good Lord, JD Martinez is NL DH All-Star. I can't stand it anymore. How do the Redsox find hitters like him? Turner's been more valuable, that swap ain't the problem

If you want to blame anyone this skid is 100% on the offense
Not even prime pedro would win a game with 9 pitchers in the lineup

What a lifeless dead ass team.
It went from a potential joyous no hitter to an aggravating dispirited loss.
Its amazing to watch teams , particularly in the other league, march into Fenway Park and just blow through the Sox and put the crowd to sleep.
Amazing, they win 6 in a row to get back into it, and then they wipe it out by losing 7 of 8.
The offense is damn disappointing.

I think you have to consider firing Cora just to shake things up

How do the Redsox find hitters like him? Turner's been more valuable, that swap ain't the problem Does make one wonder if he was really worthless at the deadline last year. He is an all star for whom the Sox got… nothing. Nothing about the Bloom era p**ses me off more than the pathetic return for talent he has gotten overall from Mookie forward.

It does take a special GM to turn Mookie, Xander, JD, and Eovaldi into… well Verdugo.

You guys are letting your age show. Tony C never would have done that I get it. It doesn't bother me. If you don't want to be shown up play better ball. But I would remember to Buzz his tower at a later date. I agree. It was great when Brady was spanking teams 41-8 and was still in the game in shotgun in the 4th quarter. Not great when your roster is one of the highest in the league and still somehow a mess.

Sorry, Bello. You deserved better than this garbage tonight. Yep. he has been a constant bright spot. And he was right. Nothing to gain by returning to AAA.

Everyone wanted to see the players have "fun" and express themselves and look what you get. That was too much and i am on the record of not liking it. These games are taking me to a dark place, brothers. Henceforth, he shall be known as Chazz Jizzholm.

Watching the post game presser. Cora has aged a lot this season.
So - back to the drawing board. What's on that board at this point?

Well he's playing twice as well this year as he did in the preceding year and a half so I'm not sure it's really a fair basis to compare on.

We are not doing JD Martinez regret, come on. Zero people wanted him back after his 2-80 or whatever it was around the trade deadline. He has 1 WAR at the mid-way point, big whoop.

And Downs was a top 50 prospect at the time time of the trade. I don't blame Bloom for him being a dud. That happens with BB prospects and it's not fair to judge an exec on any one player he acquires. But if just about all your prospect acquisitions fizzle, that's worthy of criticism. That's where I am with Bloom on his trades for prospects.

He has 1 WAR at the mid-way point, big whoop. i am not, it started as a point that he is an All-Star this year after the dismal last year, a kind of juicy irony in that. and it kind of took on a life of it's own, as can happen around here. LOL.

Verdugo this year and Wong seem to make the Mookie trade rather balanced. I'm still furious at losing Xander and Eovaldi for 4th rounders.

The ASG is likely to include more former Red Sox than Red Sox. I have to think Eovaldi will make it and Wacha should have a good shot. Dugo is the only worthy current Red Soxer IMO.

ASG (for any sport) is really nothing more than a popularity contest. Its been that way for years. We all remember when royals fans stuffed the ballot for their players.
