14-18 doesn't really reflect this team. They're 6-14 in their last 20 games and if you back out arguably the worst team in baseball, they're 3-14 against real teams. This team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs. That’s a bit harsh no? Nope. That is reality. This team sucks ass.

How do they lay off pitches so close?

Devers swings at a ball at his eyes and jd swings at a ball that should have hit his back leg

Entire team just looks anxious, trying to get it all back in one swing.

This team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs. I mean, do you think 6-14 reflects their true talent level? That's a 49-win pace. No, I think it reflects how they've truly been playing recently and currently. I never said that they're going to play .300 ball the rest of the way. The schedule is loaded with mediocre teams. The Sox should manage to play. 500 or better the rest of the way although I wouldnt bet my life on it.

For a good hitter, JD at bats are so bad many, many times.

It's been riveting but now is a good time to watch a romantic comedy with the wife.

Just pathetic. They had everything in their favor coming into this series with the weekend against BALT and then a day off. All their pitching was lined up and the bullpen was rested. Meanwhile, the Yankees had to play a make-up game against the Angels and they have 142 guys on the injured list. They were getting the Yankees 3-5 starters on top of that and they will STILL lose all 3. I haven’t been this disgusted with them in a long time. Just a total fraud.

We need a Big Papi moment where someone reads the boys the riot act.

As much as I don't like listening to the ESPN guys I have to say I like the drop down of the pitch sequence.
There is still time to jump on their pen. Schwarber will have a big PH at bat later.

Typical cvaz pitch selection 2-2 count and be pops up a pitch that’s 3 inches off the plate like why not just take the pitch?

We need a Big Papi moment where someone reads the boys the riot act. I think that falls on our manager. As much as I like Cora he needs to do something. I just read Xander say how happy and motivated they were getting Schwarber and Sale. And that no team got better than they did. But that was last week before playing Baltimore. So I think X kinda showed up to this series, but the rest of the team along with Cora have not. They lost their edge and some people will just blame Bloom for this. I mean last night bases loaded and no outs and we fail to score 1 run, yeah that's the GM's fault, lol.

This team flat out quit after the deadline. Other than Xander Kiké and Devers. What a joke.

Yeah… this has the look of a team floating face down in a murky river. Never underestimate optics and perception of not believing in your players. This is the type of stuff that can happen. Yeah they got Schwarber who has been on the bench more than a top shelf acquisition should be. This sucks to watch. Andrew Heaney is a bum of the highest order. The ultimate JAG...

ONE hit since the first inning. You can't say that whatever is going on with the team is in their heads at the moment. This really does come down to being on Cora and the coaching staff to figure it out quick.
