Good God....this team really isn't playing good baseball. Add: this is really upsetting. I try to stay positive, but EROD is junk. Trade him this offseason. ERod has been a top two SP for us this year and has a 3.2 bWAR. Scared of other options if that's considered junk.

This season almost doesn't seem possible. How can basically the whole team have career bad years? Even the guys that have good stats have been bad most of the year. Betts, JDM, and Benni have decent stats but have played mostly well below expectations. Edrod WAS one of the consistent guys but he is joining the rest. Just bad. Vazquez, Holt, Devers, X, Workman, and Marco are really the only bright spots. Travis and Chavis for the most part as well. Like Darwin as well. Just play the kids.

Didn’t give up a homerun, on the bright side.

He will likely be about 8-10 million next year and he will have value. I think DD should be open minded about it. This is very poor against a terrible team. His body language is for shit. He needs to be better (and I know i am overly frustrated at this point.)

We are going to drop a series to the damn royals.
Hopefully they enjoy all the boos they get at home games the rest of the season.

I want this team to live up to their potential so bad and go on a run and repeat. I want that badly. I remain optimistic some how. I would also be ok if the team threw the white flag and we got extended looks at Chavis, Travis, Marco, Darwin, Dalbec, Feltman, Houck, etc. I can think of a few more. Shut down Sale. Release Porcello and Cashner. Let Eovaldi work as a starter in limited innings to get ready for next year. ETC.i have a long list of things I want. Maybe a other time. The key point is this. I want one or the other. Watching this team underperform nightly and drifting further back with no look at the future and starting to get tough to do nightly. There are a handful of players that should be shut down. Go on a damn run please or look forward to next year please.

Martinez got to earn those opt out dollars.

I remember when JBJ was one of my favorite prospects. He was slow to adjust to each level, but when he clicked he was so good. I thought he could be a guy who could be truly special at 27.
I hate every day I see him in a Red Sox uniform.

I'm optimistic we avoid Hous in the ALDS & meet them in the ALCS.

He can make spectacular plays, but in a juiced-ball era where offense is through the roof he's having his worst offensive year. He's also a tad overrated on defense.

And he is a year away from his FA year. No chance the Sox sign him for 15 million plus. May as well get something in return for him now.

Wow. Another 0-2 pitch results in an RBI hit
My high school team runs AS A TEAM if a pitcher gives up an 0-2 hit...
Yes the pitcher throws the pitch, but at what point do we start blaming the C for this???

JBJ has been struggling to hit only since 2013.
