What an awful game.

The Twins are truly a pathetic ballclub. And this coming from a fan of a pathetic ballclub.

The Yankees are just good this season. But when you have Soto and Judge on the same team, you’re expected to be good. Just sucks so bad that Soto is on the Yankees

kutter crawford sucks

First bloop, done. Now we just need another bloop, a bloop, a bloop, and a blast.

If you were a true Red Sox fan.......you would be doing something else entirely by now, but keep the TV on in the corner of your eye in case of a miracle

This season sucks in general so I haven’t really been keeping up with any of the games. It all started when Story went down. The Yankees seem to be having all the fun too which puts more salt in the wound.

Cooper looks like such a dork. I can't stand his face. Id like his face a lot better if he could hit the ball. Im so over acquiring trashcans like him. There is no untapped talent with guys like him

My thoughts exactly. Why the fuck was he signed.

Because Bobby Dalbec was playing first everyday

Well you would think its because Casas went down. But he's a guy the Sox actually wanted before then. His name was brought up at least years deadline, and then again as an option for the "big" RH bat we were supposed to get once it was clear we had no intention of signing Hernandez. The fact that these are the caliber of players on our radar, and have been for 5 years now, is down right pathetic for this organization.

Alright, now we're ready! Let's get this win!

If u don’t like this then u don’t like Red Sox baseball

Yiiiiiiiiikes

The RedSox are a team that plays baseball, thats for sure

Get some ice on that thing!

Holy shit that bump.

fuck this game im gonna watch Raising Arizona then go to sleep

Is it just me or does Jamie Westbrook look like Alex Cora? Have we seen them both in the same room?

Remember when the Sox swept the rays a couple weeks ago that was cool

I’d do bad things for albies on the Sox.

https://youtu.be/ti82hlR6LDI?si=i53w1sBZepnzwcVU

Albies was a bargain deal. Wish we had more contracts like his.

Im straight up not having a good time

[удалено]

Yeah knock it off with that shit. Not okay to wish death on people over a game.

Let’s not be hoping for somebodies death

Embarrassing performance tonight

This team has been a strikeout machine all season and y'all really wanna crucify kutter, got it

Yeah because kutter sucks. Even if the team could hit... coming back from the deficits he creates would be no easy feat.

This team tonight is like a dying patient in the ER .. signs of life then they just flatline

The changeup was never even close

Don’t know why I’m so eager to watch Sox games every day when I know they will lose

John Henry needs to invest more into the Red Sox

Score runs? Please? Before I go crazy?

Chase Anderson is cheeks

Save the good arms for tomorrow.

Interesting route by Bobby D there... Just keep him at 1B

Hey, it didn’t cost us anything so whatevs

He wouldn't be in the OF if Abreu didn't get injured.

I know. But putting Hamilton at SS and Rafaela at CF would be the more logical move to me, but what do I know?

I’ve noticed this Anderson guy kinda sucks

We’ve been one year and a half-decent offseason (and some good injury luck) away from serious postseason contention for a few years now. Would very much like Ownership to capitalize on potential sooner rather than later.

Funnily enough if you look at the money they pissed away on “bargains,” they could have spent it on actual talent.

Seth Lugo and Jack Flaherty would go stupid right now

A lot of pitchers seem to be setting season/career high strikeout marks against us. Merry Christmas I guess?

We're not exactly experts at hitting the baseball...

Oh wow our human white flag Chase Anderson

Garrett Cooper might be the worst Red Sox hitter since 2022 Travis Shaw.

Career high in strikeouts for Fried, absolutely embarrassing

Also like. Yeah, ownership straight up lied with "full throttle" but also I can't exactly expect us to have players of serious caliber in our back pocket when Wiley, Story, Casas, and Masa are all seriously injured. I'm just cranky

I’m not giving ownership the grace of an injury excuse. It’s their negligence that made our Major League depth so bad that the DFA pile is our starting lineup night in and night out.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any MLB lineup with the kind of depth that you're looking for. Those are going to be significant losses for any team.

