Colson has just missed two

Baldwin is a disaster defensively 

How's his OF play?

That's really where there is room for him, the current mediocre veteran placeholders notwithstanding.

I think he’s OK in left and center but we have centerfield covered with Robert, I’d probably go with Baldwin and Benintendi sharing time in left and DH. M.Taylor should be the 4th outfielder period.     
We have another problem when Vargas and Meidroth return and that’s what to do with Sosa.

Someone make a thread "pushing towards 120+ losses" before tmr's game. Please and ty.

Got a break there.

Dumb play there.

Why are Sosa and Robert out?

Down a lot

I think Venable thought this game was lost and took them out for a rest.

That was big out.

That was an atrocious at bat.

Baldwin is really bad with RISP. Way too aggressive

But he can hit, gotta find a position.

That ball was wind blown. It's why no one could catch it. 

But  Brooks  does need defensive work.

He also ended Robert's on base game streak by pulling him early. 

Rojas finds a way every game to do something bad

That's what veterans bring....consistency 

Colson almost another homer

What was essentially a complete non-effort at the deadline was the tell.  You can't be so woefully unprepared at the deadline, like Getz was, if you are  seriously rebuilding.

It's really the same kind of player that's been around here for a decade.  Not very athletic.  Not a lot of power.  No speed (they'd be last in steals, but for Robert).  They don't seem to have a driving philosophy or anything.  Just load up with AAAA level players and hope for the best.

Gotta love when worthless Julks hits 2 doubles to make Getz think he’s good again…

The most important thing though is they work cheap! 😉

Ugly, brutal game. I think we can put to rest the "momentum" talk right after the All-Star break.

They sucked me back in again...and this week, they just suck again.

This isn’t as fun as when they were winning all those games and scoring all those runs 

The Sox yearly tease was nice while it lasted.

August/September baseball is when the real teams show up...at least until the final week of the season like we saw with DET last year.

They still scored 5 or more in 3 of the losses, and managed 3 or more in all of them,  these defeats have been mainly down to the pitching.
