Now I can be more pissed at Gio for sucking

Holy fuck we scored 4 runs!

Funny how Stone mentions the trip to Charlotte made a difference.

I haven't watched in a while now, but that seems very telling as a summation of the entire club. Andrew Vaughn is a good hitter. He's been a good hitter literally his entire baseball career, and that really hasn't changed now that he's in MLB. 

There doesn't seem to be any plan, any strategy, and certainly any urgency to put good AB's together, work up a pitch count, play the long game, etc. It's a bunch of individuals going up to the plate without a gameplan and hoping for the best.

Weird what home runs do, isn't it? 

Here comes LOLeury to end the rally though.

Miggy’s boys don’t quit!

Might have left Singer in a few batters too long. He was throwing BP up there and getting hammered.

Maybe Stone is onto something. Sox should give everyone a trip to the minors to remember how to hit... They certainly aren't getting that instruction here.

Gavin can stay.

With 2 outs and a run down is a tease.   Then it being a close game the pen will have something to say about that. 

Awful
