C'mon man. May ERA 2.82 7.33 K/BB June ERA 2.73 10.00 K/BB. Please.

How 'bout those game logs for the first half of 2019? Over 100 innings in April-June! That kind of destroys the injured thing, no?

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Eflin is also under contract for 2025. We missed out on him twice. To me the Sox failure to get a guy like Eflin shows exactly how badly we're f***ing up the kind of opportunities we should be capitalizing on. -
A really freaking hard game.
-
Now do April-June 2019?
-
2 separate things?
-
He was on the field at the end of 2018. He got the last 3 outs of the year, as I recall. He would have had a medical exam before signing the extension, obviously. You're using a really loose definition of injured. There were injury concerns, that's a different thing.
-
At the end of 2018 Sale finished in the top 6 in Cy Young voting for the 7th year in a row!
-
The Sale extension was not a clear overpay at the time. $145 million, with a present value of $128 million because of deferrals, for one of the top pitchers in the game. It was much less than Price and some others got. Sale was healthy at the end of 2018 and obviously his medical exam didn't turn up anything serious. He pitched 147 innings in 2019. The injury concerns were real, but can we please stick to the facts?
-
Sale and Bogaerts that is. And Sale was not injured at the end of 2018.
-
Withdrawn. The rest of what I said was the important part.
-
If Sale was having a great year with us his vesting option would likely kick in and most people would be happy about it. A few would still want us to Sell High of course.
-
-
Yes. In isolation trading Sale could have made sense. But in the totality of the moves they made, it didn't. We needed a significant upgrade. Instead what we got was swapping Sale for Giolito. What we got was more of the same willful negligence we've seen for several years now.
-
The thing is they did the exact same crap last year when Story got hurt. Instead of signing an actual defensive SS they tried Kike. This year they've tried Rafaela, who clearly belongs in CF just like Kike, and a bunch of other guys. It's deja vu all over again.

And this.

I said this on Jan. 4.

I was in favor on December 30, 2023, because at that time I assumed they would be making other moves to upgrade the rotation. I still believed the 'full throttle' ******** at that time. Plus I had heard a lot of glowing reviews about Grissom, who I knew very little about then.

I had no idea they tried trading him. Please share.
-
Yes sir, we can always get along without him somehow. We'll still field a team and play 162!
-
Are we going to COUNT ON Story for next year? The answer can only be yes or no. If the answer is no he must be traded for whatever you can get and eat as much money as necessary. This is how these things must work. It's all simple stuff, all black and white, man!
-
They gave Winckowski the ball with a 3 run lead. The defense f***ed up and then he f***ed up. There was also an injury to Sogard that impacted it. It was ugly, but it wasn't because of bad managerial moves.
