Hell, I would be way more accepting of a 120 loss season had he tore this thing down to the studs and had a very thorough search for an entire new baseball operation. Instead, what is happening right now is what he said he was avoiding with the hiring of Getz. With another season like it to follow after the selling is done.

July 25, 20241 yr I strongly believe this team will have a worse record than the 62 mets. 40-122 is likely.
July 25, 20241 yr 16 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: 50 games under .500. In July. Grifol is also under a .333 winning percentage in his career.

The Sox would need to play .500 baseball at 29-29 to win 56 games this year, or win 2 more games in a 58 game stretch than they did in 104 games so far this year. Why highlight 56-106? This is the current record for the most losses in a single season in Sox history.
July 25, 20241 yr Congrats on setting the record! Another new low, two double-digit losing streaks in the same season! Never happened before in 124 years! Well done, JR, Getz and Grifol! ?
July 25, 20241 yr Winning percentage back down to .260. Back on pace to top the 2003 Detroit Tigers record! 42-120!
July 25, 20241 yr 40 wins is closer than 100 losses. On paper. Yet 40 wins feels like a massive feat for this team.
