It's over, might as well post.You know what? I'll just not post anything until the game is over.
Slip sliding away again. The battle for last place is never ending.

They're getting swept. It's not a 1 game losing streak. Cry.
As long as the Cardinals aren't coming to town of course

I don't think its spin at all. I'm not a Sox fan, but to be honest, I really don't understand some of the blatant negativity on this board. They are a decent, but flawed, ball club and they're competitive. If that's not good enough for some people, then I really don't know what to say..
I do think their pitching, on the whole, is atrocious however. They live and die with their offense. If their bats hold up, they are competitive, but they've gotta score 5-6 runs a game to be in it on most nights. That offensive lineup is something you can work with, but they need some serious help in their starting rotation, or that bullpen is gonna break down eventually. The cracks are already starting to show.

You’re just predictable as f***, JP. So I’ll continue to call it out.
Actually, nah I won’t. Back to ignoring the useless takes!

The only thing predictable is you posting this point every time they lose to posters who have been posting in here when they win.

Works for me. I actually feel really good about that, especially if Houck discovered something last start by pitching off his cutter/slider/change later into his outings. Just need them to stay healthy, which would require some luck. But that’s why Pivetta and Kluber are still on the roster
Definitely a good day for an off-day. Sucks they aren’t going home yet. Arizona is a good team so hopefully they can get the bats going

This is a pretty generic take on any team. The goal is never to hover around .500 and simply "be competitive". So ya I can understand fans wanting more. With that said, despite what some fanboys think on here I am content at the moment. I said all along this simply needs to be a team that is in playoff contention all year long.

Okay. No more Red Sox “trolls” showing on my thread again. Very refreshing. Just normal takes by good people now.

Definitely been a rough 5ish games or so. Unfortunately the same can be said about pretty much everybody over that stretch

maybe because the reason they're flawed is because they jettisoned homegrown stars (Betts, Bogaerts) like they were the Rays despite having the owners with the deepest pockets in the league?
Sorry not sorry, there is no excuse for the Red Sox to be a flawed club for multiple years, or to finish last 5x in 10 years. There is a refusal to spend money on stars and the directive clearly is "do enough to keep asses in the seats on the cheap and if we happen to win it's gravy"
The frustration is watching the Red Sox become just a line on a corporation's accounting ledger
