They have lost 14 of their last 19 games since that point and continue to free fall.
By the way, that’s the first that ever happened before.
An embarrassment from top to bottom, or what I’d like to call Thursday.
There’s not a single thing they’re doing well.
They couldn’t even win a fucking national anthem stand off today.
The offense is non-existent.
It’s fucking depressing to watch for fans and probably exhilarating for haters across the globe.
The worst part of it all is that it feels like 2022 and 2023 all over again.
What’s different here besides Soto?
In perfect Cashman fashion he didn’t come close to finishing the job when it came to roster construction.
The lineup is greatly flawed.
The bullpen is a full blown disaster with dumpster diver finds all over the place.
That three run lead quickly ballooned to six, which was all she wrote.
Soto’s two run bomb in the 7th meant nothing thanks to the pen.
That’s just how it’s gone lately for this team.
Cashman is hellbent on just bringing in scrub after scrub to try and stop these offenses once starters exit.
Both of those relievers I previously mentioned will likely be DFA’d before the All Star Break.
Two new ones will come in who have been casted out by the worst teams in the league.
He’ll just keep doing this until someone sticks or the season is over.
The offense is a giant issue and will remain that way until external moves are made.
Today Anthony Volpe was mercifully removed as the lineup’s leadoff hitter.
In place of him was youngest Ben Rice, who did actually hit a bomb today.
He’s pretty much the only good thing that’s come out of these recent weeks.
That’s how desperate they are.
Volpe seems like the ideal leadoff guy, but his numbers have fallen off a cliff.
Great defender, but not a plus bat.
Lately all you’re getting from him are weak ground balls and lazy pop flys.
There is zero power behind that swing, compared to last year where he racked up 20 homers.
The issue last year was the swing and miss rate.
His last homer was on May 16th.
Even if Ben Rice keeps showing value, you still have to improve the rest.
And to top it all off, you have this buffoon leading the group.
Six straight ties or losses in series.
That red hot Red Sox team which started this whole free-fall enters town tomorrow for a three game set.
If that kind of series doesn’t light a fire under you then nothing will.
Boston embarrassed them up in Fenway.
Fucking punch back and show me something one time.
I beg of you, stop making me sad.
Love baseball so much.
