Red Sox fans should stop buying tickets and showing up to Fenway until this team is FIXED!

This is more embarrassment than the Barraclough game.

This team may not make the playoffs, but at least they're going down with pride, grit, and dignity. What channel is that game on? |

This is more embarrassment than the Barraclough game. This embarrassment is likely at least somewhat due to the Bear Claw game. |

Youk says the Royals are hot.
Funny how that keeps happening when teams face the Sox.

Getting skunked by a team 53 games under 500. Says a lot. None of it good.

Since we are likely wondering, since Bear Claw came into the game on Aug 28, we have been outscored 34 to 7.
And DOB and Youk are relegated to the trite and banal. What a crappy job to have to call an entire game like this.

Pathetic, 89, 90mph 4-seamer against big league hitters? This Walter guy sucks, AAAA pitcher at best. Where are the pitchers we drafted and developed? Bloom only used 1 top 100 pick in the last few drafts on pitching, but took a million SS, he has no clue about roster construction and should be fired.

I think I’ll pencil Walter in as our #9 starter next year.

My goodness - we are witnessing Barraclough, the sequel!
Starring Poor Walters. Couldn't get the original actor to be in part 2.

Sure take a victory lap even though he was very good for stretch where he was expected to be. He's pretty much paid for his contract off of WAR. Which ya WAR is whatever now. Also. Nobody could have predicted that our entire freaking rotation would all collapse at once. And that includes Bello. Anyone who claims to have saw that coming is full of horse manure Dodgers lost 4 of their 5 opening day starters for much of the season, 3 of them in the first month of the season. I think Tampa’s had three go down including their two best starters. Virtually every other team in contention has had at lest two starters go down for significant time. So, maybe you can’t predict who it’ll be, but it seems like more of an outlier if a contender loses less than two. |

Let a position player come in and mop this s up. |

Say what you will about this team, but they've got a lot of fight in them. Proud of our boys out there.

I know there is time left in the season to end with some dignity, but if this team collapses, I just don’t see how you don’t fire Cora and Bloom. Not saying they will, but no matter how much folks want to defend Bloom by pointing to the long term, that may mean not being good but it can’t mean being embarrassing

How many days does Cora have left? Any chance he doesn’t make it to the end of the season?
Edit: hate to be right on this one, but I compared Paxton to late-stage Erik Bedard before the deadline. I saw this implosion coming from a mile away and wanted him traded for assets. I understand why they didn’t, but it would have been nice.

still think Cora is not at fault? poor base running, poor fundamentals in all aspects, very poor hitting approach,Fatse,Pitchers find the middle of the zone all the time, No command with any pitchers at all. You figure it out. this game is a shit show and it all shows up.

I think Bloom is told things need to improve next year and he needs to find some major league pitchers. According to Kennedy interview pitching is the problem, well one of them obviously. |

I guess you are one of the guys that thought this was a 90 win team.
