Picking names out of a hat would show better results.

Time for a Vaughn walk off

True, still, not much in the way of MLB player FA signings that we've had work out.

Absolutely.   

Vaughn gave himself no shot in that at bat

At any one time this year there are 1 to 2 guys in this pen who aren't a dumpster fire.  He can either try to use them as the bridge or closer, not hasn't seemed like ever enough for both.  Far be it from to to defend Pedro, but this pen is the personification of this season for the sox.

Vaughn at best tops out as a 770 OPS guy. He just doesn't have a lot of ways he can beat you. Not enough plate coverage, not enough raw power or batting eye to be anything more than average, at best up there.

Why are we so fucking bad at Manfred ball bro?

Luis lucky he didn’t hurt himself there

There isn't really a single arm in the bullpen, who is consistently getting the job done. I loathe everything about Grifol, but honestly....there is no right choice to be made once the starter is out.

Damn didn't even get to see fathoms reminder of Eloys 0 career walk-offs post because of the walk.

Instead of trying to move the runner over, he looked to be pulling everything

I was thinking the same thing.  Thought he hit the base wrong.

Leasure wasn't ready after all it seems.

Hey, welcome back Jordan Leasure!

And Pedro left  him in one batter too long, which did not help either.

Manfred ball really magnifies how fundamentally bad this team is at baseball.

that's what I'm saying. He doesn't have the plate coverage to just run into a lot of hits so he really needs to look to pull everything. And he doesn't have enough power or LA to make pulling everything a good hitter profile.

I doubt this team would score a run the majority of the time if they started every inning with a baserunner at 3B.

Ditto for the 1st through 9th innings 

But of course Kopech actually pitched well and only through 10 pitches so yank his a$$ Pedro!

No issues, as he threw a decent amount yesterday

that's the one thing I'd hammer him on. If a reliever is pitching well, just leave them in man.

There was an extra innings curse put on us after TLR let Liam be the ghost runner.

Did these announcers not know Lee was a switch hitter?

Especially if we are talking about 3-4 innings, which we are most nights.  Right now Brebbia is about the only non-long guy who isn't a dumpster fire.
