The only real point is, even a diminished and half-healthy Sale was better than the other crap we have! I hated the Giolito signing too, as you know. I said I'd puke if they did it.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Bellhorn04 replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Craig will get his 4 years like all the others. Henry is a fair man. -
They're damned if they do nothing about the rotation, and damned if they don't do anything!
-
Sale had a 2.1 fWAR last year BTW. The second highest fWAR in the Sox 2024 rotation is Crawford at 1.5.
-
If it was only about Sale your post might have a point.
-
But at what point do the folks complaining about the new rules become the whiny bitches?

Bailey: "Yeah, but at least they're not off s***** four-seam fastballs!"

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Hard to say. Also hard to say whether Henry even cares what the fans think any more. He told us we all suffer from unrealistic expectations. At this point it sure looks like the only things that matter to Henry are the operating profit and the franchise value. -
The ERA does get worse every month.
-
We may get the answer to that over the next 2 games, Vegas.

Imanaga is a clear-cut case of how stupid the Sox have become about signing pitchers. The Cubs got him for an EXTREMELY reasonable 4/53 guarantee. The Sox were reportedly very interested but would not go past 2 guaranteed years. It's kind of mind-boggling at this point.

I think JH now has a sign in his office that says "Yes, I will consider your big contract proposal. Just make sure it's not a f***ing pitcher!" -
A brutal stretch for the AL wild card teams
Bellhorn04 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
KC does have a brutal schedule. From Aug 23 to Sept 4 they play 14 games in 13 days - 7 vs Cle, 4 vs Hou, 3 vs Phil. Their pitching is in much better shape than ours, however. -
I think we should be prepared for another winter of promises and lies on their part, disappointment and confusion on ours.
-
In retrospect, we had yet another incredibly useless offseason with our rotation. Some of it was bad luck, but the cold fact is that Breslow's moves only made it worse.
-
The Criswell as savior thing might also have to be re-thought. Rich Hill might have to be pressed into service pronto. Time for him to join the fun.
-
All those thoughts about Breslow and Bailey expertly rebuilding and re-calibrating our pitching just might have to be put on hold.
-
After the great start, we're now 5th worst in MLB in runs allowed per game! Better only than the Rockies, White Sox, Marlins and Angels. It's almost funny. Almost.
-
Fire Bailey? We had the best pitching in April, and we've had the worst since.
-
Played vastly better D than any of our other infielders.
-
One Sale Redux coming up!
-
His defense has been pretty damn good when he's played, no? Plus he seemed to be going the extra mile in the offseason with his camps or whatever he was doing.
-
I've always been a Sale Pollyanna through all the injuries. I stayed a Pollyanna because I thought his ability was still largely intact and his attitude seemed solid. I feel the same about Story now. I don't want him traded either.
-
Thunder actually said he was going to be at the games tonight and tomorrow night.
-
Happy, yes. Somewhat surprised at the level he's pitching at, sure. Totally surprised? Obviously not, or they wouldn't have made the deal.
