Red Sox fans speak out

It is time the voices of the Red Sox fans be heard

John Tlumacki // Boston Globe

Get your coffee ready.

Red Sox fans were asked a question on Twitter about what changes need to be made to turn things around. The responses were unfiltered, from the hear and honest.

Lets face it, the Red Sox have a lineup that could potentially be dangerous for opponents. It’s been anything but that. Sitting at 10-19 on the year, the Red Sox have one series win. What is worse about that is the Reds, who only have five wins on the year also have one series win.

Calling up Jarren Duran, then demoting him back to Worcester isn’t the right move. Calling up Franchy Cordero has been the right move so far. However, Boston needs to do something with Bobby Dalbec. And the signing of Carlos Martínez after one outing hasn’t showed any glimpses of hope for the Red Sox faithful.

A change needs to happen. Don’t just rely on the trade market, or value of prospects for highly-graded pitchers for just one season. Get the young guys up, trust them to do the job and build around them.

The Red Sox are officially in last place. Yes, behind the Orioles. What needs to change? Open discussion. ⬇️

Here is what they had to say:

One of the biggest things the Sox have to do is let the starting pitchers get deeper into games, pulling them early regardless of how they’re doing to put in that atrocious bullpen has cost them at least a couple of games

KPinMaine @kyyuulle

@micdupgravley Get rid of Sawamura

Sean Wiese @SeanWiese4

@micdupgravley Our bullpen, being more consistent

Joey @soxfanjoey

@micdupgravley Closer, bullpen, 1st base, catcher, morale, certain coaching

Anthony Curtis @AnthonyCurtis68

@micdupgravley Time to do young in the lineup … send Dalbec down and bring up Casas. Let Wong see most time behind the plate. Keep Duran.

jake maves @jmichaelmaves

@micdupgravley Winning baseball games would be a good start

Michael Keene @gingerbeardk689

@micdupgravley It's going to be a little bit of a wait but the farm system is there. Just need to not get tied up in any more bad deals like Story. Spend but spend smartly. Schwarber on a 2 to 3 year deal would have been perfect. Could have gotten Correa to play second on a similar deal

Brayden (10-18) @redsoxreactions

@micdupgravley We need a closer more than anything

Jared Phelan @jaredphelan08

@micdupgravley Bring up casas

SOX ND @RedSoxNoDak

@micdupgravley The bullpen looks gassed, the offense isn’t there right now. TREVOR STORY IS NOT THE PROBLEM! HE WILL BE FINE. (Sorry for my outburst). Vazquez might need to be moved.

Jared Phelan @jaredphelan08

@micdupgravley We need a legit closer

Jhonny Gómez @JohnGomez021

@micdupgravley A major shake up. Time to start DFA'ing and firing guys. Hitting coaches all needs to go.

@micdupgravley bloom

Will Hensley @DJRC222

@micdupgravley Nothing, it’s where they need to be

@micdupgravley Better at bats.

@micdupgravley The calendar needs to change to next year.

Cody Bondeson @cody_bondeson

@micdupgravley Lineup needs to just figure it out. The current bullpen mix isn’t working. Other than that? 🤷🏻‍♂️
