If Kluber and Yoshida both continue to suck, that pretty much has to be it for Bloom, seriously. The guy seems to be throwing darts, and too often missing the board completely.
Of course it may well be that our big starting pitching acquisition Kluber is fully washed up, and yet another blunder by Bloom. Certainly can't rule that out. Various troubling scenarios in play.
2023 Sox record in Wong starts: 7-4
2023 Sox record in McGuire starts: 2-6
McGuire has now started 34 games for the Sox. In those games we've given up 224 runs - 6.59 per game.
Here is the distribution:
1-1
3-9
4-3
5-3
6-2
7-2
8-4
9-3
10-3
12-1
13-1
14-1
15-1
So in 34 games, we've given up less than 3 runs exactly once. Double figures 7 times. 8 runs or more 14 times.
Another factor that has to be taken into account is the huge amount of money that comes from fans who watch the games on cable TV, computers and portable devices...
