9/01 SOX @ Royals 8:10PM ET

I would be looking to trade Verdugo. Bloom could probably get a bucket of minor league players for him. That sounds like a deal that would be right up Bloom's ally.

 

True, but he'll only take HS draft choices.

[vegasbob]

Walter, like his WooSox teammate Barraclough, will be left out there as long as he can stand up. Saving the BP, don't ya know. Regrettably that is a reality. Everyone except Jansen is burned out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The one thing about Dugo is he's one of the few playing defense that shouldn't be a DH.

[jung]

Throwing it anywhere near the plate with Sal is just asking for it.

I doubt Martin is burned out because getting to the 8th inning is a bridge too far.

[jung]

Tell me with a straight face the Sox look like any kind of ML team at all.

[moonslav59]

i wouldn't be surprised. Bloom needs to draft another high school prospect that may or may not make it to the Bigs in the next 10 years.

 

You need to get over this.

 

If a HS shortstop is the best bet draft choice, I'd hope we draft 20 in a row.

 

That's the way it should be.

 

That's the way it is for every team for every draft.

[jung]

Like I said....really no excuse for it either. Sal is a chase machine late in his career. A foot off and Sal is still swinging at it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm getting the KC feed, so, at least, I don't have to deal with Youk.

is somebody going to teach them how to pitch?

You are missing some of Youk's best stuff. "Baseball is a wild game"

[moonslav59]

Our last pick was Teel from college.

 

10 of our top 12 picks were from college.

 

I hope you were just being sarcastic?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Since Martin was optioned to WOO the first time until yesterday, he had a 1.50ERA. Which tells me that what happens at WOO, stays at WOO.

Does it really matter, MOON?

[vegasbob]

This is the second embarassment game in a week with no telling how it ends, probably a sore arm for Walters . How would you like to have be on the broadcast for this team ?

I'd be fired within 5 minutes.

Verdugo positively shines compared to our other outfielders. If anything Yoshi looked panic stricken at that ball hit over his head. Did he think it was going to hit him in the head?

 

Duran is not a ML Ofer and Duval is not a ML CFer IMO.

[Jasonbay44]

Just got home

 

Will not be turning this s*** fest on. Are you f***ing kidding me?

[Old Red]

the Sox have 2 hits and no walks against a pitcher with record of 3-15, a -1.6 WAR, and a 6.51 ERA. unreal.

 

You sure this guy isn’t really 15-3, and a 1.56 ERA?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Of the 2 extra players each team is allowed to bring up on Sept. 1st one has to be a pitcher and the other a non-pitcher. Most of you probably knew this, but I just found that out earlier today.

[Jasonbay44]

Guess I’ll go watch Braves/Dodgers and college football. f*** this performance

[Tedballgame]

I am at Cardinals-Pirates game. Of starters for both teams, only one hitting over .280 and he was .282. Pathetic!!!

Yoshida looks like he is afraid of walls

Another reason expansion seems like such a great idea.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Witt, Jr is a very good ballplayer, but against the SOX pitching he's elite.

[Duran Is The Man]

the wife and i had made plans to go up to KC for all three Sox games this weekend. good thing fate intervened. i'd hate to know i paid good money to watch this s*** show.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Only if he pitched against the SOX 18 times.

But KC has great barbecue.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So, at this point going into 2024 Bello will be the SOX #1 starter. Some here have him projected as a #3, but that would only hold water if the SOX actually have a #1 and a #2.

 

Bloom's gotta lot of work to do and he's gonna need some serious money.

maybe Trevor Story will have a good 2024, or maybe not. Would not hesitate to move him for any talent on the mound
