    u/Qeltar_▲ 288betrayal

  • “No, this isn’t tough at all. He has sucked every year except last year and been a gigantic disappointment for the entirety of the contract. Cut bait and move on.”

    u/PepperidgeFarmMembas▲ 160rage

  • “It’s potentially a historically bad lineup. If the hitting / run production continues like this or gets worse, calling it now, Breslow is gone by the trade deadline.”

    u/LoudIncrease4021▲ 159despair

  • “Our expectations should be high. We’re the Boston Red Sox. The product on the field in not worthy of the Boston Red Sox. The way ownership operates this franchise is not worthy of the Boston Red Sox.”

  • “Can’t remember an offense as bad as this. It’s atrocious to watch.”
