At what point do we consider the possibility that the team really is this bad? The offense remains putrid, much of the pitching has been disappointing, and the team is not fundamentally sound. If this continues long enough, injuries or no injuries, could we possibly do the unthinkable and start selling off young assets?

We must lead the majors in getting guys thrown out at the plate.
Pitching to Buxton in the tenth to me was a bad coaching decision. His run is meaningless at that point. Once Hendriks threw the wild pitch and first base was open, you put him on and pitch to Arraez. No reason to let him beat you like he did. Take your chances turning the DP to end the game.I want my $2

I think they should try Graveman in the 9th at least for a while. Hendriks has given up WAY TOO MANY homeruns in his year plus here as closer. It just doesn't work in that position. What a horrible week. Getting blown out and looking like clowns in game 1 on Wednesday was embarrassing but if you salvage the second game the whole week looks different. Instead they inexplicably ran a split squad lineup that game and it snowballed from there. Nothing is working but I guess if you're going to put yourself in a hole at least they are doing it with a lot of season left.

I agree with thomas35forever's assessment, maybe this team isn't as good as we think they should be.
Jimenez is out for 6-8 weeks. IMO he will never play more than 100 games/season in his career because he is, plain and simple, injury prone.
Hendriks gives up way too many long balls for a closer. Plus, he appeared to injure himself when he was out there today. That would be consistent with our "one injury per game" quota.
The Sox should consider hiring a bench coach immediately. His main job would be to keep TLR awake during the game.
A welcome day off for this team to kick back and figure out what's going on. Sox haven't won a game in over a week and struggle daily to put three runs on the board.
