How many other MLB teams look like they will get shut out almost every single game?  This has to be one of the worst offenses in MLB history.

Right.  The worst team in baseball,  but he is being dramatic.  He's already shoving out guys he signed after only 3 weeks.  

They were only brought in to be shoved out.  Why does it matter when it happens.

I don't see it with Sosa. Light hitting utility guy at best.

I’ve never seen anything in him, another overhyped player by organization

Getz needs to make an emergency trade for more offense.

Why even bring them in at all?  The thing I don’t get is why spend money on guys that have absolutely no potential trade value?

If it was 3 weeks, there was no point in bringing them in the 1st place.

Same TBH. Before I saw him play I figured he was like a poor man's altuve or something if he panned out. He looks like a poor man's Yolmer at best.

Slider speed bat with opposite field power that won’t work in the majors

And if they weren't shoved out, the complaints would be "he's stubbornly keeping the trash for too long"

Well you lost your 18th ranked org prospect while you were shuffling garbage out and in on the 40 man.

You just never see teams, especially an offense, this overmatched in the majors.  I wonder when Jerry’s arrogant ass will blame Sox fans.

I think only Brandon Belt is left at this point, after Getz already scrounged Grossman and Pham.

stone will tweet something soon, book it. 

On the bright side, Nastrini is the first person to play on the Sox that has a chance to be on the next competitive team.

Let the legend speak 

Seeing AJP absolutely destroy the Sox today was awesome

So we are supposed to applaud a GM who acquired terrible players in the offseason that should be DFA after a matter of weeks?  The decisions taking place now don’t remove the fact that Getz signed all these losers in the first place.  The fault always goes back to him, regardless of these sad excuses people want to make for him.

There were obviously no in house options and he had little money to spend.  Who was he supposed to bring in?  Who are these cheap great players with trade value?

Maldonado, Lopez, Flexen, Hill, DeJong and Leone sucking was the most predictable thing ever.  I think we all would have been shocked if they didn’t suck.

Uh…how did he not catch that? Cost him a strike.

Maldonado drops more than Grandal.

The catcher can't catch.  The hitters can't hit.

Meh. I didn’t understand his shots at Colson and Schultz for no reason.

He's panicking.  He has a plan, but as soon as he got hit in the mouth he started flailing for anything and everything.  What he did over the winter made sense if he was trying not to rush people, but him releasing prospects to sign flotsam only to release them a week later is some OOTP crap.  He really is acting like he isn't capable of doing this job.
