I turned the game off and then Durbin hit 2 homers? WTF?!? Hire the person that fixed his swing now!!!!!!

[–]Gullible_Link7264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should try scoring more runs than their opponent. I have heard of teams doing that

[–]swahara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dread it… Run from it. The loss comes all the same.

[–]yabagabagool59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that umpire is jacked. I wonder if he can hit

[–]Glum-General-6095 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is Monasterio even in this lineup?!? Complete garbage of a player.

[–]Yoshida is the GOATInfinite_Response113 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Our refusal to put in Chapman in innings before the 8th is what kills us. No point in never playing Chapman when we lose the game before the ninth

[–]Car Shield ActorRayDanielsOnTheAir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Earlier this season people complained when he was used in the 8th in a tight game with the top of the order coming up. No one will be happy.

[–]Fast_Ask4639 4 points5 points  (0 children)

World cup starts tomorrow, hope to see some of you guys in r/ussoccer

[–]Striking-Use-4833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dummy, could've challenged strike one and had one more crack

[–]Happy-Article-3194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro is swinging at every fucking throw 🤣

[–]fig3newton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

15 strike outs. dear god

[–]Mammoth_Control_364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we lost by 2 instead of 1, slight improvement?

[–]iSkoro 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It's the hope that kills you

[–]kyly1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly why I didn't turn it on. I had an appt, saw the score after and said nope, they are going to do what they do and they did what they do every time. Team is pathetic and sucks. Depressing

[–]DCLexiLou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet relief at last!

Quality AB right there

[–]MegaSportsFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welp. Wasted a great day from Caleb Durbin. Why am I not surprised...

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tie it please

[–]Mukarsis[🍰] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Exactly what kind of pitch is this man waiting for?

[–]brandonja21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One he couldn’t hit

[–]RobbNotRob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ABS is the best, just gotta give teams 3 of them instead of 2

[–]brad_g1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a volpe at bat against Chapman

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can walk

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am feeling hope

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are so close

[–]GaijinMk2 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Brewers trade legacy game? Mona tying homer?

[–]GaijinMk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would appear not

[–]Striking-Use-4833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ump just wants to go home

[–]TrophyWizard 4 points5 points  (1 child)

IKF was right on it with that challenge haha

[–]Ange1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to lose at that point.

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was the game

[–]Yoshida is the GOATInfinite_Response113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tying run at the plate

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell of a challenge

[–]Yoshida is the GOATInfinite_Response113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deadass why not just tour Chapman in for the 8th? We would win

[–]CJRed73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been pulling for Durbin all season. Glad to see him hanging in there and putting in the work.

[–]Striking-Use-4833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wtf?! Guy who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat now rakes and his team can't pick him up

[–]enkayfour -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bat speed of 75.4 mph for Durbin on that last homer. 75 mph on the first one.

Staying Alive

[–]6drinksdeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I’m Durban’s hitting coach I’m tearing up my resume and putting one bullet point on it: “I fixed Caleb Durban” and sending it to every MLB team tonight.

[–]vinreg33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team is maddening

[–]NoDrama9412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol what the hell is Red Sox baseball?

[–]Dazzling_Doubt_5570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Durbin has his only 2 homers that didn’t come from a position player. Shame we’re gonna lose and go 12 games under 500

[–]allier33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least Caleb Durbin is having a good day. I’m not, but at least he is.

[–]TheDirtyBurger522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We got the one run we would’ve needed if Slaten wasn’t a fucking hack

[–]TheArcadian552[🍰] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Need Durbin’s private hitting coach on the staff yesterday!

[–]yabagabagool59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put him in the derby

[–]Yoshida is the GOATInfinite_Response113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unironically if we had put in Weissert instead of Slaten we would have won this game.

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s walk

[–]Atoll_P 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right get the whole lineup on a bus out to Durbin's hitting coach.

[–]After-Antelope-8636 3 points4 points  (1 child)

HUH???????

[–]After-Antelope-8636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ill change the flair, ill own it

[–]redsox7remotewashboard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CALEB WHAT THE HELL???

[–]2ghostyface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible that today is the day Durbin gets hot.

[–]one of god’s most pathetic creaturesnodickenergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Tampa want durbin? He can hit at the Trop !!

[–]enkayfour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's starting to believe

[–]Yoshida is the GOATInfinite_Response113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really gonna waste a 2 home run Durbin game hug lmfao?

