Thats my take as well, good post. I really wish people would stop spending money on the org until Reinsdorf goes away.

The players deserve blame too of course, however when your young core is declining offensively and in the same way, you have to look at the organization as a whole. Menechino has been a hitting coach for 10 years with us and the Marlins. In that time he has been top 5 in GB% every single season and bottom 5 in LA. Whatever tweaks he does to these guys leads them to hit more grounders. Just look at their numbers from 2019 to now, save for Anderson the decline of these guys is just sad to watch. We were all excited about Moncada and Eloy in 2019, they started to break out. Now they hit weak grounders on the infield. Thats their game, healthy or not. I have to ask, what the F happened? We aren't at a liberty to wait around like in 2019. This is our window. They need to get healthy and produce to what they are capable of now or this contention window is already closed. We are starting to see signs of Robert regressing in his power due to approach (He has lowered his K rate substantially, however has increased his GB% by 10%, and hitting the ball the other way by another 5%). His average LA has decreased by 5 degrees. He is swinging at balls out of the strike zone 4% more than last year which doesnt seem like much, however since hes sacrificing power for contact hes connecting on those swings 9% more than last year! This is the same pattern we see with a large number of our hitters. Robert is having a pretty good season still, but its a waste of his potential. He should be an extra base hit machine with how hard he hits the ball. Instead hes settling for singles the other way. Thats the approach under Menechino.

Sheets shitty defense cost us 2 runs this inning. Thank you Hahn

HAHAHAHA YOU JUST CANT MAKE IT UP AT THIS POINT

Yes highest %

I am currently looking over our offense and where we rank under Menechino's glorious guidance: 1) Worst team in the league against fastballs (wFA) 2) 27/30 against the slider (wSL) This is a recipe for disaster 3) 1/30 in opposite field hits 4) 4/30 in O-Swing % (balls swung at out of the zone) 5) 5/30 in GB% This tells me the offense is constantly looking to poke the ball the other way and "not trying to do too much", a Menechino mantra 6) 29/30 in LD% (Line drives) 7) 10/30 in EV (number has decreased over the year) 8.) 25/30 in LA 9) 22/30 in pitches seen 10) 26/30 in HR

I dont understand how baseball players can be so injury prone in their legs by running. Soccer and basketball players do 0-100 constantly yet they dont have hamstring or "lower half" problems like the Sox do. I just dont get it. Can someone explain this to me?

Cease is incredible, cant wait for Kopech to get more experience and be like this

if it helps him hit dongs keep it by all means

I know its not Sox or game related but my god is Shohei Ohtani a god or what? https://streamable.com/cjzwk0

I just realized something, if the Sox turn it around and win the division we will see TLR again next season.

Mancini looks like Jimmy McNulty from The Wire

Today is a win/win for me. Either Sox win and I am happy or the Sox lose and I can continue my twitter rants on this beautiful Sunday.

Stop spending your money on the team, only thing fans can do. Really wish fans would stop going to games

This is why its so disheartening, because its just going to be the same old shit. It doesn't matter. We are just biding our time until the next rebuild. Currently we are in 2014 and have a few more seasons of Hahn's teams mired in mediocrity.

I am really hoping for a sweep just to see Stone's twitter rant on how the fans are impatient and stupid.

THREE groundouts to end the game, amazing

Menechino is probably angry he didnt hit the ball on the ground in the first 3 pitches

I wish Leury hit into the DP just so i could hear the crowds appreciation

If Tate was trying to throw at our guys couldnt he have at least thrown at Leury? damnit

I think im the only one still watching.

are the O's trying to hit our guys here

Congrats to all who bet the over.

I am really surprised theres not more people booing at the game, lets go sox fans get into it a little bit.
