I trust the Jays all got vaxxed. /snark
But true story, the Jays might pass on a trade for Beni because of his vaxx views.

I think they would have to as he would be only able to either play home games or away games.
Hoping Eovaldi can set a tone and by that I mean not melting down. Ditto the rest of them. I just have no faith in this team anymore.
Looks like Cora is shuffling the deck for any able-bodied AAA pitchers. This Sunday pitcher is now TBD.

TBD = Tampa Bay Day. It's part of Bloom's "strategy".
Some moves by Boston today. Sale to the 15 day IL. Connor Wong optioned to AAA. Yolmar Sanchez promoted to Sox along with P Brayan Bello.
Pretty sorry first AB by Bogaerts. Swinging at crap. Left Devers stranded at 2B.
Pretty much looking like where they left off. Eovaldi gives up the lead early (and they are hitting the ball hard), then Sox get Raffy on where he stays.
This game is heading south quickly.
You’d think after the humiliation of late they’d be a little more fired up, but this looks like a team that is playing out the string already.

Agreed. Too make matters worse we have to endure Tony Mazz babble on incessantly.
Duran just summed up the entire Sox season. Duran has no business in the outfield.
Wow, this is a new low which in a season of lows is hard to do. And WTF with Duran, bad enough he doesn’t see it but he just stands there after it lands? This is just amazing.
Mazz is annoying but he made a good point about the Sox not having had a 1B for two seasons.
Wow, ran out for a quick errand and came back to a massacree. This is pathetic. Guess the season really is over if giving up 10+ runs per game is the new normal.
There we go. Long overdue for a throwing error.
Followed by a three run homer.
It is amazing how far this team has fallen. I have seen high school teams play better. This is what happens when no one on the team gives a sh-t.
And it gets worse. I have better things to do than watch this debacle. Like cleaning the garage or getting a root canal.
I was at the game in Baltimore when the Rangers scored 30 runs against Baltimore. How long before JBJ pitches?
I don’t see Cora getting out of July with a job. Bloom has poisoned the Boston lineup, and the clubhouse, with this ticky tack value-added crap. Henry will have Cora take the fall.
Just when you thought it could not get any worse. Cora has lost this team. Words can not describe the sorry state of this team.
Another lost fly ball. More runs coming in. They still need to get through another 4 innings of pitching.

No question. He has to go soon.
Up to 19 now. We need a mercy rule. Fortunately I have my own. It’s called Netflix.
You spoke too soon, 21.
9 runs after 2 outs. This is unfing believable!
Well, that was a whole new level of low. I went down after the HR in the 4th to make it 14-0, IIRC.
The team has lost it on so many levels. Lots of blame to spread around.
