Red Sox middle relief is really hurting this team badly

Kelly just plain stinks, why is he still on this roster? Too many chances he has been given!

Great defense by Abreu and now a huge throw by Duran!

Pay attention to what is trying to be slipped through the budget!

Any Sox fans thinking we are missing Romy more than we thought we would? Such solid right handed bat last year kept many rallies going.

Absolutely stupid play by Narvaez trying hero ball. Cost us both runs

As good as Mayer has been lately yet watching strike three go right bye with two men on in a key spot just doesn’t play. Fight it off, something, don’t just watch it go bye!

Honest question, don’t laugh. Could Vinny Capra help us at third base? In AAA he is at .333 and 4 homers and 17 RBI. If Volpe can be sent down so can Durbin. Durbin has been elite defensively but can’t hit his way out of a paper bag and is a rally killer. Work out the kinks in AAA.

This is a game we need badly to win. The, this is early philosophy is wearing thin.

Durbin is the human rally killer. He needs time off, this is ridiculous.

How boring can these Red Sox be??? This is truly unbelievable. Pitchers feel they have to be perfect knowing they aren’t getting any run support. We make average pitchers on the other teams look like Cy Young.

What a miserable 36 hours for Boston sports fans?? Embid couldn’t be stopped and honestly, the way the Knicks are playing they probably would have beaten the Celtics handily in the next series. On to next year….

Embid coming back and playing like he never missed a game is what changed this series around. When he is on he is a stud that is almost impossible to defend.

Not true at all. How do they all keep a straight face with all the constant lies?

Two batters into the game the Sox got a run on a home run and I chuckled to myself that the way things are going that will be the only run we score. Damn this team just is totally inept offensively.

Who would have thought that Mayer would be hitting better than Anthony so far in 2026? In the first 31 games 1 home run and 5 RBI for Anthony is abysmal.

After his last start Bello should not have even been given THIS start. Our pitching depth is the only reason he got this start. Injuries to Gray and Crochet may keep him in the rotation but he honestly doesn’t deserve to be a starter.

Bello just plain is awful, just can’t handle the pressure of being a major league pitcher. AAA time needed to straighten out if possible

The potential kings, Kelly and Bello…. So much potential, so little results, very frustrating!

Duran has hit three bullets tonight with nothing to show for it but his stance with lower hands and quieter toe tap seems to be working

Did the Bruins forget these are the playoffs and they are important? What a brutal performance.

Tracy looks like he could be Breslow’s brother, the resemblance to Craig is a bit jarring to me.

Red Sox 1-0 in the new era, 134 to go, lol… good game today, much needed. Early another solid start and got us into the 7th today.

Where is this team going to find a better manager than Cora right now. Chad Tracy is not him!

There has to be more behind all these firings than just baseball???!!!

What free agent is going to want to come to Boston now???

Another Red Sox game that was over after the first inning. Honestly, this is hard to believe what we are seeing.

Not a good look by Contreras to walk back to the bench on a called strike three that was way off the plate. That’s twice this year he just gives up, not a great look, when he should obviously challenge. Durbin and Contreras need days off big time.

Contreras needs a day off clearly

So many things not going well for the Sox is an understatement. Watson has been abysmal, can we hold him for an entire season? Why would we want to with an ERA around 8. Durbin is the ultimate rally killer so far this year. Need a big outing by the beast Crochet tomorrow to give us a little spark.

Ball is jumping out of Camden Yards, perhaps that could help the Sox too??

Send Bello to AAA to work on some things and keep Tolle in his spot. This is totally unacceptable.

The extra day sure helped Bello! 🤣

The Sox should note that both go ahead hits by the Yankees were opposite field and well done When the Sox go oppo they move the line better and find holes. Durbin needs to use the entire field and STOP pulling everything! Along with Story…

Man we miss a good Slaten again this year! Every year he gets hurt early

As soon as Rafaela gets moved up in the lineup he presses, happened last year too.

How can Durbin be four steps from first on that slow roller to third?? Fast? No freaking way!

Total insanity.

Who would have thought that Walker Buehler’s ERA would be THREE runs better than Crochet’s at this point in 2026! Crazy year so far!

Pathetic, absolutely embarrassing effort by the Red Sox. Something HAS to change and SOON.

Are the Red Sox in a hurry to get out???? Too many fast innings and no grinding out at bats. This season is so disappointing so far.

Absolutely!

Can we really keep Watson on this team all year???

All the talk about Durbin’s speed? I just don’t see it. A ball deep in the hole and he is thrown out by a step and a half. He is not fast, stop the narrative.

Moran has been terrific today and solid all year.

What is going on with Narvaez? Benching? Poor defense? 4 more k’s tonight? Is there something going on there?

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

Sandoval getting crushed again in AAA

Narvaez just may lose the starting job soon if this keeps up. Poor hitting, defensive lapses, he does not seem locked in at all.

It’s a tough season when Sox fans are excited to get two runs!
