My optimism for this team, this season, is waning...

18 hits on a .260 XBA has to be one of the most ridiculous outcomes of the year

This team has been owned by the NL this year, particularly at home.

I watch these guys puke all over themselves night after night. Then I remember that half the teams have worse records and it makes me realize that the caliber of play in MLB is very shitty. The two grounds crew guys nail it:

Is Raffi seeing the ball? First pitch was a fat meatball.

This team is the definition of mediocre sadly
Maybe in a year when the AL East wasn't so stacked we would be 2nd or so in our division but alas
At least our farm is better

Rico is only 80 maybe he could come back and play SS The other day it did cross my mind that Cora may be the best SS option on their current bench. Sad but you are probably right.

The Marlins lost 25-8 at Fenway in 2003 and turned their season around, maybe we can do the same?

Another nightmarishly mediocre year across the board… but hey, at least we get to keep seeing those despicable Campbell’s Tomato Soup-inspired softball jerseys! A nod to our rich history as one of the game’s stalwart franchises!

The upside of these losses is laughing at the kidding that goes into the posts. The one about Rico coming back to play SS and the one about Cora being the best option at the position deserve a lot of love.
I mean those two posters were kidding, right?

So weird that when they play solid defense and hit with RISP they win and when they don’t they lose

Whitlock today: 27% K-Rate, 0 BBs, 2.61 xFIP, 40% HR/FB, .563 BABIP, 3 errors called as hits, 11.57 ERA

Obviously nobody played well in this one, but man, I was really thinking Whitlock was gearing up for a good run, but once again he comes through with a gutless, completely non-competitive outing. With the rotation in the state that it’s in the Sox really need him to step up, and so far he’s been a huge letdown; for me an even bigger disappointment than Kluber, but that’s mostly cause I had no expectations for Kluber

Cora sounds annoyed and pissed off in the post game. He's not enjoying this
2-11 against the NL so far, -22 run diff.

Had Ort been available to Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, the American Civil War may have been even more interesting!

Which is why i would not be shocked to hear he is stubbornly playing thru some injury He’s still a top like 20 or so hitter by xwOBA and he doesn’t walk, so his contact quality is still elite. He has gotten unlucky this year. Not to say he has looked his best, but I’m not concerned.
