Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VI: Hunt for the Wild Card is on

[DKH]

Story 1-2 HR & 2 walks 1.982 OPS today

Sale outstanding

I don’t blame him wanting to stay down

Rafaela 2-4 324 average

40% chase rate concern - can ever get to 30% he’s a star - 40% to high but he’s legit got impact tools and CF is incredible

 

[Johnnyduke]

What a f***ing disgrace

Take your prospect rankings and shove them up your ass

 

[DKH]

I told my old man I’d take him to a game this week too.

It’s fun

I was 2-11 in 2007 and they won WS

They will eventually get it going but a day at park if weather nice - outstanding

 

[EverettMike]

Imagine they make Cora the fall guy, would be unreal to see the fan reaction

Never should have hired him back considering the reason they fake fired/suspended him for a season.

I know I'm in the minority on that one, but so be it.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Guys it's gonna be awesome when Sale, Houck, Whitlock and Story are back. You'd think a Yale graduate could forecast that they might be out of contention by then. Either fire him or please sell the team and go terrorize Penguin fans.

Yep, that should be a great couple of weeks.

 

[smithformeragent]

Felger and Mazz will be a must listen tomorrow.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Unfortunately can't hear as many boos because of all the Toronto fans

 

[CDJ]

This is a gutless performance

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I put all the blame for today's game on alligator arms Duran.

And bad boy Verdugo.

And quitter Murphy.

 

[smithformeragent]

Having pitching doesn’t guarantee success, but not having pitching means you’re pretty much DOA.

 

[Johnnyduke]

As for Verdugo I like him he should be 280-300 15-20 homers - can’t let home life make you late - no one excuses

Should be and actually being are very different. Same expectations for Benintendi. Verdugo is who he is at this point. Not a lot of power.

Thank you for the Worcester update

This is a gutless performance

From an organization with a gutless GM

Cora waving the white flag and emptying the bench.

I’d imagine he survives the season, but becomes the fall guy.

every boston fan who isn't bloom fan predicted this.

 

[Johnnyduke]

It’s August 6. They will have a big run

Lock

A big run right down their pants

It's gonna be awesome

I'm starting to think Bloom kinda sucks at evaluating his team's potential.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Sad seeing Blue Jay fans taking over Fenway

rest of the AL East are thankful for Bloomball

 

[CDJ]

I'm starting to think Bloom kinda sucks at evaluating his team's potential.

I’m thinking they’re never gonna sell when they’re 2.5 games out in this market

In hindsight it’s looking like they should have, it’s just not a realistic thing to expect

 

[smithformeragent]

Jays fans belting out a mean Sweet Caroline.

 

[Mione134]

Embarrassing effort. Embarrassing coaching.

Hey, Story, you are tearing it up with the Woo Sox. Did you really need an extra 2 games? Get your ass up here.

I love Cora but man... idk

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Sad seeing Blue Jay fans taking over Fenway

A lot of road teams helped attendance this year to make it road trips.

Mets filled the park

 

[Johnnyduke]

I’m thinking they’re never gonna sell when they’re 2.5 games out in this market

In hindsight it’s looking like they should have, it’s just not a realistic thing to expect

Then standing pat and getting your ass handed to you is a fireable offense

If given the chance, I would be very surprised if he does not resign.

Sell who? How do you get any quality back from what they would have offered?

Bloom put himself into a Damned if I do damned if I don’t situation.

ya this collapse will do it. Bloom set himself up for this right when the team was rolling with his buzz kill comments
