Red Sox/MLB 2025 Regular Season II

[quietbruinfan]

I think this is going to get worse, since it is the usually dependable guys who are blowing it.

 

[lopey]

Bullpen defense are horrible again.

 

[BostonBob]

Is Kody as big of an asshole as his father?

I should know this but I guess I misremembered.

 

[lopey]

Abreau. To bad no one in front can get on base

 

[SPV]

A long ways to go in the season, but they just keep giving games away.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Blame the implosion on me if you wish. I watched the first six, but was sore and went to lay down. Boom! instant rallies.

 

[lopey]

Do we not hsve 2 arms in the minors better then these clowns

 

[lopey]

Duran duran matchup

 

[lopey]

Lol duran

 

[Mione134]

Whitlock, Slaten

Wtf happened.

Bring back up Guerrero because that pen has been atrocious

I'm not sure the Red Sox have any minor league arms at all...it's been a pretty big blindspot for years.

This product is just not acceptable. They have had maybe the easiest schedule in MLB to date. Same bullshit every year.

Basically two lost years for Casas...if the organization is counting on him to be a regular for years to come it's a big mistake.

Been the future first baseman for five years now.

 

[KrugAvoy]

This team is somehow more frustrating than last year's team

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I can remember when I thought Whitlock was really good.

I don’t

So, the Sox dropped two out of three to the Blue Jays, and two out of three (so far) to the Twins.

The Red Sox are better than this. At least, I think they should be, right? What is going on with this team?

I think you WANT them to be better than this but they aren't. They are a ~.500 team. Like most other teams in MLB.

Starting pitchers have been good. Hitting average but bullpen and defence wipe all that out. Those areas are way below average

I think the hitting is a bit below average and it's getting worse. ...The last four or five guys in the lineup are weak.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

What a money making machine this team is

 

[CDJ]

Whitlock and Slaten killing me rn

Let’s get this shit out of the way in the first half so it’s not around when the magical second half featuring Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer comes to be

Team batting average is tied for 5th in the majors, tied for 4th in runs scored.

Problem is no one hits when it really counts. Sox haven't come from behind in the last 3 innings to win a game all year.

They’re shockingly average to better in everything from hitting, pitching, and fielding (while they lead in errors they grade out middle of the pack because they’ve made a lot of good plays too)

They just suck at doing those things at key times. Idk what to make of that or how that gets fixed other than just hoping its just luck and gets better?

It's like how the 2013 team which was a pretty average roster outside of its superstars but every random guy would come up with the clutch hit late and the bullpen was lights out when they needed to be. I still don't know how that group won a World Series but I'm not complaining. This year it's the opposite results where they're just getting bad outcomes in key spots.

How much of it is just the dumb luck that is baseball and how much of it is some kind of character or leadership defect, we can't really say. I just wonder how long the team has to underperform for all the heat to be shifted onto Alex.

Cora makes brain farts. One minute we're doing small ball and it's working, then he stops. Then he's putting out guys who are gassed in situations..I just don't get it.

Fix it please. I beg.