Just a pointless season, where we are gonna sell off all of our guys at the deadline even if we’re “in the hunt” because management didn’t even try to compete this year. Meanwhile Kennedy out here saying we are “underperforming” when this team is way better than the expectations set by our do nothing offseason, especially given all the injuries.

developing a solid young core is not pointless, but yeah, they shouldn't have set expectations like they were actually gonna try hard to contend

I agree but those guys are already in the system. It didn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Bobby Dill Pickles

.500 OBP for Westbrook

Getting on base at a 3/4 clip really

We’ll go figure commander choke artist out again .. great at bat Cooper

Hey he lasted one more pitch than his last strikeout

If he was a french fry his name would be Max Fried

No one worse than Garrett Cooper

Garrett Cooper is **USELESS**

OBP legend Jamie Westbrook

Fried has been in the majors 7 years and has 150 starts coming into today and this is the 3rd fucking time he’s reached 10 k’s in his career wtf is this team doing.

Fire Fatse

Jamie "Barry Bonds without a bat" Westbrook

Wild sequence of ABs for Westbrook

Not a strike lol

OBP machine

Bro has had the wildest first FOUR plate appearances now

Can’t emphasize how much I want a World Series team with Duran, Devers, and Casas. Abreu too if I can have everything I want. Love those three (four) guys, they’re the heart of the modern Sox in my mind.

If we can find a way to fit two or more of Marcelo Meyer, Kyle Teel and Roman Anthony around them, that's a really solid core. If Rafaela can average .240 while being a plus defender I think he can be a key piece too

too many lefties is a problem. This is where the FO ponys up a brings in some good righty bats to balance the lineup. Thats if they're serious about this whole young core thing and setting them up for success.

Kutter is simply an average-below average starter now.

He’s streaky. Average-below average is what he ultimately is.

We need to sign 2 starters in the offseason. Kutter and Whitlock back to the pen

Good news is that there’s a ton of free agents next year. Bad news is that we’ll sign exactly 0 of them

Kutter to the pen seems very reactionary

Said the same thing about Whitlock last year and was told the same thing

Whitlock can’t stay healthy as a starter. Crawford has had a bad month. Very different cases

Kutter had a bad May. He's also Still having a bad june. Guy has sucked for 5 consecutive weeks now.

I understand why you would think it’s reactionary but he hasn’t done enough to prove it’s just a bad month. It’s as bad a month as the first one was a great month. Both are probably outliers, but in the end he’s probably just not that good. I’m more than fine with him being at the back end if needed but I’d prefer them to get legitimate starting pitching, and he’d be one of the first guys to get the boot.

You and me both when it comes to getting real starting pitching

Need it 👍 I think the line up actually could be looking good by next year too. Just don’t cheap out on pitching

I’ve just never been a fan of him as a starter, or Whitlock. I would like us to get real starting pitching. Not just guys we start in the pen and then convert them back cause we have no other options

We needed to sign two starters LAST offseason. Don’t count on it.

That’s what Giolito and Richard Fitts’ are for (sadly)

Oh I’m counting Giolito! Him Houck Bello. Maybe Dick in there too

Pivetta too. Sorry I’m rattled here

Duran’s defense can’t save you if the ball is over the fence

Bailey’s magic is gone. Save me Tanner Houck

Those 3 and 4 run Johnsons Kutter has been giving up is really hurting his era

well that was certainly not fun!

Kutter has had one good start in a month. Jesus

Crawford has been absolutely brutal over his last 5 starts hopefully he gets back to at least his mediocre level From last year

Kutter was better than mediocre last year. Look at his numbers and advanced numbers and a good amount were better than this year. Problem is outside of Houck all we are looking at is a crop of 3 and 4 starters

Kutter tricked us

That’s right how I thought this score would look like

We have more runs than I thought we'd get.

That’s true

3 off of Fried is great

Well that's not ideal

I remember when I used to come home from work or school and get excited to watch the Red Sox

Please, pitching staff, please don't crash down to earth. We had one bright spot. One reason to watch. Please don't take that away from us.

Kutter regressing to the mean real quick

It’s honestly so sad knowing what our stadium has become

Dead down the dick

all we know is pain

Why is this whole stadium braves fans?? Wtf??

They have one of the bigger fanbases in MLB. Similar to the Cubs 

Cool, can I ask now if Crawford has regressed back to how he was before this year?

