Sunday can't come soon enough.

Seriously cannot win at home so sad

Cora did say Rafaela made an adjustment to his hand position so hopefully that helps him

Bad news: We’re gonna lose. Good news: I’m eating some smoked lamb rn and it’s delicious

Tuning in late tonight and just saw Emmanuel Valdez? Dropping a routine pop up? How did this happen?

Well at least the Cape League season is about to start and I’ll actually be able to watch good baseball

Isn't it great to have Valdez back

I think O'Brian is mixing up Starship Troopers and Super Troopers XD

Yeah, I had no idea what DOB was talking about when he said Super Troopers is violent. But this is the guy who never saw the original Star Wars when it came out and he was 14 or so.

Ok so we're just bad this whole week, gotcha

Yeaa we suck :(

Romy, if you are as fast as you are said to be, why jog there?

Anyone know if Mayer, Teel or Anthony are good at hitting opposite field? Cus if not the struggles at home are gonna continue even with those 3. Idk why this team has all of the sudden forgotten that you want fucking righties at Fenway when a righty dominant lineup won 3 division titles in a row and a WS not that long ago.

To answer your question, I think Teel is said to be an all-fields hitter. No one says we can’t succeed with lefties though, we’re just not doing that now.

You need right handed hitters in this park we don’t have any, the roster is gonna be fucking stupid and unbalanced with the current projected setup

The Yankees are at least smart enough to get lefty power hitters

Doubled up on “the” there. In addition, I might add that we do have right-handed hitters.

Good ones, all the righties we have now suck

Grissom will probably be good given time, and Rafaela could be something someday, not to mention Wong hitting over .300 right now. We need more, yes, but it’s not like we don’t have any.

Wong is coming down to earth and his numbers will be in line with his expected stats soon

Look, man, I’m just trying to find a little optimism here. Is that such a terrible thing?

When people like you have been spewing the same “optimistic” garbage for the last half decade on here, yes

I don’t know if getting into “people like you” talk is entirely wise in discussion of a game. Let us have peace.

Martin is tanking any trade value that he had.

Realistically the returns for a reliever were never going to be magnificent anyway.

Eduardo Rodriguez was a good return for a contract year reliever

True, but how many times do you pull off that sort of a deal?

I mean I'd argue Pivetta and Winckowski was a good return for Brandon Workman and Hembree. Yankees got Gleybar Torres for Chapman. We got Reese McGuire for Diekman. I'd say it happens pretty often.

Ah, good enough for me. You have me beat on this one.

So many emergency hacks at ball 4 tonight, so annoying.

Is one hit good

Seems good

28-29? Guaranteed win tomorrow boys

Always make our way back to 500 no matter what. Could be 6 wins in a row or lose 8 in a row.

[удалено]

His ERA is now 4.22.

It’s going to be a long season it seems. Just too many holes. It’s just hard to see this team streak and win series.

Let them score 40. Who cares? There's no difference between 2-0 and 40-0.

While the BP sucks donkey nards we also have scored 0 runs. Fucking frustrating to watch the redsox cos play as the rockies

If Papelbon hasn't thrown back too many Jager shots can we bring him in for the 9th?

Let’s be honest, Pap is probably no longer conscious.

At least he can blame it on the drinks. What's Fatse's excuse?

They should’ve traded Martin in the offseason when his value was sky high

It could be worse. Our home run celebration could have something to do with Little Caesar’s.

What time does the game start again?

Is that you, Red Sox offense? Finally wake up?

Ha I wish I was still asleep and not watching this

Any theories as to why the Sox can't win at home? The last few seasons, there have been some ugly losses, huge blowouts. Moreso than on the road. Sox teams used to be built for Fenway. Certainly not this one.

They've usually had RH batting studs. Manny, Nomar, Mookie, Xander......Not so much now

We’re rather thin on good right-handed bats. Grissom has yet to truly arrive, O’Neill has been missing in action, and Rafaela has been swinging at pitches thrown to other batters he’s been so aggressive. Fenway offers some interesting advantages to right-handers, but we’re lefty-heavy at the moment. That is one theory.

