Why? Barnes is a better reliever than Workman and some better defense there and we're on our way to Kimbrel time. Not every move that doesn't work is the manager's fault, sometimes you take the best approach and do the most logical thing and it doesn't work. It happens. The Sox need to trade for a 8th inning man if you don't trust Workman. Barnes isn't that guy.

No negativity towards the Sox!! It's not that so much as it is that certain posters only come here to complain. When they're on a winning streak, these guys don't post a single time. Exactly. I don't mind negative posts towards the Sox. But when I check out someones posting history, go back a few hundred (no hyperbole, a few hundred) posts and don't find a single one that isn't them complaining about something then I really feel bad for how pathetic their life must be.

Recency bias, they havent won more then 2 games in a row in almost a month. The combination of them being almost torturous to watch combined with this Price cloud hanging over the team. Not a very likable team and it feels good to relentlessly bash them to smithereens right now, should try it.

The Sox are about to be 8-14 in their last 22 games if they don't comeback.

Talk about having too much time on your hands - going back over posts to find posting patterns? Sad. We are all fans, we all have our views, we are all passionate, I suspect we use boards like this to share the joy, but also the frustrations. There is certainly lots of reasons for optimism on this team - but it has been a season loaded with frustration as well. Good to have a place to air it out.

Am I the only one who laughed when Gomes called himself a "connoisseur of chicken wings," paused for five seconds, and then said "my wife is from buffalo."

Citation Needed And you do realize it takes about 5 minutes to sift through a couple hundred posts that are mostly filled with "lol Farrell" "lol this team sux"

Imagine going back hundreds of posts to reassure yourself that someone has negative views of a team who has been an absolute train wreck this past month on and off the field.

Not to mention that I teach 6th graders, so I'm used to going through a few hundred papers from people who think like an 11 year old.

Mad at people being negative about the Sox and defending David Price avidly. Sorry bub nobody is seeking your approval or care if you block them.

At the risk of offending, Xander as he is currently playing is just killing this team...needs a mental break of some sort. Farrell wants him to play out of it but these are games we won't get back.

Good - and that is exactly what I see here, in the vast majority - lots of thought, great analysis, interesting posts. But it is hard to synthesize joy when things are just plain frustrating. This is so head and shoulders above the twittering on the red sox.

The reasonable people are the ones defending David Price? sounds *** backwards man, but do what you gotta do and keep telling yourself that you are one of the good guys for not being critical. You'll complain about the haters before they even say anything lol.

It's for the people who show up when they blow a game and just make insane complaints about the dumbest imaginable things and disappear until the next time.
