Putting this loss on Cora, bringing Bello out for the 7th.

If clueless umpires can actually pass an eye exam we would be out the inning already

Sometimes a good reliever has a bad day. Unfortunate when it happens in the 10th inning.

I admit, I was not a Refsnyder believer, but he has won me over. He is just a really, really solid ballplayer. We ought to be mindful of outcomes like this when discussing the perceived logjams that are surely on the way… all offseason “on paper”, it looked like we needed to remove an outfielder, and it seemed like the consensus options were trade Duran, option Abreu, or release Refsnyder. If it looks like we have four guys for three spots, we don’t have to do anything. Imagine watching Ref have this season in Tampa or something.

Putting this loss on Cora, bringing Bello out for the 7th. Well you are about 100 games from getting your wish. Article on Boston.com the other day said this is likely the end of his tenure seasons end.

Cooper's a big disappointment. We didn't need much from him, just being somewhat similar to his career averages would've been fine.

This is all on Cora. I have had enough of him. the 7th inning on was a s***t show without any errors. would have been nice facing the Braves with a 31-29 record instead of a 30-30 slate. a bad loss no matter how you look at it.

If we're going to go with the kids ( which we should be), say goodbye to Cooper. Play Dalbec.

That big magnet pulling the Sox back to .500... Yup. Fans at Fenway the past few years have had their chains yanked a full time but have often left following a loss. Hard to believe that Fenway no longer plays as an advantage. Today the fans get excited in the 8th with a clutch game tying HR by Raffy, and then a 2 out rally in the 9th that leads to...nothing. And then an ugly loss. So much for that. Fans leave unfulfilled, a story that's played out a bit too much the past few years. Used to be the Sox would have to figure it out on the road but would come home to an electric crowd expecting fireworks and getting them more often then not. Not like that anymore.

Putting this loss on Cora, bringing Bello out for the 7th. It goes much deeper than that. Calling up useless dalbec, plus Westbrook when the team was already carrying the liability of cooper. Why not just add meidroth to the 40 man and see what he can do? not like he could do worse than cooper/dalbec this season, who both should have been dfa'd weeks ago. This team isn't trying to win, just look over today's starting 9 for proof of that, then at everyone STILL at AA, rather than AAA by now. Questionable decisions seen often enough by manager and management, but this year it's been way overboard. Many have been zimmer like, being idiotic.

Kavadas time, just for the hell of it? I'm open to it but dont think it'll resolve the issue. I dont think he'd hit enough. He'll walk, strike out and hit homers. A bit concerned that he struggles to catch up to 92+ MPH fastballs and he'd get overpowered but at this point....?

2022 Red Sox not long after 60 games - have historically good June, their pitching all gets hurt, and then they buy & sell at the deadline (good: Wilyer Abreu; bad: don’t get under CBT due to not moving JD Martinez)
2023 Red Sox not long after 60 games - have an excellent July with the aid of a lot of off-days that allow them to be successful despite a rotation with like 3.5 starters. The Red Sox trade for Luis Urias at the deadline and… that’s it. Meanwhile, Jordan Montgomery goes to Texas, while the 2023 July SoxProspects Ranked #6 (Shane Drohan), #11 (Brandon Walter), #12 (Brainer Bonaci), and #18 (Bryan Mata) stay put.
2024 Red Sox not long after 60 games - 🤷♂️
