Speier hits Torres on purpose, gets tossed. Bazardo comes in and immediately gives up a 2 run homer. Just Mariner things.

Maybe in a year or two if the Sox have a deeper starting lineup they can move him down a little in the order and take some of the pressure off.

You have to remember as well he's still a very young, raw, player learning the ropes. That takes time.

Agreed. I’m not trying to be a hater or saying he needs to go. Unfortunately, they need him now at least a slightly better version of him. It’s hard to watch him hit right now. Just hope he runs into one.

Seattle 4-2 over Detroit

Mize gave up eight for Padres in Shields/Peralta impersonation lol

Let’s see if we can’t steal one tomorrow. Either way let’s get the hell out of Boston…hopefully for the rest of the calendar year.

another tough lefty tomorrow. Would rather have Sam start, sit Colson tomorrow

Sam should start every game. He’s a grinder and makes things happen, regardless if a pitcher is a righty or lefty.

In all fairness, most of the AL is mediocre. Only the Red Sox with this incredible stretch they are having, are battling the Rays and Yankees for the East. The Rays and the Yankees, that we saw last week, were playing about the same as us.

Go out and sweep the Indians this weekend.

The Astros woke up and have gone 12-2 in their last 14. The AL wasn't going to stay broke all season.

Not sure how that is true when they are 7-3 in their last 10

The Cubs start PCA and Busch, both lefties, against all pitchers every game. Sam is no PCA but still one of our best players. Should start every game. You can always retract if it does not work out, which I doubt though.

They've been selectively bad. The overall numbers aren't that bad, but they've blown a lot of games.

And no Skubal now. They have thrown in the towel.

Detroit looks like a bigger threat

Would have been a bigger threat if they had kept Skubal.

Boston Smith has homered for the Arkansas Travelers.

But against minor league pitching.

You GOTTA drop Kolson down in the order, it should have been done 3-4 series ago. Until he either listens and adjusts, or swings his way out of whatever he is in, he can't hit in the lineup.

Certainly not cleanup. Will is stubborn reluctant to change.

Did Romo get pulled?

Hard for me to understand why Quero was sent down, and we keep Romo who is worse instead.
