The absolute worst decision that was made was JR saying he couldn't afford to lose time. Hell, I would be way more accepting of a 120 loss season had he tore this thing down to the studs and had a very thorough search for an entire new baseball operation.

Instead, what is happening right now is what he said he was avoiding with the hiring of Getz.

With another season like it to follow after the selling is done.

What's sad is that we all saw this coming.

Interesting enough - some of the best teams in baseball right there with the Sox on this one.  

The problem is they all have decent to great bullpens, while we technically have pitchers in our bullpen.

See?

If JR would have hired from outside the org, we would have had to wait until next year for this fun.

We woulda had the GM version of Pedro. We were fucked either way.

50 games under .500.

In July.

50 games under .500 for a full season is 56-106.  The Sox would need to play .500 baseball at 29-29 to win 56 games this year, or win 2 more games in a 58 game stretch than they did in 104 games so far this year.

Why highlight 56-106?  This is the current record for the most losses in a single season in Sox history.
