8/04 Jays @ SOX

[vegasbob]

Why do our 1Bmen look okay on D in the minors but suck with the big club?

 

I'm waiting for the first poster to say, "We should have traded Paxton."

 

We should have traded Paxton, Duvall and Arroyo. I imagine there was close to no market nor value in any of them. Wisely Bloom kept them.

[wyo-sox]

There is really zero way for a fan to say we should have, or shouldn't have, traded anyone- without knowing what options were being offered for those trades.

[d-money]

This offense is still struggling to put hits together.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duvall failed to get there and make a good play, then sort of short armed his reach. Then he fouled out with 2 men on.

 

Trade his ass. Oops, too late.

Tim Wakefield and Youk have the dumbest conversations

Pretty sure there were no offers for Arroyo.

Unlike classic rock radio.

Kind of like SEINFELD w/o the humor.

[FredLynn]

Pretty sure there were no offers for Arroyo.

 

Hard to imagine no market for Paxton though

[Jasonbay44]

Holy s*** Paxton looks awful

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vegas, c'mon, there would have been good market value for both Duvall and especially Paxton.

[vegasbob]

Has Connor Wong for all his other positive attributes ever actually hit a slider away ? But he will chase them all day. keep the bat on your shoulder Connor until it is a FB count.

Therefore, Fire Bloom ! That's why it is an extensive thread of its own. If there was the right mix of younger controllable AAA'ers or MLb'ers on a loaded team, I imagine Bloom might have gone for it.

 

Bloom declared the team "underdogs" without acknowledging his role in making that true.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran is so fun

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When Duran runs at full speed, the clock goes back a minute.

[Jasonbay44]

Verdugo with awful AB tonight

[d-money]

Lousy lousy hitting.

[Jasonbay44]

This Llovera guy seems pretty s***** too

[vegasbob]

LLovera is an impressive sort

[FredLynn]

LLovera is an impressive sort

 

Compared to what?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't question who Cora brings in for relief anymore. It's a 'losing' proposition.

[Jasonbay44]

Compared to what?

 

Compared to Ort, Brasier and Kluber he’s a cy young candidate

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Compared to Ort, Brasier and Kluber he’s a cy young candidate

 

Don't forget Bleier.

[FredLynn]

Well there’s always tomorrow I guess

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At this point I just want to see Duran playing the rest of the season against both RH's and LH's.

[Jasonbay44]

Don't forget Bleier.

 

Or Jacob Faria, that racist guy we started in Cleveland, Joe Jacques, Justin Garza and Tayler Scott!

[Jasonbay44]

f*** yeah! Joe Jacques is warming up!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well there’s always tomorrow I guess

 

If there isn't, we're all screwed.

[FredLynn]

Don't forget Bleier.

 

And Jaques

[redsoxrules]

Llovera is garbage. Nice move bloom