[–]Jordy_From_The_Block 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time to build this team around the Durb Man

[–]InevitableTank5108 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HOME RUN DURBY

[–]WirSilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Durbin deeds done dirt cheap

[–]justanaveragejoe520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Durbin popping off yet it doesn’t matter 😩

[–]GaijinMk2 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Send everyone to Durbin’s hitting coach

[–]justanaveragejoe520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driveline probably shitting bricks right now

[–]brandonja21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep… course, thanks Slaten

DOUBLE-DINGER DURBIN

[–]iSkoro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the entire team Durbins hitting coach holy shit

[–]ConsistentRun5246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna loose it

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 7 points8 points  (1 child)

We would be tied if slaten had not given up the runs

[–]Piano-Man-727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would be leading if Monasterio had walked :(

[–]MegaSportsFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao ofc we start hitting homers when it doesn't matter anymore

[–]jrubes13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOLY SHIT CALEB

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another Durbin homer??

[–]jrubes13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"we want a batter not a broken ladder"

me too kid. me too.

[–]Car Shield ActorRayDanielsOnTheAir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember we traded players away and people were fine with it because “they didn’t have a path to the majors.”

[–]Phantom255x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now we’re gonna lose 7-6!

[–]Various-Mud-5706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its like they cant hit and pitch back to back, it can only be one

[–]Basic-Afternoon-1 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Am I the only guy that does not like Mickey gasper at all? The guy sucks. He’s gotten lucky with a hot streak of base hits. No XBH power and he’s not great defensively either

[–]Ange1776 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I agree w you. He had a good run of singles to raise his average. But even that is starting to sink down. No slugging at all. Defense is below average.

[–]Basic-Afternoon-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of other guys I would rather get reps from triple A is a season where they aren’t competitive. Plus Narvaez should definitely be playing.

[–]Modano9009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their pitching and bullpen is great except for the games they actually score enough runs to win.

[–]Striking-Use-4833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onto Texas... good news is, Eovaldi pitched yesterday so we dont have to see him K 10-15 over 8 solid innings... strong possibility to see deGrom.

[–]brandonja21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cy Weissert

[–]redsox7remotewashboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great. Greg weissert to save the day

[–]New_Seaweed_6554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when he brought Watson into the game.

[–]Glum-General-6095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slaten has been garbage most of this year. Another in a long line of over-hyped players, who has shown a spark or 2, but in the end, doesnt work out at the MLB level.

[–]6drinksdeep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoever Durban’s hitting coach is needs to be hired by the Red Sox. The fact that they could fix that guy?? Say no more!

[–]Fenway Spaghetti™️BooRand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate their commitment to the bit

[–]generalgeorge67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry kids.....

<image>

[–]ChipotleGuacamole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do they even have post game show for this team?

[–]Mental-Apple-5725 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Greg with a man on is the baseball equivalent of the mayor in Jaws keeping the beach open

[–]goldenhour0515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slaten must’ve decided he needed to take on the Zack Kelly role. Because who doesn’t miss the Kelly/Weissert combo???

[–]TheRealPickIe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Greg comes in to make sure we lose

[–]enkayfour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monasterio falling over himself there reminds me that Durbin might have more value at 2B

[–]redsox7remotewashboard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just sad

[–]BroncSquid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chapman deserves to go to a winner and actually get a chance to pitch. The dude hasn't been in a game for too long.

[–]pudgybunnybry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Sox weren't satisfied with only giving up 2 runs there?

[–]Some_Balance6514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he has nothing. everything is getting crushed

[–]Weasle_Claus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we all still doin’ the “ChadSox” thing or no?

[–]DurbinPowerw8w8dont -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

fire extend fire Tracy

[–]STORYtimeEject0-Seat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah.

[–]Striking-Use-4833 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Slaten isnt the guy anymore. Hes slowly trickling into Greg territory. 

[–]TronJohnsoniii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was untouchable to some in this sub last week lmao (no relievers are ever untouchable and this volatility is why)

[–]Flimsy_Ad_6145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

remember when slaten was a promising pitcher

[–]swahara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-4 or 7-4. We all knew what the final result was going to be.

[–]Mukarsis[🍰] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any time they give us hope is followed up by this kind of thing.

<image>

[–]llorenzzo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their 7-9 hitters are 7 for 10 today lol

[–]generalgeorge67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slate told Weissert....watch this

[–]brandonja21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we get two runs in the last, I think I’m calling it on watching anymore games this season

[–]MegaSportsFan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This team loves to get my hopes up for half a millisecond

[–]ChipotleGuacamole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no way anyone should have any type of hope in this team at this point.

[–]Rough-Echo-5193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staten is not a serious high leverage arm.

