Sizemore is such a coward for playing him today.  Baldwin better be hurt.

Sizemore is doing exactly what he is told to do.

1 pitch, 1 out.  Nice effort, Robert.

That’s the type of effort that makes him not come close to reaching his potential. 

The Sox are so weird right now.  They straight up won't play certain guys... until they become a trainwreck, and once that happens, they play every single dang day.

Every decision maker should be fired, but of course they won’t.  They should be so embarrassed at the return they got for Fedde and Kopech.  They would have received so much more if they waited until the offseason, but they just had to have zero tool Vargas.

Sizemore loves Sosa and Sheets, they said this last night 

I'm feeling pretty confident here, in both our record in games after 6 when trailing, AND...just our ass team.

 

It’s amazing that Getz has put together a team with a RF and 3B that have no power at all.  It’s quite the strategy.

It’s not hard to figure out.  Robert, nowhere near his potential.  Eloy, not even close.  Yoan, apparently doesn’t even want to play anymore.  Kopech, horribly below expectations.  What’s the common variable here?  Maybe ask the former Director of Player Development,  I hate to say it but Montgomery is going down the same path and it looks like Colas and Sosa are already halfway there…

Greg will definitely be asking for fan refunds on this one.

Yep, that's pretty obvious by how nothing at all has changed since he took over.

Everything makes sense when you realize he likes players that profile like him.

1 pm on a Thursday. Is MLB just trying not to make money or what

Yep and JR felt like he got burned by power hitting prospects so he told Getz to go after higher floor, low ceiling players.

Second hit of the game!!!

These guys couldn’t be trying less at the plate.  They deserve the record.

Same swings over and over again regardless of the count, besides being  one of the worst teams of all time, they are also the dumbest. Lopez is a joke at lead off, never tries to put the ball in play, home run swings all the time and he’s not a homer hitter, hasn’t come close all year. 
Has anyone on this team ever tried choking up, what a novel idea that would be. 
Somehow Getz has to be held accountable, he put together this horrendous team and hopefully is fired at the end of the year.

I'm sure those stands would be filled if it were a 6 or 7 PM game.

Why is Lopez still playing for this team?

We can say that about so many of them.

He has no future with this team and there are young guys who can get playing time over him.  

It's always that way on travel days but especially after school is back in session...so opposing teams can get out of town earlier.

When you have this kind of season, and with as awful as the next few years will be, you should blow it up and get all new decision makers into the organization.

No encouragement for lengthy Vargas at bat?

If they do beat the 62 Mets record it's all Get is going to hear the entire off season.

How could you let things get that bad when you were supposedly competing?

And didn't trade either Crochet or Robert.

Hey man, he's one of the few guys doing exactly what he was paid to do. Terrible bat, decent glove.

I’m 79 and I probably have a better arm than Benintendi.
