We are misusing our Best pitchers.
Start Eovaldi, Hill, Whitlock, Houck, Wacha. Pivetta to the pen to try closing.
What's to lose?
Otherwise, we could screw up Houck and Whitlock.
As far as our sleepy bats . No idea. New hitting coach? Start testing Woosox bats??

I am running out of excuses and hope for this team. 10-16 now and closing in on 20% of the season over. At some, you are what your record shows you are - BP

starting pitcher goes 5 innings on 68 pitches. Walks 1, strikes out 6. And someone is gonna tell me that best move is to then bring relief. PHUCK that. This is just silly. God help this beautiful game.

God help this beautiful game. Agreed. I think this is at least 3... possibly four games now... where the starting pitcher was cruising and low putch count and pulled and the pen gave it up.

None of this is really on Cora. He didn't buy the groceries. Barnes needs a DL stint badly While I don't believe Cora is going to get fired, Lets not pretend he is a victim here. He is managing this pitching staff and hasn't done a great job The staff isn't the problem though. The problem has been a lifeless lineup. Now that being said the last two days this bullpen has been a disaster. Lately I wonder why I go through setting up my VPN so I can watch this BS without restriction.

God help this beautiful game. Half jokingly, maybe they're trying to make sure hill stays healthy for the deadline to deal him. He keeps pitching like this he'll bring back a decent package!

Man, if Bloom's super-secret plan that everyone else seems to have been read into is to have this team becoming a perennial top competitor like the Dodgers or whomever by 2024, he's got a hell of a lot of work to do.
If he's still here in 2024, that is.

At some point, you have to question everything - how the team is coached/prepared, roster construction, in game decisions, impact of pending contract issues. It's not that everything is broken (maybe), but something is seriously amiss.
And some key players do seem to be toast.

Angels currently have 7 runs on a .193 xBA for the game. Sox have 0 on a .230 xBA for the game. Gamefeed is fun, but it also brings sadness

For the season Houck has the following pitch mix:
4SFB 37%, SL 32%, SNK 22%, FS 9%. Today:
SL 55%, 4SFB 23%, SNK 18%, FS 4%. And despite this skewed mix, his sinker got murdered today.

When will the MLB wake up and give us a 2 run handicap from now on?
