Find an injury for Barnes and give him some time off. He's Heathcliff Slocomb terrible at this point.

Barnes was always a borderline setup guy lets not pretend anything he’s done this year was anything less than a blip
I’d say we’re unlucky that every lucky player on this team is croaking, but we got lucky for too long. This team just isn’t good

If we could now bring in Richards, this would be just perfect. Get Arauz warming up.
This is nauseating, folks.

And the collapse continues.
Yes, tampa bay IS better than the Red Sox in case any homers still think otherwise.

In a parallel universe where the 2021 Red Sox played to their level in the first half they would have dealt Barnes at the deadline. Back home we are stuck with him until at least 2023. Let the good times roll.

I guess Barnes is awful when he can't cheat too. Such a shame.

You wouldn't know it from the stats - but they clearly do better in big spots - and know how to win (as far as the offense). Pitching clearly better at what they do as well. I am just amazed at JD - all this about last year him not having the video, all the stuff about him being a student of hitting, professional, etc - and he looks like dog poop - he is just coming crashing down. Not sure what it is, but Tampa has it figured out...we clearly don't.

But you have to give them credit for what they do year after year. FG has their payroll at $84.6M and the RS over the LT threshold at $210.5M. Yet, they're running away with the division again and smacking us around head to head. I truly hope CB can replicate the model and combine it with a mammoth payroll that is wisely spent.

And once again, every hitter once it became tied tried to hit home runs. Terrible at bats.

When does this team become Bloom’s? You hope he does stuff in the future, but when? Last year? Worst ever. This year? Thanks for Marwin, Franchy, Dalbec, Richards, etc. But pass for both because, you know, the owners. So… does next year count?

and that’s a wrap. Matt Barnes is not a realiable Closer. Never was reliable at middle or set up either.

Guys who need some time off: JDM Vazquez Barnes Guys who are below replacement level on the season: Marwin Dalbec Franchy Davis Robles
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln...

So apparently Barnes and JD were going at it after the game in the dugout. Talk about two big game failures having it out - pot, kettle.
Cora has to somehow get control of this mess in a hurry - we can go into free fall very, very fast (we may already be there)

And once again, every hitter once it became tied tried to hit home runs. Terrible at bats. The offense is streaky. They can get shut down for long stretches. And when they squander... The Sox could have scored so many more runs, but they didnt because when they dont hit HRs they dont score

The RS, along with the MFYs and the A's, led the OBP revolution. Patience at the plate was a big part of their identity for about 20 years. I was surprised last off-season that CB seemed to veer away from that. He placed greater emphasis on versatility. KKH, Marwin, Santana...they all play multiple positions.
