This offense is so boring right now It’s sad. Only a few weeks ago I was talking about it being Relentless It's relentlessly boring.

Crazy how quickly the excitement about this team’s potential has dissipated. Didn’t think the offense would suck so much and the defense has been brutal, but I honestly can’t remember the last Sox team that was better than average defensively.

They are pretty much what I expected.

Your full of horse poop if you thought Devers would be playing this terribly on offense I didn't assume specifics, and don't mean to infer that. I looked at the roster going into the season and it appeared glaringly mediocre to me overall in terms of win expectations.

I thought the roster looked pretty shit going into 2021, then they ripped off that 9 game win streak and played above their heads for most of the season. Was hoping for something similar after the 8 game win streak earlier this year, but you’re right, this is a mediocre team playing mediocre ball. I could deal with the losing if they were scoring runs at least!

Sadness ensues once more. Horrible at bats with men on base.

I think we all expected Devers to be able to carry the offense every now and then Too much pressure on one player prone to cold streaks. I thought he'd be better than this, but that's why I had them at slightly sub .500 - just not enough bats. I know my view must be annoying to some. I'm too old to be an irrational optimist ..I am a boring realist! 😀

Reese McGuire is playing like a guy who was traded for Jake Diekman.

I’d be a lot more tolerant of some of these other minus defenders in our lineup if they all raked like Masa.

Paxton settled in nicely. Let's get a couple back and hand the ball to Winck?

It's a good thing the Sox didn't extend Devers early.
