At least you can still have fun on a Friday night, even when the Sox are sucking.

Drumsticks and wings on the Weber using the Vortex indirect heat method… along with some cold beers to make me forget about this pathetic Beavis shutout.

What’s the sauce?

Losing these first 2, with your best starting pitchers, with the Yanks, Rays, and Red Sox coming next is not good. I feel like the team is hitting a wall right now.

Agreed, think we are finally going to see this team break a bit. No matter what the season has been much better than we thought and the talent is there, we just need more experience and a few more pieces

Sox have induced some pretty ugly ABs from Yordan

This feels a lot like the Boston series where we’re facing a team that’s catching fire.

I hate to say it but I agree, all season long this was in the back of my mind. I mentioned the other day that these next 2 weeks were crucial and if we were still 7 games over we might hang in there but I really don’t think that’s going to happen.

The sox catchers are literally bad at everything.

Never easy for a catcher to handle those throws but I thought Pena should have been out there. Not an amazing throw from Braden either.

Our catchers just can’t catch the ball.

First, I marinated them overnight in some Buffalo style hot wing sauce, Frank’s Hot Sauce, and Stalekracker’s Cajun Two Step seasoning. Now I am brushing them with Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Barbecue sauce.

Quero turning into a zero tool player is quite a development failure. I’m all for replacing the guy in charge of the catchers they brought over from Milwaukee.

Colston needs to go back to Phoenix. He's so lost pretty much since NY.

I mean of course this team is performing better this season then any of us expected so I guess we shouldn't be too upset. But when they are in first place the last week in July and the AL is so down this year you just don't want to see them blow the chance of making the playoffs.

Do you use the indirect heat method so it cooks longer and gets a smokier flavor, or does it just cook more evenly that way?

Don’t love the idea of replacing the bench coach or a team that is going to improve by a shitload of games from last year.

Oh for the days of guys like AJ, Fisk, Officer Karkovice, Ed Hermann and Sherm Lollar.

Certainly not good when you're depending on Erick Fedde to not get swept.

Keep him the bench coach, bring in someone new to oversee catchers. The fact they’re the worst in the league in almost every aspect is troubling.

I’m thinking that the Sox are just days away from going from buyers to sellers. Getz and Reinsdorf have to know that the fine run by this young team is now off the tracks.

Mason Miller won't solve this dilemma.

If we can't hit no one will help us..Really though what the hell happened to our team on just looking lazy swings at bat.Its hard to watch anymore

Mainly because it will crisp up chicken wings on the outside without drying them out and overcooking them. Low and slow…

Vortex

About Vortex Indirect - Direct Heat | Low & Slow Cooking/...

It all started in an effort to get ‘fried-like’ skin on my chicken wings on the grill. How could I get that high heat without the burn or uneven heat.

No shot…also who would anyone want from the Sox that would be available?

Let’s have our own 6th inning….only in the 8th

You want to fire the bench coach because Quero got his swing all fucked up. Great call.

They’re also the worst by far at challenging.

There are some insane takes in this thread. Won three series in a row prior to this.
