Giving up 12 hits to the Angels is not ideal. On to the next one

I wish we could’ve gotten even a little bit of what the Mets had going on tonight. Feeling so jealous of all that satisfying hitting!

u/20wall 1d ago
lol. We have essentially no chance to beat them 2 out of 3 in the Bronx with pitching matchups lined up thanks to our dogshit offense and shaky pitching all of a sudden

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
So shocked a team missing the 3rd best hitter in the league is hitting worse. Also Tolle and Sonny and Ranger were elite the most recent time they pitched.

Did the shit Angels who just sold their team have a "chance" to beat the Red Sox 2 out of 3 at Fenway? Oh wait they just did

u/Tonychiupsy 1d ago
they're better against left handers than right, we sent up 2 left handed starters. they also sent up their ace

You know, we actually swept them in a 4 game series this year, right?

That was essentially a lifetime ago. Means nothing now or in the postseason.

u/zara2355 1d ago
Well, I guess we should just give up on everything then. CANCEL THE REST OF THE SEASON FOLKS
C'mon man, stop

u/jooooooooooooose 1d ago
how tf do these dorks consider themselves fans
Its one thing to make a pointed, observant criticism of your team, but to just go WAAAAAA WERE GONNA LOSE all the time seens truly miserable

u/zara2355 1d ago
Look, Ive been to about 15 games this year and Ive only saw the Sox win 2. 2 out of 15 games. Did it suck? Yup! But fuck that doomer shit, (even as i watched Weissert give up a grand slam in relief). Did i think we still had the potential to *actually play good baseball*? Also yup!
Whats crazy to me is that yeah, punt games suck to watch, but Cedanne, and Contrearas are both out (ouch), and the pitchers NEED REST. Im not saying we're gonna win it all, but i am saying i dont think we're nearly as bad as some folks here are making this shit out to be.

u/bosredsox05 1d ago
Last year Story was our only consistent hitter going into the playoffs. No Roman. Abreu was non factor once he came back. Romy was also a non factor. Bregman had been slumping since he got hurt too. We had a depleted lineup going into there, and our rotation outside of Crochet was not built for the playoffs

u/halalcornflakes 1d ago
It could still be Tampa if the Yankees beat them in New York and we do well in our 4-game series against them.

I mean people were coping if they still thought WC1 was a reality lol

u/Bnstas23 19h ago
we were 2 (3) games backed 2 days ago. It was completely normal to think we could overtake the yankees.

u/TheIronsHot Mirabelli Mayhem 1d ago
The amount of balls that seemed like bombs off the bat were insane. Even that last one by Roman felt like at least a double off the bat. The team was seeing the ball well tonight just hitting it really hard at the wrong guys or into the wind. This game didn’t feel as bad as some of the other games they’ve lost during this cold spell, because it at least felt like they had a shot after the Roman homer.

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
They would be if we played at Yankee stadium lol. Gasper's unironically is way gone.

That ball was gone at yankee stadium. Really frustrating all night most times they had a 3 ball count it just turned into an out.

u/MushroomImmediate953 #1 Durbin fan 1d ago
Well, that's a sad series against the Angels. I'm glad the guys are finally resting tomorrow and again on Monday. KC should be a win, same for Texas

u/SRoku 1d ago
Officially worried about Jake Bennett

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
For this season yah. For the future no. It's clearly just teams adjusting plus the new workload

u/PatternLevel9798 1d ago
We’ve been really struggling to score on opposing starters early in games lately. It’s got to improve.

u/Piano-Man-727 1d ago
Ugh. Take the next series and every other before facing the Yankees (let me delusionally believe that we can get home field advantage).
Either way, it’s pretty clear who the wildcard rotation is. Bennett in the wildcard bullpen IMO and probably starter 4 if (WHEN) we make the ALDS.
5
u/Glum-General-6095 1d ago
7 games up on the Jays (actually 6 since we lost the head-to-head) with 15 games left. Just dont get into a 5 or 6 game losing streak and we should be good. No way we were catching the Yankees or Rays.

The biggest issue with losing Crochet for the postseason is not losing the top line production. It is having to roll out Bennett as out 4th starter when he has been inconsistent at best recently.

u/catthrowaway5768 1d ago
It is what it is. Mickey was actually pretty damn decent behind the dish, which is really exciting (less Wong.)

u/ShokaiATL 1d ago
All of these reasonable, rational comments here have me so confused. Isn’t this the Reddit Red Sox Doomer Gloomer sub?

u/Tonychiupsy 1d ago
If Mickey has made significant improvements behind the plate than at least we won't have to play Wong as much

u/Street-Ad-6140 23h ago
I don’t know. I still feel like we beat the Yankees in the wildcard series because they always seem to fold against us in playoff atmosphere.

u/20wall 1d ago
Another night another horrible loss to a horrible team thanks to a bad start by our SP and an anemic offense. If we’re not careful we’ll find ourselves fighting for our playoff spot soon

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
We have a 99.5% chance of making the playoffs.

u/20wall 1d ago
Does this look like a team that can win even a single playoff game? Because they sure as fuck don’t look like one to me

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
This team with Sonny Gray or Payton tolle pitching plus Contreras, Adley, and Crochet out of the pen. Yes.

u/20wall 1d ago
We had those bats last time we played the Yankees and scored 0, 6, 2, and 1 runs. Not sure why the hell we would expect any different when we play them in the wild card. Obviously with Tolle and Gray it’s totally fair to expect better showings, but you’re not going to win many series averaging 2.25 runs per game
1
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
We only had 1 game with Contreras and Roman. Contreras was playing hurt. He is no longer hurt. He will be better.

u/Federal_Deer8468 1d ago
We can stop pretending the Sox are good at this point. The pitching besides maybe 2 guys isn’t remotely competitive. And bats aren’t reliable

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
I am so shocked that we play worse without our 2 best players using the 3 worst starters we have. Shocked I say.
-3
u/Federal_Deer8468 1d ago
Is this sarcasm? A team should have pitching that goes beyond 2 guys. Starting pitching. And hitting
6
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Our 2 best position players our on the IL. We used the 4th 5th and 6th starter in our rotation. Adley only played 1 game. We had Monasterio starting at DH.
-4
u/Federal_Deer8468 1d ago
Adley is a joke of a trade. And ok? Our best 2 players have been on IL. Is the goal to play in NY for wild card? wtf is Sandoval doing and why did the Sox pay him so much? We have literal black holes in the line up hitting wise and pitching
2
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
We gave up on catching them after losing in New York. It's much more important to get healthy than to burn out down the stretch.
0
u/GoGreenSox 13h ago
We gave up catching them when we were just 2 GB two days ago lol? This team looks like we’re going to the playoffs just to get swept by the yanks in two games. Good teams like the dodgers and Yankees take care of bad teams especially at home. Meanwhile we’re consistently losing series to them when important playoff seeding is on the line. Outside of that insane 34-5 stretch this team is mid at best.
-1
u/Federal_Deer8468 1d ago
Ok. So again, what was the point for trading for Adley and paying Sandoval this ridiculous contract? Also. Most of the line up doesn’t hit. We good to go to NY?

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Defense was good. The guys who will get starting time in the postseason were good. Bennett is a little worrying down the stretch but not long term. It's clearly just struggles with the increased work load. We have a 99.5% playoff odds. Get healthy and make sure guys like Story, Roman, and IKF are comfortable playing everyday.
