The supposed context is that it's a message sent to a group chat with some Sox fans in it and that screen grab was sent to a third party who chose to share it. Doesn't mean much to me whether true or false

Really?!?

It means that he’s stupid to say that to a group chat with Sox fans and not worrying or thinking that someone would leak it.

We have some here who already took the bait. It's on social media so it must be true.

Also I just don’t think Venable is saying it and if he said something like that it was VERY politically correct and did not sound like that at all.

Martin and Fedde REALLY getting it done tonight.

I doubt Quero said that but I really wanna know what's the facination with Romo.... Dude is terrible

I said in the original thread that it could just be a Photoshop. However, you don’t know if it’s real or fake anymore than anyone else, so I’m not sure why you are running your mouth about it.

At least Bart didn’t have an error tonight….hitless though of course

Need a reset. Fastest way to get one is a few HBP and a bench clearing brawl.

Start out with Duran. Maybe he can yell at Contreras for getting hit, then the Sox just stand back and let them fight it out.

Yeah I mean the strange English nudges a little towards being legit so I'm not confident one way or another about whether he really said that. Saying it to some group of people that apparently includes fans (I wonder if any of these are people he socializes with?) shows some poor judgment but nothing that really freaks me out without having other incidents/evidence. It's basically his lowest moment and I think he (and allegedly Will) are right that he's a better player than Romo right now. If he tweets out a "¿El Retiro?" then I'll change my tune

The thing with Quero, you address it and you move on. He’s 23 and he’s going through it.

I think I'd rather see Schweitzer work though this nonsense than Fedde.

We've been totally outmatched every single game against Boston...this ain't a fluke

Hopefully these Red Sox are like us and struggle to score after blowout wins.

I think the Sox have made it pretty clear how they feel about him

Quero being a wierd clubhouse ruiner would be a nice parting gift from Hahn after the fact.

Hopefully it rains next two days. Would much rather save Burke for Cleveland

Fede was doing fine in the rotation. Don’t understand taking him out and leaving Shultz in. Getz messing with a good thing.

Hmmm Boston ripping the ball and not striking out.Hey sox this is the way to hit

Schultz won’t be in the rotation for long

How does some advertising agency think "liberty biberty" is uproariously funny? It was stupid the first time.

I don't have a totally clear read besides he doesn't seem to be all the way on Korey Lee's level. If we stipulate the IG thing to be true, Sox may be operating on the "we like you so much we don't want you to be a backup right now" philosophy. Of course that's a thing you can just say to a guy who you see no need to demoralize any further. Sox brain trust clearly is getting intolerant of shaky framers behind the dish.

If the Sox are serious about winning the division, they have to replace Martin in the starting rotation.

He is absolutely terrible, and it is not just his last two starts; he’s been terrible for over five weeks.

I still think Plesac with his continual “51 games left” speeches as Martin continued to suck up was saying the same thing.

An example of sweet nothings coaches like to say: I remember my high school basketball coach telling me I was the most talented player on the team in the same meeting he was telling me that I wasn't going to be in the starting lineup anymore.

Know-nothing fan me, it seems they feel he needs regular playing time to develop, not to sit on the bench behind Joey Bart.
