I’m thinking that Bloom got fired for giving $230m to Story and Yoshida. They are both absolutely awful. Trading for Verdugo… there were a lot of top-end mistakes. And then not trading him

Are we gonna get dominated by Kyle Gibson?

Let's just say it is one possible lesson. Not one I ascribe to. I was mostly joking. People liked to say last season, and to some extent this season, that when Bloom didn't get sufficient reinforcements at the trade deadline it made the players sad and they stopped trying hard to win. But these numbers suggest a very different narrative.
Someone was saying, though, that there was almost a feeling of guilt in the Red Sox clubhouse when Bloom got fired (though probably not for Kenley...). Everyone seems to agree he's a nice guy, and he did give several of them millions of dollars, so that's sorta believable.
But my actual take is that Casas got hurt and Turner's been playing hurt and Story's actually been better than he was before and Wong is probably worn down from overuse this season and Yoshida's struggles go back to August, and once you account for all that it really just comes down to a question of why Verdugo has been slumping so bad. Is it a motivation issue with him, specifically? I mean, that's kinda believable, yeah.
Also, it doesn’t get talked about much but Duran really was the catalyst to our lineup. He led off more than a few innings standing at 2nd and the energy was fed off of

If C-Dan can develop some patience he can be a weapon on the bases.

No hit again thru 4 innings. This might be the worst stretch I’ve ever seen

Well at least we got 3 hits

Every 9th inning we give up insurance runs. Every time!

For all his faults I do like Wong. He's logged a ton of time behind the plate and hasn't broken down

I don't know why teams would ever throw a strike to Rafaela

I know Cora is staying. But there’s no way we can bring back these coaches

I'll be interested to see how Sale does tonight. The Orioles have absolutely pounded him all year

Every other team recently has put 4 plus runs up on Glasnow. We look like a minor league team

I know it’s beating a dead horse at this point but it’s very frustrating watching the Rays trying different things like a squeeze to get runs home. Why don’t we try things like this to get runs home? We can barely make contact when needed Which would be all the more reason to try different things no?

Back from vacation. Watching. Pain already. One run deficit is probably more than we can overcome against Glasnow

Cora certainly has managed like he knew his job was safe regardless of how embarrassing it gets

Did Reese just pull himself because he had enough of Houck? They say thumb contusion
