fully agree. Losing is fine, losing while playing worse than my sons 13 year old team is not.Yah know, I can watch a .450 baseball team that at least plays reasonably ok baseball. But FFS last year really tested my patience with the horrible defense and sporadic hitting. Since Trevor Story went down last week this team has just fell apart. If they don’t get their shit together soon I will, for the first time since Bobby Dickface Valentine coached the team, find something else to do with my summer nights.
This order is pure pudding, I'm afraid.Where’s the meat of this order? After Duran, you have Reyes for an easy out. After Casas, you have a lamb in Dalbec.
Unless they get screwed in the lotteryThis Red Sox team has the potential to earn a very high draft pick
Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse meOK, I've been wanting to watch the Steve Martin documentary. I guess now is a good time.
bloom and his staff seemed to ignore defense completely. It never made any sense18 unearned runs in 14 games. We are spotting teams 1.25 runs a game. Creating our own headwinds
Breslow had an entire offseasonbloom and his staff seemed to ignore defense completely. It never made any sense
I get that. But for me Janeway is a top three Captain, with TNG Picard (NOT Picard series Picard. Who sucks) and Sisko. The Doctor is great, and even though the reasons she was brought on were very cynical, Seven is still amazing.I just couldn't get into Voyager. The characters were all so bland and unremarkable.
He figured the same guys would be better this year!Breslow had an entire offseason
Well maybe. But if I'm him, knowing that whatever I put up there, even if it results in a simple grounder, is not assured of being an easy out -- thats gonna affect my pitching. And that is another consequence of bad D.Houck has been crap on top of it all.
It must be so hard to run a baseball teamHe figured the same guys would be better this year!
Did he? I mean he brought in Story because X’s defense was pretty badbloom and his staff seemed to ignore defense completely. It never made any sense
Well, it was supposed to be a Story-Grissom double play combo.It must be so hard to run a baseball team
And Cora has had multiple yearsBreslow had an entire offseason
This is no longer true after that terrible inning.The Red Sox have a higher XBA in this game than Anaheim does: a .485 XBA has yielded 3 hits, while Anaheim's .386 has yielded 8 hits and a ton of errors.
We created a monsterFucking Cowser is 2 for 2 with another HR tonight.
FWIW, I do think about 75% of the defensive shit is mental- which to me is all about preparation and focus. That’s on Cora.And Cora has had multiple years

Shoutout to B'Elana, who hangs in there in the crowded ranks of ST chief engineers. And Tuvok, who is is quite possibly the first Lawful Evil Vulcan we got. Good characters that deserved better plots and story arcs than they got.I get that. But for me Janeway is a top three Captain, with TNG Picard (NOT Picard series Picard. Who sucks) and Sisko. The Doctor is great, and even though the reasons she was brought on were very cynical, Seven is still amazing.
My biggest disappointment in the off-season was the retention of Cora.FWIW, I do think about 75% of the defensive shit is mental- which to me is all about preparation and focus. That’s on Cora.
They could bat with our defense in the fieldI can't even picture them scoring tonight. How could it happen? Someone hits a grounder down one of the lines for a double and someone else knocks him in with a seeing eye single? Someone gets ahold of one? The Angels make a series of miscues?
Yeah, agree that he plays big role in the focus and mental toughnessFWIW, I do think about 75% of the defensive shit is mental- which to me is all about preparation and focus. That’s on Cora.
Fire Cora, replace him withE5!!!They could bat with our defense in the field
What's the argument for not bringing him up? That he'll be overmatched and will be mentally ruined?Marcelo Mayer just went deep for the first time this season.
