6/09 SOX @ White Sox 2:10PM ET Can the Even Stevens Do It Again?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm betting this game will be won by a Sox team.

These clowns look like a bunch of little leaguers. What a joke.

Hey, quit picking on little leaguers. But the 'joke' part is accurate.

Basically Rafaela, Duran and Wong are only future major league starters and Rafaela has a ways to go. Ref is a valuable bench player, not a full timer.

You won't win too many games with that lineup.

Sell, sell, sell....maybe we'll get something similar to Abreu, hopefully a young starter with potential.

No Abreu love?

His off-arm splits are as bad as Duran's.

I think you misread my post....I said sell sell sell and hopefully we'll get someone like Abreu in return, maybe a pitcher with same ability/upside as Abreu.

He is one of my favorite players on this team. He's a gamer. To me he's a Red Sox.

Nice job by Cora. He knew Cooper's weak contact would get Duran home. Genius.

We're 10th in runs scored, 4th in ERA among 30 teams. Should we be better than .500? Obviously our defense has something to do with that.....ugh. 2 more unearned runs today.

So the bench is depleted with 3 innings to play , unless Devers can somehow gut it up for an AB, but that would make him play the field too . Cora is screwed if this goes extra innings. If any of the survivors stubs a toe, we will see a pitcher play a position.

Refsynder kills the big inning with a double play grounder. He sucks.

Hey, he hit the ball and got the run in. How many times this year have we seen K, K and then a lazy fly ball in that situation?

[moonslav59]

Bad time for Bernardino to have his first bad game.

[vegasbob]

Running one inning relievers out there for multiple innings just highlights more organizational weakness. Expecting a find like Bernandino to consistently to get you scoreless innings is a case of FO overexpectations.

Who are you selling?

[moonslav59]

Who are you selling?

Pivetta and Jansen.

O'Neill and Martin need to comeback and play well to have some trade value.

McGuire and Anderson have little to some value.

He’s been Houdini several times this year. Eventually that fails.

I guess they thought giving all the SP'ers an extra days rest was worth the trade-off.

The pen gets the day off, too, so all one IP guys will be available on Tuesday.

I'm not defending the choice, but it does make some sense, when you look at 3 of our SP'ers with an ERA over 6, the last 4 weeks.

You also eventually get to one guy who doesn’t have it on a given day. The more guys you use, the more likely it will happen.
