Yeah....I got nothin.
But these guys are professional hitters. They need to hit.
I’ll start by saying I’m relatively new to following the Red Sox. I started following the Red Sox in 2023 and I moved to Boston a year and a half ago. I know a bit of on field strategy and have followed College Baseball and my local minor league team from home most of my life. However as far as like business and front office strategy I’m kinda in the dark.
I’ve asked some of my friends, my girlfriend and her family (been season ticket holders since she was 3) and they all just give very general answers for what’s wrong with the Red Sox. Examples include front office, ownership, Cora (a lot of the answers), they suck (second most common answer), Breslow (I’m guessing like he’s the GM).
I’ve seen a lot on here about not being aggressive with the bat. So Reddit what wrong? Does anyone have a little more detailed answer than the one word stuff I get from friends?

But damn I'd rather be a winning ball club
Want to watch the Celtics or bruins at Fenway, bring a tablet and you can stream easily in HD!
Was looking forward to a national game tonight.
Lo and behold I put on tbs and it tells me it's blacked out. Being in New York sucks since I don't have cable and will not pay for gotham sports. So bummed again. Maybe the Amazon prime game Yankees feed won't be blacked out tomorrow
Complete utter garbage. This team is hard to watch
Decided to hit Fenway last minute tonight and wow – I don’t know if this picture really captures the vibe but during the ninth inning everyone in the dugout was just standing on the top step looking at each other like “what the fuck is going on”.
These guys obviously care, they just look fucking lost. Cora seems despondent. Changes need to be made here soon if there’s any hope for this season left whatsoever.
Okay so I’ll start by saying I’ll probably watch a minimum 140 of this season’s games and I’m not looking to have a shit time, so I truly hope they turn it around here.
With that said, my biggest fear is that they win 80 something and no one really pays for it. The least informed Red Sox fan knows they didn’t make the right moves this offseason. Yes they may have improved the defense but, at the end of the day, you win ballgames by scoring runs. They need pop and they just don’t have it.
The team I’m watching every day looks like a small market team but, thing is, they are spending money. If they lose 90 games this year with the 6th highest payroll in the game, maybe there would actually be some changes.
People say Henry only cares about Liverpool (maybe) or making money (okay yeah, definitely) but I find it hard to believe that spending what he’s spending to finish fourth/fifth is acceptable to him. If that’s what it takes to get Breslow the fuck outta there (and the whole analytics department with him) and hire some people with the personal skills to actually put together a roster that make sense on the field, I might be okay with it.
RED SOCKS ARE GONNA WIN TONIGHT also RED SOCKS EAT CHICKEN NUGGETS
Anyone else experiencing issues with the NESN broadcast (video feed issues) during games? For the past few years we have been experiencing intermittent pixilation on screen during live Red Sox game broadcasts. Only lasts a few seconds, but happens multiple times during the broadcast. We don’t notice it during other NESN broadcasts. We have DirectTV now, but noticed it last year as well on Comcast as well. By the way, F’ the Yankees!!! Go Sox!!!!
I don’t understand why a multimedia gorilla like NESN still cannot figure out how to equalize audio.
i really ENJOY WHEN the audio IS CONStantly CHANging frOM loud to QUIET.
FIGURE IT OUT FOR GODSAKE
He’s really been mixing it up lately, from tv theme songs to classics to new stuff that I’m too old to identify, often with tongue-in-cheek silliness that has brought levity to some otherwise tough games. Just wanted to show some love to this local treasure.
