Time to check the boxscore to see who gave up the slam 

Leasure, because he's a fucking p****, can't wait til they dump his ass too

That’s one juicy 2-0 meatball from Leasure…

Also, when will Grifol realize Kopech in the 8th inning has been a total debacle?

Kopech will be out of baseball in 3 years.  He's gonna piss off a lot of fans of future teams.  Dude literally cannot throw a baseball where it needs to go.  It's like he can't shut off his brain and just let his arm do the work.  His brain is overanalyzing every single millisecond that the ball is in his hand

The Angels deadline deal looking infinitely better than the Dodgers one

You mean we didn't get a ton of value for Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly? Shocking. 

Leasure's going to be a good pitcher.

This bullpen has been bad all year but particularly atrocious the last week or so.

Also, did we just get crap sent to us from the Dodgers? Pretty sad when Trayce Thompson ends up being the best part of that trade.

8th inning, 9th inning, 1st inning.  Dude cannot handle the mental approach to pitching,  period.

He is as big a head case as Sox have had in years. Overrated

At the end of last season, I guarantee people were more excited about the Dodgers return

I remember people being most excited about Quero.

My tv went to the Padres game. At least we don’t have female announcers. Ffs. They can’t let us have anything.

I was.

Well that was revolting. Again, it's tough to blow a 4-0 lead in the eighth. Good luck to whichever team wants Kopech. And Leasure probably has lost trade value. Looks like he's throwing meat up there. Julks and Robert had nice games for all the trade lovers.

Ozzie is right this dude has no idea how to get the last 6 to 9 outs of a game. Two seasons with no defined roles out of the pen, two seasons of disastrous results. Not saying Kopech would improve or anything but what was the plan tonight? Another 2 inning save? What a horrible waste of a wonderful performance out of Fedde.

Probably because everybody tends to be very reactionary and only look at things on a surface level. Ky Bush has a rough year in the year he's traded, and he's a bum, despite being a relatively quick riser with a very ideal makeup 6'6/LH/killer mustache. Leasure's had a nice year and has a terrible inning tonight, and he's a bum. Leasure's fb has always been a better pitch than Kopech's, but people don't notice because he sits mid 90's rather than high 90's.

Leasure is the perfect example of a young, talented ballplayer being mishandled by a manager and having it negatively effect his career.

He's a 14th round pick in his rookie season and he's been pretty solid. PItching is hard. He'll be fine.

This is just categorically untrue, unless you're ONLY counting 2024.  But then you can't use the term "always" if that's the case.

Incorrect

Incredibly, well maybe not, this was the 13th time the Sox took a lead into the 7th inning or later...and lost!

It also is the 6th time just in the last 10 games!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't make this stuff up can you?

Now halfway to 100 losses in the books.

It is also the third time Kopech has been directly responsible for losing a late lead.

One more loss for being back on track for 40-120...40/41 and 120-122

fwiw, 03 tigers were also 17-50 (went 43-119)

Kopech is just wasting everyone's time and money  at this point.  Just release him and be done with it.

That's just not going to happen.   Although Hahn should obviously be more under the microscope than Getz.
