Red Sox/MLB 2025 Regular Season III

WOOF

 

[Mione134]

Ive watched t-ball players play better defense than this team.

Some of these players have no baseball sense. Hamilton not running to third is another blunder. We left like 14 men on base.


IVE HAD IT. I can't do it anymore.

Time to fire Cora. 3 more errors. Base running error in ninth. Wtf

And in the 2nd, and in the 3rd.

 

[quietbruinfan]

.40 seconds. I have had enough!

 

[Mione134]

Fire the hitting coach first.

Then see how it goes. But you sir? You are checked out

9-15 since Rafael Devers cried about being asked to play 1B

The actions of your “leaders” matter

6-17 in 1 run games. A direct reflection on the coaching staff.

He really is baseball Doc Rivers

Cora deserves a ton of blame, and rightfully so. However, these driveline and analytics nerds have ruined these young kids to a fault where they aren’t playing with fundamentals. Obviously if these kids are in the major leagues, they clearly were good fundamentally at one point in time. With analytics it becomes analysis paralysis and what you see on the field is the result of that.

It's time to fire Sam Kennedy but short of that, ok start with Cora. I'm not convinced 8th choice GM Craig Breslow is answer either.

Everything about this organization is a complete mess right now. The young players they locked up have very little impact and Kristian Campbell looks like another DH who is barely hitting enough to stay in the big leagues but they had to foolishly sign up to long term deal already.

The lineup sucks and the young players aren't ready to carry the team. Maybe we'll all finally stop caring about Baseball America rankings. Next to nothing on the horizon for pitching prospects either.

Devers is doing just fine. You love to blame him but him not playing 1B isn't why they suck.

You forgot the conflict between the bloated analytics staff and the coaching staff, but that sums it up pretty well.

Since baseball isn't as free flowing of a team game as the other sports, people underestimate the role of chemistry. But it's a long 162 games and you need leadership to get through. Morale affects performance. It's why a less talented team in 2013 won the division and the world series because they had leaders in Gomes, Rosa, Napoli, etc. who made a difference.

Every team uses them, not every team plays as fundamentally unsound as the Red Sox. This is a Red Sox/culture problem imo, not an analytics/driveline problem.

Yup and when your highest paid player with the most security doesn’t put the team first it becomes awfully hard for everybody else on the roster to keep the faith that this team is being the best version of itself, and its quite discouraging for them

Red Sox ownership unveils new office building that would rise above Fenway’s Green Monster - The Boston Globe

A seven-story office would be built between Fenway Park and the Turnpike — and could block views of the Citgo sign from certain angles.

Sox shouldn't make the same mistake with Duran that they made w Ellsbury. His game is speed, which never ages well. Trade him when he has control to actually get value

What mistake did they make with Ellsbury?

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

Has Cora been fired yet?

I'll be forever grateful for 2018, but Alex is WAY past his expiry date.

Absolutely incredible to continue this narrative that Devers not playing 1B is why this team sucks.

How is that a direct reflection of the coach staff?

In reality, it's a reflection of poor hitting in big spots. No one can bunt, no one moves the runner over in extra innings (or any other time), strikeouts galore with runners in scoring position.

Add to that the team as a whole can't field or run the bases, makes one wonder how they actually have been in so many one run games.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

What mistake did they make with Ellsbury?

I guess not trading him after his fluke MVP-(type)-season.

I would have been fine trading Duran in the off-season, but then most fans would have complained that the Sox are too cheap to keep their all-stars. They can still get good value for Duran, but the ship for the highest possible value has already sailed.

.40 seconds. I have had enough!

Classic movie!

remind me again why Anthony is roadblocked in Worcester while the season falls apart? oh right, John Henry's checkbook (aka lets not burn a year of control)...

To add on to that, how do we think Anthony feels watching DH Campbell and platoon Mayer get the call before him? On the other hand, does anyone think the organization has put either one of those guys in a position to succeed right now? The Boston Red Sox should be bringing up these kids to an already established, good baseball team. Not bringing them up thinking that they will be the ones to turn the dumpster fire around. Like I said before, I don't give a rat's ass about the Baseball America rankings. You can have a highly regarded system and still be a complete mess of an organization. That's what the Red Sox are. A complete, dysfunctional disaster.
