No hits for Bryan Ramos last night, but a decent game nonetheless. Ramos made a really nice play at third to throw out Lane Thomas in the eighth inning from deep behind the bag, and he lined out so hard in the ninth to end the game that he sent third baseman Jose Ramirez sprawling. Guardians 5 Sad Sox 0. What really bothered me, other than the Sad Sox losing their fourteenth straight at home and 113th on the season, was a comment GM Hahn-Getz made Monday. Hahn-Getz admitted he wouldn’t have been surprised if the team he’d assembled coming out of spring training went on to lose 100 or 105 or 110 game. He just didn’t think they’d be on the verge of breaking the MLB record for losses in a season. “But this is the cards we’ve been dealt at this point.” [quote in today’s Tribune] It's a bad sign when the guy dealing the cards thinks someone else is responsible. But that’s where we are.
