Riding newcomb into the ground

It’s truly amazing how he’s managing like there’s not an additional arm in the bullpen. It’s still so cool how Getz has provided so little in terms of righty relievers. How pathetic is it that they’re pushing Castillo starts back and Brazoban isn’t even being activated?

Honestly, why was Davis taken out after 5 innings anyways? He had 68 pitches and it's not like they were killing him

Probably trying to limit his innings.

Ha!

He’s saving the pen because we don’t have a starter that can go 6 innings.

Martin had 68 pitches. Dont know why you dont let him go more. But then you ride newcomb way more then they should've

Because we didn’t score?

so if it was 1-1 in the 7th it's cool to use him but if it is 1-0 it's not? That makes no sense

The Pirates have so much more talent on their roster

If you consider Mune and Colson both lost and Vargas looking elsewhere for a FA payday…

3 or fewer runs scored in 8 of the lat 15 games.

2 good starts from Martin.....2 losses

If that happens, Sox will be back to last in the division.

There are two things for certain in life, the sun will rise in the morning and expect a Sox choke job in September

No sense of urgency with CLE and likely Astros losses…and Castillo pushed back to weekend

Feels like they’re on trying to run out the clock with old four corners UNC offense

Kept saying the offense is more of an issue then the pitching.

The difference between this one and the previous one is that those teams actually had some expectations. This one didn't, so it wasn't really equipped to handle a season long workload of trying to win everyday. Getz screwing up the deadline just made things worse.

The Cardinals haven't been playing well lately, so i'm hopeful for that series..

Hard to score when only 2-3 positions are contributing

2010 12 Not that often in recent years because só far back

You can argue not catching Astros in 2021 as well

Meanwhile Sonny Gray heading for twenty wins

Still makes me irrationally angry that they’re spending such a large portion of next year’s payroll on Castillo

Put up a three spot you geeks and then hit a walk off in the 9th. Thank you.

Ump didn't mind how long it took to see the challenge when he knew the pitcher was about to blow it

Kind of the case in 1990 and 2000 and even 2005 losing Ordonez Lee Valentin

It's funny that this ump has been missing on high strikes all game and nobody bothers to challenge those, but the 2 challenges they do issue are pitches that are nowhere close to the zone.

Reminds me a ton of 2012 when they couldn’t score against Guthrie type pitchers down the stretch

Started at the deadline giving these guys no spark at all.

This team has been dead for a while.

Murakami has been abysmal

Colson has been terrible outside a small stretch of games

Meidroth has killed this team with his inability to put ball in play with runners on 3rd

Starting pitching is horrid

They need to realize they have 17 games left with everything in front of them.

Stop playing like your balls have shriveled up!!!!!
