8/01 SOX @ Astros 8:10PM ET

Hey HY, your baseball knowledge wouldn't fill a thimble....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He said management promised him he wouldn’t be traded.

 

Thanks; the post you responded to was that the SOX would get less after Bogey leaves. You mentioned that Bogey said that wouldn't happen, thus the confusion.

It also caused me to be stalked by the ugly troll.

Which one 😉

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Which one

 

Jefferson Davis.

[FredLynn]

Jefferson Davis.

 

I know

I was kidding

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just wanted to clarify his first name.

I imagine the SOX have two chances of getting a decent haul for JD; slim and none.

And slim left town.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And slim left town.

 

Slim Pickens? Which is probably what the SOX will get.

[FredLynn]

Who else should they flush before tomorrow? There aren’t many position players worth keeping. They can’t keep both Bogaerts and Devers-I keep Devers. Keep Duran because he might work out. Story. Kiki maybe. Verdugo. That’s really about it.

[vegasbob]

Sanchez sucks worse than Plawecki and 2 other guys combined.

[vegasbob]

If Buster Olney is correct, the clubhouse is getting restless with no clue as to Bloom's plan for this team. Lose the clubhouse, lose the manager, lose your job. It will get clearer after 6PM tomorrow when EO and Martinez's position clarifies. The vets do not want to hear from their management that they are not contenders.

In that case, players, try winning a few games in a row.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran Delivers! Again.

[vegasbob]

Duran says , trade me now boss , I'm hot

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran says , trade me now boss , I'm hot

 

Duran must have been speaking to Dalbec about timing your hot streak.

The vets know where this team is headed this year. But what’s the plan for the upcoming years? They likely won’t be competitive next year either. Two more years of this? Three?

Once Dalbec saw that July rolled into August a couple days ago, he woke up and said , "It's My Time, Boys !"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The O's really screwed their fans. After trading Mancini for prospects, the ownership pretty much told the fans "Hey, we could of had a shot this year of making the PO's, but just be patient. We'll have a better shot in about 3 years."

[vegasbob]

I think Nate is making the statement needed tonight: Pick me, pick me, get me on a contender. Bloom should call down and tell AC , don't push our luck here

I'm still pissed they traded VAZ. Of course with his hard work ethic, hustle and clutch hitting, he really didn't fit on this SOX team.

[vegasbob]

As a fan, I do think that Vazquez, Eovaldi, and Martinez contributed to a championship in '18 and have been positive factors on the team. But , if the Sox can get young players with real potential , it's time to fold'em.

I said back to June that you could see this wasn't a championship level team. Then they played the AL East.

The SOX are fortunate they have Plawecki and a public offender to replace VAZ.

[vegasbob]

For example, take J.D.---NOW

Hey, I'm supposed to be the Henny Youngman around here. Anyway, it's 'please' not 'now.'

The sox hung vaz out to dry, knowing he was traded pending a physical they still sent him out in a sox uni to be blindsided with the questions regarding the trade by a reporter.

 

As Ron Burgandy would say "Stay classy, beantowne"

Angel Hernandez is giving some space to Nate

They could have finalized after the game. I do think Chaim is a sociopath with no empathy towards a team concept. He is one sick nerd in my book

[FredLynn]

Gotta hand it to Nate. He isn’t mailing it in even though his team made more brain dead plays. He’s pitching his butt off out there.

It was a chump move in my book

EO will never be accused of not working his ass off when he's on the mound.