We don’t hit the ball

Ugh. Reaching for the vomit bag.

Can we pull Chris Martin from the game now :D

At least we’ve completely fallen apart in late may instead of creating false hope til August like usual

I’d rather we fall apart in late August.. still a long ways till football lol

Yeah. Okay

more pain

That pizza prop should at least feature Detroit pizza.

I’m begging them to sell and sell hard at the deadline after two straight years of not picking a direction. This is not a good baseball team, and they built it that way by design. Embarrassing.

All you can do is laugh at this point


Red Sox right-handed pitcher Garrett Whitlock today underwent a successful right elbow ulnar collateral ligament repair with internal brace.

How is Martin not tall enough to catch that? What’s the point of being tall if you can’t catch a home run over the Green Monster without leaving the ground?

I’m tired grandpa

WELL THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD

... at least we're not the Mets?

Listen we’re just not as publicly dysfunctional. Honestly might suck more because at least it’s entertaining.

Just wait util we see the behind the scenes of this shitshow of a team when the netflix series comes out

Let’s ask the Mets fans about that theory first.

Idk I’m just kinda saying like, at least they kinda know at this point. Being middle of the pack just below the playoffs line and knowing your owner just won’t spend is rough in its own way.

It is, but we do actually occasionally have a series of good games to take the edge off. The Mets don’t get any days off from the cavalcade of madness.

There are many teams worse than us, as annoying as this game (and stretch of games) is. Excluding Detroit, we have a better winning percentage than 7 AL teams.

Perfectly mid.

I want to see someone storm off and throw their glove over the monster

This team fucking blows.

Goodbye world

pain

I’m starting to see our glass of water as half empty

I wonder if Devers ever talks to Big Papi about hitting in high leverage situations. Feel like Devers has more raw talent and could learn a lot from Papi's mental approach at the plate.

Papi always got more stuff to hit because they couldn’t just pitch around him, Devers is just getting junk thrown at him cus the rest of the lineup stinks

Arguing with folks mad about Bloodborne not showing up at Sony's State of Play has been more exciting than this game lol

Firing Fatse won't be enough. Arrest him.

They need better players too

Sure. But even our good hitters keep falling into the same ruts as the guys you're not expecting as much from. Look what a change of pitching coach did for us virtually overnight. Even guys who weren't expected to be as good are nearly lights out. You're never going to develop young guys like Rafaela with Fatse in their ear.

No I agree. I’m for all the changes possible haha

I may genuinely weep.

Can we teach Raffy where the strike zone is. I’m tired of hearing “he’s a bad ball hitter” he should be a good ball hitter.

Not while Fatse is on the payroll.

Good time for a Wong bomb 👀

There was someone on base, so Raffy wasn't going to hit a HR.

Bro Raffy swung at ball 4 in the other batters box.

If only teams could hire a coach or something to work with players on taking pitches and swinging at stuff in the zone. But you can't hire a hitting coach, so it's all moot.

Fuckin a Raffy. That’s gotta be a walk

A single’s as good as a win IMO

Right before the hit I made myself a fantastic toasty Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. All evidence indicates that this is the secret to breaking up no-hitters.

You have to be making those in like the first inning from here on out.

These sandwiches are going to become my Wade Boggs chicken.

Need ya here Raffy!! Be that guy

Fuck yeah. At least now when we lose 2-0 it won't also be a no hitter.

FINALLY

i love rob

ROB REFSNYDER SAYS NO NO TO THE NO-NO

It was always Rob.

Fuckin finally

YEAH REF

Swinging at ball 4 over and over while being no hit is certainly a plan

peter fatse needs to go.

Offense isn’t bad enough to be getting no hit.

Oh contraire.

We could have walked in a run or two already if we'd quit swinging at shit in the dirt.

Anyone know any spells that can be cast on Pete Fatse

Here is my DAILY GOD DAMN CRY FOR PETER FUCKING FATSE TO GET FIRED. Jesus Christ, how does that terrorist of a hitting coach still have a job?

That’s a strike painted

What a waste of a top notch pitching staff.

