The Sox thought they discovered a market inefficiency by overpaying relievers. It's actually hilarious.

Stop this is how Rick Hahn and co are gonna justify running it back next year.

If it wasn't for Liam and Lopez this bullpen would be absolute s%*#.

Yoan paid a lot of money to get out of Cuba. The entire thing was super shady and he had to get married to a sports agent too. It's all super weird and who knows how much money he really got from his initial signing with Boston. The extension he got with the Sox was probably his only big payday so far and even then you wonder how much of that money he's actually seeing.

I know some on this board think that we can fill 2B with a combo of Romy/Yolbert/Sosa next year but if this team is serious about competing in 2023 they need to think about bringing Andrus back to play 2B. He's a breath of fresh air compared to other the brain dead players we have on this team. He probably won't hit this well next year, but if you can get him on a short term Harrison-esque deal next year you do it.

Seriously. Keep TA out for the rest of the year too.

Graveman too. Liam was probably the only guy from the bullpen that looked like he wanted to be there.

The bullpen management this game was just brutal.

Uh...why? Are you afraid his arm is gonna get destroyed with how many sliders he's throwing?

Shaw is trash and had Diekman just allowed 2 runs we'd be in business.

He's so worried about his hand when swinging that he swings at pretty much everything. Not only is it bad for his overall health it's also bad for his development as a hitter.

He swung at 2 balls in 3 ball counts. I'm not sure what happened to his eye and plate discipline.

Now all those extra runs Diekman gave up hurt.

I guess I just freed up a bunch of time for the next month. Too bad Call of Duty won't be out until late October.

He sure as hell wasn't gonna hit that here.

You just have to hope he bounces back and maybe starts taking his career trajectory a bit more seriously. Cause at this rate he's gonna be out of the league in 2 years. He's also gonna cost himself at least $25 million.

He didn't even try lol

How the hell does Diekman not even look at the runner?

They deserve the boos

Honestly Jose Ruiz is better than this.

lmao Kwan shaking his head looking at Diekman going what are you doing throwing me a sinker right down the middle?

1 run wouldn't have been a big deal, but 2 is gonna be hard to get with who is due up the next inning.

Thanks Diekman...

Having to face Kwan here is just not great.

What kind of slider was that and what kind of swing was that?
