Hang on I am just getting caught up. Chris Murphy gave up the big hit......WTF

Castillo next year reminds me of Keuchel’s last year. Makes too much to DFA in offseason, but you know it’s going to be a disaster and they eventually cut him around the 10 start mark.

right after Colson flubbed the third out, it seems.

I have a hunch that Colson isn’t all that smart.

I'm not so sure it's the players.

They are all doing it to some extent.

I would at the very least expect players to get benched if they aren't executing the game plan, I even wonder if they have a game plan vs pitchers, they're all swinging away for the fences it seems and raking up a whole lot of non contact with RISP. At least make fucking contact, good things can happen when you put the ball in play, worst outcome is striking out.

Bad wrist which could be lingering.

it's really a testament to not having a solid farm

a reputation for winning needs to be established and not short stints of success.

That needs to come from ownership.

They’re very easy to pitch to now. Fastballs away with RISP, slow stuff low and away. Benintendi hasn’t seen a changeup he won’t swing at out of the zone.

0 for 7 with RISP, 7 LOB.

1st and 3rd with 0 outs, 2 of your worst 3 hitters coming up next totally fucked that inning, if Venable doesn't move those guys down to the bottom vs Cleveland then he cares more about feelings than winning

The actual order doesn’t matter now. Too many guys are struggling.

What really sucks is the boring ass Guardians are going to get a first round bye.

Yeah, nowhere to hide them except on the bench.

We all know how this is going to play out. The stinking Guardians know how to win when it counts. Look what they did down the stretch last year to overcome the stinking Tigers. You know Kwan and Ramirez will both go 9 for 14 in the next 3.

Something tells me Castillo's Mom is not gonna be happy.

That's 10 losses in the last 14 games buy my count.

9th time in those games the Sox scored three runs or less.

Offense is "home run or nothing" and its biting them in the ass.

Season on the line next three days.

Like Harry Caray once said, "I hope you don't have a weak ticker..."

If we don't take at least 2 of 3 against CLE I think the division is over

If you takeaway Colsons home runs he's hitting less than .200. He can't catch a simple ground ball today and it cost the team a game. Unless he hits a home run he is useless.

Roch will save us from Kolson, the sooner the better

Also yet another game where a two out hit by the opponent is a back breaker.

After an error by our amazing defensive SS.

Lol, you say this as if the Sox offense isn't boring af also

Very sad that all this team had to do was not suck in September and make the playoffs.... unfortunately they currently suck.

It wasn't boring until September hit.

I think it matters, they're getting multiple chances every game to drive runs in, it's not like they aren't getting on base

Guardians have a negative run differential

Can’t believe he didn’t play today

I can totally believe it, a while back when our catchers weren't producing s%*# while Teel was out, Quero started to get hot...and he was sent down so Romo could get more ABs I guess.

I never said the Indians were great, my point is that we aren't so hot s%*# either, especially recently...

God I hope I'm wrong and the Sox jump on those motherfuckers but I just don't see it
