The way this team imploded from their high water mark is just embarrassing, sorry to say. Blame Bloom, Cora, whatever....it is on the players.

Texas announcers are baffled at Cora leaving Bello in as punishment

Shitty thing to do to the guy who's carried the pitching staff most of the year

I completely disagree abusing the closest thing we have to an ace, a kid, like this. What is Cora thinking?

September has not been kind to Masa, Turner, Duvall, Wong, Refsnyder, McGuire, Reyes, Story, Urias or Verdugo. Microscopic batting averages and little productivity for the most part. We talk about the issues with pitching, but most of the bats have been cold as ice. The team as a whole has a wRC+ of 79, fourth worst in the majors.

Anyone know what's up with Abreu? Is he banged up from the tumble he took in the outfield the other night?
If one is going to plan a bathroom break, timing it for a Masa at bat is a good plan.

This team is so mentally checked out smh, losing is fine for draft picks, but this is totally disgraceful.
It feels like only Pablo/Dalbec are really hungry

What the ever-loving f*&k is Millar spewing right now?

Crazy how much Alex Verdugo's season is saved by his first month and a half. He's .254, .302, .408, .710 since May 22nd. Balanced by a 10.1 UZR rating in RF. Very important in Fenway and 2nd only to Tatis in the majors.

Is Millar implying that Red Sox players don't try hard enough or is this just a meaningless "back in my day" rant?

I am a little old to have favorite players anymore, I root for the letters on the front of the jersey, but i was just doing an inventory in my head of guys i really want to see back next year, and there weren't many that made the list. Don't remember that happening to that degree before.

This is now a test of stamina. Who is going to stick around and watch the mess that this game quickly evolved into? Flame throwing ace Martin Perez is now slicing through our offense like a hot knife through butter.

Don't remember that happening to that degree before. I am glad you posted this - because I've been going through the same thing. Players I could get emotionally attached to, as a fan - Bello, Kutter, Tanner, Winck, Whitlock - Connor, Raffy, Rafaela, Casas. That's it - 5 pitchers, 4 position players. The rest - see ya.

Quick question - which position player is most likely to get the mound today? And which inning?

Millar with ballplayer existentialism. It isn't Sartre, but it was more interesting than my Jesuit educational requirement Philosophy 101 course, for sure.

Have to be happy about Bello's season, but I worry most about his K rate. How many great modern day pitchers have a 7.7/9 K rate ? great that he doesn't walk guyx much, but that make me real nervous about his future ceiling Not many other pitchers throw a bowling ball that moves that much, he can put guys away when he needs to Just not today lol

I don't know if you ever saw the movie Bob Roberts. But if you did, you might remember the scene where the liberal woman pulled the plug on him while he was singing (i think it was singing) some silly patriotic song that was full of bullshit, and she couldn't take it (hope i am remembering this right, been a long time). Can you imagine some NESN sound guy saying, "Alright.....I have had enough of this guy and I don't care if I lose my job" moment when he cuts off his mic. Haha.

Cora wants to be fired. After the first inning, Bello was done.
