Another futile effort by our team and the same script once again.   It's getting to be a miserable habit, isn't it?  Get behind and fail to come back and win a game.  How many times has this happened lately and during the season?  And once again butter fingered Rafaela makes another error while our infield is most likely among the very worse in the game.

The needle is pointing down my friends and unless some changes are made like bringing up some of the youngsters and letting them develop we are dead in the water.  Sure, some of them might not be fully ready but  the guys we have  there now for the most part are useless.  We need to start playing winning baseball and start winning some games in a row---like five or six.  Very very depressing.  I would like to hear your take on this sad situation.  Maybe you have some better solutions  than I do or explain why this team is quickly becoming a very crappy one.

Bad, bad error by Cooper.  The Sox also have been striking out at a record pace this year.  With the infield as it is, three newcomers and Raffy, it's tough.  Plus I hear that Grissom is not at full strength because the weight he lost with the groin pull, and he missed the whole Spring training.  Must get Casas back.

Quote from: Schloicka on May 15, 2024, 09:08:34 PM3 unearned runs doom the Sox. Lose 4-3.

This one really hurt Schloicka.  Somehow, some way, we have to get our hitting, pitching and fielding on the same page and start winning a few series in a row, otherwise we may be looking at another miserable season.  I was actually walking the floor after tonight's miserable showing. 

3 unearned runs doom the Sox. Lose 4-3.

A real head scratcher for Sox fans.  Some good offense.  Devers and Ceddane had some interesting moments trying to make plays.  Dom Smith got his bat going finally.  I did not know that McGuire had that strong of an arm.
