The Grinder Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think we all feel helpless with this botched abortion of a team. I'm emotionally detaching myself. We continue to be 2nd class in a 2 mlb team city. Not changing anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 19 under .500. wowsie. Did Sox get swept this series or did we win one? Man this team is a cure for insomnia. 13 more whiffs; four by Robert. I can't think of a Sox team in my lifetime as unlikeable as this one. As good as Robert and Burger can be on a given night ... other nights they are utterly unlikeable. Yes even Robert. I wonder who can turn this mess around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is so badly constructed it's obvious there's no hope of .500 even for many many years. And if a diehard like myself is detached, what about others? Attendance has actually been pretty good. Wonder if that would change considering the growing apathy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that would change considering the growing apathy. Somebody in the front office must have seen today's game and gone into a rant. Whether it was JR, KW,RH. or PG, one of them must have exploded after this game. Someone should have been traded or DFA. Maybe someone in the front office should have been fired. Maybe someone in the FO should be having a closed door meeting tomorrow including interpreters with the team and screamed at them. This is an embarrassment to the fans of this team who cannot believe what we are seeing. Tomorrow heads should begin to roll and continue once the trade deadline opens.

The Kids Can Play Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Why would we expect these clowns to win games when they still have the same poor plate approach and discipline. 13 K's 0 BB, 11 groundball outs. This is a seriously flawed offensive team with a really dumb baseball IQ. That was Graveman's 4th blown save and 2nd in his last three attempts. When is Grifol going to make a note to himself, that it's not a good idea to let Graveman close games. Not only does Grifol need to be fired, but also Katz as he doesn't bring anything to this staff. Great job from Hahn in building a reliable bullpen, as well as having plenty of good arms to bring up from AAA. ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