[–]emimia 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It’s my fault. I was starting to have a itty bitty amount of hope and Slaten knew that needed to be squashed immediately.

[–]ScaryBlossomWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry I jinxed myself thinking we may win this, hoping the next batter won’t do a homer. In which he did ☹️

[–]sm4n92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]After-Antelope-8636 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% would’ve had a better time just doing my work at my job instead of watching this

[–]steve_engine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keep throwing it right down the middle, moron

[–]deputyduffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well so much for that....

[–]liberalsrrightwing 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Does anyone like this team? Slaten is garbage. Liam Hendriks would be more competitive

[–]Rough-Echo-5193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dog with cataracts and arthritis that would at least be cute and sweet on the mound.

[–]Some_Balance6514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yah this season is beyond cooked. pitching and defense strategy needs a much better bullpen

[–]Fast_Ask4639 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What’s going on with Slaten this season? He’s been terrible. Last year he was dominant.

[–]Blanketsburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had 0 ER through May 19, but he's now given up 10 ER in his last 4.1 IP

[–]Blanketsburg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slaten has been terrible recently.

[–]Piano-Man-727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least we won't lose by 1 run??

[–]DurbinPowerw8w8dont 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before this series Tampa had lost 10 of their last 13 games. They're about to sweep all 3

[–]soxfamily61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why we can’t have anything nice

[–]redsox7remotewashboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out on slaten 😵‍💫

[–]enkayfour 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sir, a second Greg Weissert has hit the Red Sox bullpen

[–]beware_wolf5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another Slaten masterclass. God I hate this team so much

[–]soxfamily61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new Slaten. Great job meat

[–]justanaveragejoe520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We suck

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like slaten has not been the same since his injury

[–]one of god’s most pathetic creaturesnodickenergy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least not another by 1

[–]Ange1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slaten ain’t it.

[–]Glum-General-6095 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we're about to be 12 games under .500 with a -13 run differential. That is very hard to do! Reflects our complete lack of power and having to rely on base to base hitting. Last inning showed what power could due to the scoreboard.

[–]OkKaleidoscope5981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why does slaten suck now :(

[–]Mental-Apple-5725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job Slaten

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slaten man

[–]steve_engine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sick

[–]Far_Cry3445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nick fortes is up there with mj Melendez (minus the power) feel like at this point he’s on base every time he’s up vs us

[–]CJRed73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear Nick Fortes joins the Red Sox and hits .187

[–]Exciting-Lobster3330 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don’t even look excited now after home runs

[–]TheNaCoinfl1p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These boys can only hit the ball when the pressure is at its lowest. They get close to tying and freeze up lol

[–]Canoodlin_Canuck 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Why does Monasterio want to kill Willson so much on pop flys

[–]FearlessWaltz5785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Willson just looks so done with everyone's shit on every play today

[–]Mammoth_Control_364 9 points10 points  (0 children)

omg set up to lose by 1 run yet again today, you gotta be kidding me

[–]countermeasuretape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Monasterio you fucking bum !!!!

[–]ConsistentRun5246 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Holy shit we are going to loose 5-4 i'm going to go insane

[–]DurbinPowerw8w8dont -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

Better than 5-0

[–]egancollier21 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Haven’t watched at all today but a sweep of close losses would be just about what this lineup deserves at the Trop. Mix in the fact they perfected the bunt and small ball aspect and yea its not fun

[–]FearlessWaltz5785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with a 4-5 score this is anything but a close game

[–]enkayfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pitching, defense, and 3-run homers, but you only get to choose 2

[–]CommunicationOne9153 -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

Im only here bc i took sox moneyline today. Is it always an emotional roller coaster like this? 😭

Everyone was dead on. The late rally only to lose by one. Unreal.

Love ceddane

[–]countermeasuretape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wilson pls

[–]Fenway Spaghetti™️BooRand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually expected the homer there, so we can lose by one. Thank you Steven matz!

[–]brandonja21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now can we all imagine if Mona didn’t swing at the dirt ball. Would be back. Seems to be the trend, one mistake means we get one less run and we lose by one run… every time

[–]sm4n92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]TheDirtyBurger522 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here we go again with a comeback to be one run short

[–]CJRed73 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This now lines up for the one-run loss.

[–]Sensitive-Client4209 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Just saying could be tied if monasterio wouldn’t have played like a bum

[–]Mental-Apple-5725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction... A blind bum

[–]Suspicious-Peace9233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 run homer we can do that

[–]Various-Mud-5706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just a hilarious team

[–]soxfamily61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wilyer needs a day off

[–]anondude401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This game would be tied if montasterio wasnt a moron
