  1. I doubt it. Cheap starters are the holy grail for these guys.
  2. To me it's taking things a wee bit literally to think Max truly meant Breslow intentionally committed sabotage on his team...
  3. I'm sure he was consulted, but I'm picturing a committee. There might even be a Whitlock Committee...
  4. Exaggeration is forbidden here. I think you've been told that a million times.
  5. Makes you think it just might be an "organization decision" rather than a "CBO decision".
  6. Or the Suck List.
  7. The starting pitching hasn't been that great either. Other than the rotation, bullpen and defense, though, we're in great shape.
  8. 2025 will be another year of assessing what they have!
  9. Don't rule out the possibility they just do another Richards/Kluber type signing to replace Pivetta and call it a day with the rotation. Giolito and Whitlock will be the big additions!
  10. They are hyping those 3 so much they just might be off limits.
  11. Just to be a miserable prick I'm going to drop the threshold to 4 runs. In their last 30 games, the Sox have allowed less than 4 runs a grand total of 4 times.
  12. I wouldn't say Breslow sabotaged the pitching, but at this point he hasn't done much to make it better, including with the deadline acquisitions of Garcia and Sims.
  13. Half the reason Brock had to step in was when he saw a whole string of August game threads showing the month as "7".
  14. Yeah, his defense will be good as always, and his offense will probably be horrific, especially with such a coat of rust on it.
  15. Right. That's my essential point. And if they had made another significant addition besides Giolito I wouldn't be as critical of this. But they didn't. And that's what makes this look so unforgivably stupid in retrospect.
  16. The numbers say no.
  17. It'd be nice, but probably not impactful.
  18. That half and half thing started in golf. It is indeed incredibly annoying. I don't think it's too good for the eyes, either.
  19. Bill Parcells would disagree that we've shown we're a better team than the Royals.
  20. And I dispute that it was about "trusting" or "counting on" him. With a lot of players, especially pitchers now, the reality is you're just hoping for the best. The fact is that Craig rolled the dice when he didn't have to. It was a gamble. I'll always wonder if this was really Craig's idea or if the push for it came from elsewhere, or just from a desperate need to cut payroll somewhere. As for Grissom being an instant answer to our issues at 2B, we're talking about a kid who had a minus WAR in limited action in 2023. Not exactly a sure thing!
  21. It was a bizarro offseason in the PR department for the Sox, I don't think anyone can dispute that.