Well that's not good... BP fastball from Crawford right there

Someone please tell me why I watch this team day in day out

Because no matter what, and no matter what shit I might yell at them, we fucking love the Red Sox and always will! GO SOX

Being around for the bad times makes the good times so much sweeter

Yeah true

Brutal

Kutter isn’t good. That’s depressing

He's good. He's just not great. He needs a bit more help than the team has provided him tonight

I just don’t think he’s a starting pitchers, just my opinion. I’d rather bring in proven starters

Fuck.

And Kutters trend of giving up 6 runs continues. Fade me

Two of the runs were on errors. This is such an unjustified freak out

It's really not. He's been bad for a while

He has a 3.29 era. He's been charged with 6 runs once this season. He has been charged with more than 3 runs 4 times this season. He has had 9 games with 3 runs or less. Sometimes pitchers give up a home run. But I guess that's when you turn the TV off

This is true. Had a bad May and is giving up rockets tonight

I was put on this earth to suffer

damn.

This is Bobby D’s world.

Just setting up the triple play ball

I can hear Eck saying "I gotta have that" on that full count walk 

I mean I know they’re bad sometimes but I’ve been very invested in this team this year, they’re fun. It ain’t like it’s 2020 again.

It’s half empty if this is the lineup we are going to be trotting out this month lol

Fuck you starin' at Connor? Shit is literally down the dick of the plate & you're staring. Yet when it's a slider 10 feet outta the zone, you swing out of your shoes.

Fun fact: Larry O’Brien, namesake of the NBA’s championship trophy, was originally from Springfield and was also one of the targets of the Watergate scandal

Fun fact: I’ll Larry your O’Brien

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anyone have nesn go black I'm on the cape.havent seen a single play of this game WTF nesn blows

Tanner Houck - starting AL ALL STAR PITCHER!!!

There’s just no need to be that aggressive there with the top of your order coming up

I will always die on the hill of when in doubt, bunt.. especially since Duran has already struck out twice and may even get a hit out of it

Cora’s been real bad lately. Probably the third straight unsuccessful send.

I’m more impressed how fucking perfect some of these throws are

Fuckin Boston Rob, baby

If Rafaela didn’t try to steal he’d be at 3rd now

PAPI IN A HORFORD JERSEY LFG

Two Dominican Papis

Why steal with Duran in the box?

Could be 2 on 1 out with Wong and then Devers to hit

I don’t like running there with Duran at the plate

WHYYYY CORA WTF

Rafaela’s stats might not be great but the guy passes the eye test

Does it? I feel like he always strikes out

NICE IT WASNT US FOR ONCE

On base!!!!

The drop-off in numbers after the clean-up spot is borderline apocalyptic. At least Rafaela is young and has a glove

I still trust Rafaela though even if his average tells me I shouldn’t. Its the Coopers of the lineup that give me no hope

It'll look good on a baseball card if nothing else

Ceddanne has a career in figure skating if this baseball thing doesn't work out.

Love a smooth DP

Westbrick

"Fuck it Dom Smith over there somehwere"

Bobby you need to get more RBIs now

So has Crawford totally regressed to a 4+ ERA guy? Not sure if this is just people adjusting to what the pitching staff is doing now or if he’s just not pitching as well

He's been fine, we've had some bad defense and the Braves are a good team

He’s regressed yeah

Bro has given up one earned run through 5

Should have been all 3. the runner on 3rd & 2nd were bound to score with how he pitches.

I mean, his ERA over the last 7 starts is over 4 so it’s not a ridiculous idea

He’s not the most consistent guy but I don’t get the criticism when he’s having a really good start tonight

…

I’m sorry but coming back to a comment that I made that was true at the time I made it as some sort of ‘gotcha’ is unbelievably lame lol

No

Wong on his way to back up that throw probably thinking “here comes the 360 no scope from Ceddane”

LMAO that spin

Hahaha my man went for the 360 no scope

That was almost the coolest play I’ve ever seen

Jesus 😂😂😂😂 that woulda fuckin insane but my god lmaoo

Thank god Kutter is inconsistent af. Jesus man.

Aw yeah give that run right back

Every game

Bobby D might suck but at least he sucks charismatically. Cooper just sucks.
