A lot of placeholders currently employed. Not a lot of young pitchers worth bringing up. Just playing out the string with what they have.

It sure makes for unentertaining baseball.

But we knew it was going to get really bad after the deadline. The combined talent with Charlotte and Sox would be lucky to be a championship team in AAA.

I know no such things.....I still get pissed at games like that 2nd one at Wrigley.....I may have a problem. 

One more thing...why the hell did the offense get worse after the deadline? I'm not thrilled about the Burger trade but he shouldn't have made that much of a difference.

I hope to god I don't have to see Clevinger in a Sox uni past this year.

What's the bigger job for the new GM? Pitching or Offense?

Eloy has come up in big spots tonight....nada.

Yes. 

This team needs to be burned to the ground.

Did it get worst ? It was pretty bad to begin with. I mean they took their 2nd best HR hitter off the team. Last year was it no one hit 20 HR's . This year you had 2 guys would were headed for over 30. Can't win with a whole bunch of guys who don't get on base and .600ish OPS .

How do you burn a dumpster fire to the ground?

Time to admit that he just kinda sucks.

If you lose a ball in the lights or sun it's usually ruled a hit. Happens all the time in the OF.

It sure feels like it got worse. I know. It's all just gradations of abysmal.

Get rid of everyone except Luis Robert. Bring up Barons players. Draft and develop better. Be good several years from now.

Every ball in play is a hit now.  Dumbfuck Manfred wants to artifically inflate batting averges to make it look like his dumbass changes made a difference.

That guy doesn't deserve an rbi for that imo.

Charcoal can be reignited.

Jason said he lost it in the lights. The lights get the E, not Moncada.

 

 

Jason likes everyone

I'm waiting for that day that he says "oh yeah, that guy is a real a-hole"

I'm not saying he's good, I am saying what we have in the Charlotte bullpen can absolutely be worse.

See the thing is it's easier to root for a younger guy like Ramsey than Shaw.

Yup, just seen this on Twitter. Lots of comments saying the same thing, inflating offensive stats to make the changes look better.

 

Another great effort. Boy they really do play hard for Pedro, huh?