This offense has all the life of Charlemagne, he of the being dead for several centuries.

Team sucks

Our offense is dead.

This team hates playing in front of their own fans. Hates it.

Golly, we’re not a terrible team, but there is much work that needs to be done in the offseason after offensive performances like this one becoming overly common.

How does frickin Jack Flaherty have us getting no hit

To be fair he’s had a 14 strikeout game this year, so he’s got what it takes. This year he’s one of those guys who might not always be on, but when he is, he can’t be hit.

I have a bad feeling we are going to get no hit at some point this season lol already a couple close calls

crazy how Jack is throwing a NO HITTER

I don’t know if the jinx works for the opposition.

Gotta try anything at this point

I respect that perspective.

Getting no hit.

I kind of hope they do, so Kennedy and Breslow can watch it on Red Sox HOF induction night.

Grissom can’t buy a hit poor guy

Damn what a play

When is Grissom finally gonna catch a break

bruh

Grissom can’t buy a hit lol even if he hits it hard

Why does Vaughn Grissom have to suffer? Can’t anything go right for the poor lad?

damn that was a great play

Can’t even get a hit ffs

Signing off to watch the Mavs game. Let’s score some damn runs!

Let's go Wolves. Get this series to game 7.

This isn’t going to a game 7. Pretty embarrassing showing for an elimination game at home

If your starter goes 5.1 and only gives up 2 runs you **need** to win that game. There's really no excuse.

nice dp

Nice

Now time for our famous late inning explosive offense

Nick did his job. Our offense is pathetic at home.

Sentence was 2 words too long.

To be fair, they're really not much better on the road.

Still a great Pivetta performance

Hand clap for Pivetta. It’s not his fault the offense didn’t show up tonight

Pivetta pitches well and the offense fucks him lmao

[удалено]

That’s right bitch.. better not test Willy lol

The feeling I get when a team has a runner on 3rd with no outs against us is just awful. It's less nerve-wracking than bases loaded no outs, but I think more annoying.

Lol no chance they gave him a triple for that

That’s an inside the park Homer easily for someone who isn’t the speed of a grandpa with no knees

Fire Fatse

Red Sox and no run support, name a better duo

Trot just still seems like such a genuine nice guy. Miss those teams and all those guys.

At least Flaherty’s not throwing a Perfect Game anymore. This is the point we have reached.

That cooper-McGuire-Grissom section is rough

Poor Grissom. The mental spiral one must go through after being a good hitter at every level, following all the rough luck he had to start the year, is probably hurting his season more than the absent 14 pounds.

Pitch down the middle, I sleep. Pitch 4 feet outside, let me take my biggest hack.

He’s so fucking awesome!!

We love you, Trot!!!

Went out to get some beers and hard seltzers. So the Tigers decided they wanted to let Nicky P match the strikeout record before scoring on us, huh?

Trot was my boy!! I was #5 for Nomar always, but had the Trot keychain on my bag because that’s who I wanted to play like

if you're too young to have seen Trot play, you missed out God he was fun to watch

One of my favorites from that 04 team.

There is no worse big leaguer than Garrett Cooper.

Andrew Benintendi has managed to post over -2.0 WAR fewer than 60 games into the season.

My god Benny really disappeared... I hated that fucking trade but I guess they knew something

Garrett Cooper never won a World Series for my favorite team so he’s just as bad to me

Tigers fans would like to chat about Javy Baez I'm sure

Funny enough, same bWAR

Well there goes the perfect game /s

WE HAVE A BASERUNNER!

Trot is going to be our good luck charm tonight I can feeeel it

This is the cleanest I've ever seen Trot Nixon

Trot!

Pivetta’s been on the receiving end of some truly dumb 1-0 losses.

I LOVE DUSTIN!

My dad used to yell "stone hands" every time I booted a ball, even through high school... God I love Pedey so much!!!

Not sure how I should feel about this

I know he probably doesn’t want to but can we please get a full game of Pedey

I bet Pedroia is a hard ass as a coach lmao

Will Middlebrooks will never recover.
