um... we’re not losing

Well they gave Cruz another chance. Regression to the mean I guess.

This isn’t the worst baseball game I’ve ever seen, but it ain’t good.

As we stand today, Jose Abreu is the AL MVP. 

Here comes.

Well Cruz is 40 so...

Rogers just does not have the command he had last year. 

 

This isn’t the worst baseball game I’ve ever seen, but it ain’t good.

Among the more frustrating.

FFS.

20 pitches, 1 run, zero outs. 

 

Godawful, Rogers. 

Ick. Yuck. Ugh.

Just keep telling yourself it’s bad luck... Rogers is fine...

Rogers' control was shaky from the moment that Ronda Rousey Fathead behind the visitors' dugout started riding him...

 

I'll never understand how Rocco comes to some of the bullpen decisions he conjures up.  You don't pitch your closer in a tie game in the 8th inning.  As we've seen more this year than most, Rogers just doesn't have it when he's not in a save situation.

TERRIBLE pitch.

 

TERRIBLE.

Worst loss of the year.

Why does Rocco refuse to understand that this version of Rogers isn't a high-leverage pitcher anymore??? At the moment I trust about every pitcher in our bullpen more than Rogers.

 

Everytime he pitches we get in trouble!

Well if you trot Rogers out in the 9th, then the Sox likely walk him off...

Couple more of these and I think Baldelli's going to suspect that this isn't Rogers' thing.

Rogers doesn't have it in any situation this season.

Good night; it’s late back East.  Or, rather, Not Good Night.

It’s all shaping up to be a twins/yankees wild card matchup. WHO WANTS TO BET

Any bets on Rogers needing some type of arm surgery soon or in the off-season?

Too bad the twins went 9-9 against the royals and tigers. And the sox lost like twice against them

Really wish the Twins had added to their pen at the deadline. 

Perhaps alcala was a better option

Watching Baldelli keep marching Rogers out in September 2020 as the ace closer is like watching Molitor keep sending Perkins out in September of 2015....... you know what is going to happen and just can't stop it. I didn't understand it then, and I don't now, and can't stop it. Perkins was hurt, and it didn't stop Molitor. Rogers? Why can't magic Wes fix him, eh?

His twin bro isn't doing anything important with his left arm, is he? I'm thinking offseason swap.

Can we all agree Rogers should be pitching in a game after the 6th inning this season? He's been terrible.

 

Perhaps alcala was a better option

It's probably time to switch their roles... well, maybe not save situations for Jorge, but Rogers needs to be in the back-end of the pen.
