Whitlock looked bad. Not enough zip on his pitches. They were teeing off on him. Also Cora left him in too long.

Coming off an injury , just didn’t have it last night

He clearly didn't have it. Anytime guys get shellacked like that I also wonder about tipping pitches. If that was part of it, easy fix, but his velo was definitely down.

Weird game last night…

Really bad series loss to the Nats

Yanks on the road then 10 v Hou and LAD

I’m not optimistic for a playoff berth

Sox beat Yankees Friday night easily
Urías hits grand slam in 2nd inning today to put Sox up 4-0
Sox with the opportunity to really distance the Yankees - Boo Hoo
3 teams get Wild Card

NYY are not good. Sawx kinda own Cole. Team needs to be completely blown up.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Wong homers with 1 on so now 6-0 Sox through 4 innings. Yanks without a hit vs Crawford so far
Wong and Urias each with a homer and have the team's 6 RBIs - the 8th and 9th hitters in the order. 1B Casas out with a tooth issue today.

Sox win 8-1
Gerrit Cole drops to 10-4

May be the biggest win of the year today considering the schedule the next 10 days

So freekn lucky...loved it.

NYY

Cupcakes

Big one tonight , suddenly 4 back of the wild card now

I have tickets for Sox at Houston on Wednesday, so I hope I'm not there for a sweep.

Postscript - it was not a sweep, and obviously, great game to be in person for, even if the Sox did try their best to muff it at the end, ha. The only game I personally attended that was better was this one, 18 innings with a Shea Hillenbrand dinger to win. As far as I can tell, this is the only video highlights of it available still.

Must have been a great game in person , was entertaining on TV too

17-1 Sox win at Houston to tie the Series 2-2. Not bad splitting at Houston.
Bello goes to 10-7

Dodgers this weekend followed by Houston - next 6 games at Fenway

Nice win today !

6.5 out of the last wild card spot with September 1st on Friday. This team is done.

No playoffs in 3 out of 4 years with Chaim in charge. Chaim should be so thankful that the Yankees had their worst season in the last 30 years, otherwise the Bloom would be responsible for 3 last places finishes in 4 years.

The worst part is Bloom’s lack of urgency at the deadline indicates he has job security for at least one more merciful year.

Can’t wait for another offseason of accumulating castoffs, journeymen and washed up arms.

On to 2024 !!

The Bloom is off the rose

It's about time

Good bye

IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE A RED SOX FAN. SEE YOU IN HELL BLOOM!

good riddance.

Time for some more elite guys from the far East on this team.

Let’s go, shut down the regulars and see which prospect/ utility guys we wanna keep. Rafaela looks like a stud.

What does this mean for the future of Alex Cora ??

reef wrote: ↑8 months ago What does this mean for the future of Alex Cora ??

hopefully a contract extension

huz-zah. Bring back Duquette or Dombrowski

Wilyer Abreu looks to have a decent future

Ok, now that we suffered thru the "GM builds up the farm system" phase, it's time to move on to the "GM that trades away the farm system to win it all" phase of the cycle. Good deal.

It would be great if we could get an Epstein style GM that can make moves from the farm system to bring in needed talent while keeping the farm system strong. With the Red Sox' resources that should be possible. This all farm or all major league approach we seem to be going through since Theo left doesn't really make sense

John Henry is kind of acquiring quite the body count for someone seen as a relatively decent owner.

IMO Bloom did exactly what the owner hired him to do. Cut costs and rebuild the talent pipeline. Mission accomplished. 20000 empty seats vs the MFY x2 demonstrates that the consumer had finally caught on to the trickery. Bloom was not the guy to bring the club back to excellence even tho the fix should be quick and easy.

Off season will be entertaining.

The future looks pretty bright if we can get the right GM hire , the farm system looks improved, we just have to hope the owners will let the new GM spend in free agency and acquire the right guys

Agree. But since we're at the bottom of the suck phase...time to ride that 'all major league' horse thru to the next phase. And worry about evening it out later...

The Red Sox play has been so embarrassing that this doesn't even make the chart....

RIP Tim Wakefield. If only more baseball players were as classy.

I saw that. So sad. I know Schilling broke the news of his health, but....wasn't he just on nesn not too long ago?

Rest In Peace Tim Wakefield, always a blast to watch and listen to on NESN. Great ball player. Ironically, he would have passed without anyone knowing he was even sick if not for Schilling. May have given some a chance to wish Tim well before his passing.

Yeah, sounds like he only got symptoms like issues with vision in the last month or so. Also sounds like he had brain surgery in the middle of the month.

In happier Wakefield news, George Kirby from the Mariners threw a knuckleball in yesterday's game to honor Wakefield, and it was nasty!

Ohtani to Dodgers. 10 years $700 million.

Tyler hit 34 bombs in 21 then was injured a lot the last 2 seasons , he won 2 gold gloves which should help our defense which we sorely need

Let’s get 2 decent starting pitchers now !

The Kansas City Royals acquired right-handed reliever John Schreiber from the Boston Red Sox on Saturday for right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin.
