Bobby DeeLivers.

Cooper is a farcical sack of s*** who needs to go now !!

 

Dalbec , on the other hand, is our guy for another 50 Ab's

You do realize that Garrett Cooper portrayed Lou Gehrig in the film Pride Of The Yankems.

I have been following all the thread on the main forum where Cooper , based on his history , has been certifiedf a piece of the puzzle. Have any of his advocates actually watched his AB's over the past few weeks. His pitch selection and pitch recognition make think he truly is clueless. Not a freaking chance that this guy can still hit at the MLB level. Beyond awful. Almost Gruesome like.

 

I would feel better if Breslow Yank'ed him

Hoping Crawford does not go ballistic here, beyond the tie run already in.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No matter what; Kutter is still a far cry from the worst Crawford who ever played for the SOX.

MLB has to replace the enlarged bases with mattresses.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?

As a SOX fan, if an 8 oz glass has 4 oz of alcohol, it's half-empty.

Crawford sort of coming into his own recently. That was a layup center cut to Albies

 

17 runs ( E/UE) allowed in last 15 innings

Westbrooks OBP is lights out. He has 1 official AB but been on base 3 times by 3 different ways

That'll mess up an ERA that started out at under 2.00.

Can't wait until 2026(if I'm still alive) when all those high school draftees begin playing for the SOX.

They don't call you notin for nothing. Of course, I was referring to Karl. Sticking with the first letter 'K.'

Tall Dlabec may have had a 5% chance to reach that HR,.....if he could have tracked its path a little better. First time starting in RF in Fenway does present some problems

I just wonder if Abreu will get his job back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's a few guys in this SOX line-up who should seriously consider a change in their professions while they're still fairly young. Edited June 5, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Btw, does Bobby D have an unlimited amount of options? I'm guessing Bobby must know every blade of grass from traveling between Boston and Woo.

Does he drive or take the train? Curious minds want to know.

Devers hustling to first like always.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Many on this forum had the SOX finishing under .500, and that was even before all the injuries. So, really, there's no sensible reason to be upset. It is what it has been for quite a while.

 

Btw, over the last 3 years after 60 games:

 

2022--31-29

2023--30-30

2024--30-30

The Sox keep losing games at Fenway, not exactly flowing like dirty water . The injury bug which needed to be avoided has been horrendous. These lineups are really bad, below AAAA

 

Meanwhile, looks like Breslow got popped in the nose . Maybe the doctor was shutting down his sense of smell

Having this same line-up against the terrible White Sox may get the SOX a split, but I wouldn't put too much money on it.

The rumor I heard regarding Breslow's nose was JH was in the FO and asked someone to remind him of Devers' contract. When JH was informed, he had to punch the closest person and that person was Breslow.

Its got to the point where this is expected.

Injuries are both unpredictable and unintentional. However, it was noted by many that any success this season was reliant on minimal injuries, so the few legit MLB'ers on the roster could play the games. Since April 1, No Fools, the following have had either limited , 10 day Il's , 60 days or full seasons starting with Giolito, the moundsman . Giolito, Campbell, Mata (AAAA?), Devers ( knee/shoulder) , O'Neill, Yoshida, Story, Gruesome ( 2X),Abreu, Casas, Pivetta, Whitlock and possibly others. After all it is only a little over 1/3 into the season, long way to go. That is an atrocious record of minor and significant injuries to still be at 30-31. As in most dumpster fires, the lid will get hot enough and sag into the trash, igniting a bigger blaze.

 

Major compliments to Duran, Refsnyder (?), Wong, McGuire, Valdez, Rafaela and most of the pitching staff for hanging in there. However, I do think the expiration date on Crawford is glowing yellow.

 

The fact that Garrett Cooper is still on the 26 tells all. Not to mention Bobby D, a long time fan favorite with 9 lives, not to mention Jamie Westbrook, OBP king of the hill.

Refsnyder was injured at the start of the season.
