GAME #101, BOSTON RED SOX AT SEATTLE MARINERS

[markj]

This offense has been useless since the ASB. 1 hit thru 5 innings. Oy.

[ipot]

This lineup is a total and utter fraud.

Phew...for a minute there I thought they were gonna score.  And Marrero GIDPs. 

Gotta keep looking pathetic at the plate - all of them - to force DD's hand to put For Sale tags on every hitter not named Betts, Pedroia, or Benintendi.

Third shutout this month. Still time for a few more.

This game is further evidence that they need more than what Devers will bring.IMO this team was overrated from the start of ST.
All of a sudden on his 2016 season Mookie was rated right under Trout as the 2nd best player .How has that worked out?
JBJ also had a career year and so on thru the lineup. It was talked up that Beni was the next great Sox LFr.Xander also was all of a sudden a power hitter after 21 in 2016.He has turned out to be a slap hitter content on simply putting the ball in play without trying to drive the ball. Summary is a very poor offensive which we all have known since the start of May.

Yep, they're hoping to go to the world series with a very young team.  Sure the pitching is pretty good, but this team simply can't hit.  There are so many things wrong too, between the 3B saga, the insistence on putting guys like Fister out there, nobody setting Price down and telling him to worry more about pitching than broadcasting, but most importantly, watching one guy after another with half swings flailing away. 

E-Rod - he has great swing and miss stuff, if he'd just get the ball over the plate and let them put it in play if you can.  He went one stretch where he had 2Ks on 6 pitches and they couldn't touch him.  Here's a hint for all Red Sox pitchers - if you get an 0-2 count, go after the guy and put him away!

Also, I'm so tired of watching Chris Young in particular, JBJ when he's slumping and some of the others who chase breaking balls in the dirt but are frozen on strike 3 right over the plate.
