    But a 20-40 stretch is not the same as a 54-108 record. A 20-40 "season" this year is just a bad start in other years. The 2005 Astros, for example, started out 15-30 (.333) and were 25-35 after 60 games. They also went on to lose the World Series that year. And bear in mind, the Sox have no Sale and no ERod. If those two pitchers are in the rotation, is this a 20-40 team?

    The only question is - can they fit a $6mill pitcher on the team and still reset? They can and likely will clear some salary in August as, let’s face it, they’re sellers. (Foltynewicz has one arbitration year left, so he’s not likely traded.). Trading Bradley would certainly allow Foltynewicz to fit. But other trade candidates like Workman ($3.5 mill) and Pillar ($4mill) don’t provide as much relief. And those are the Sox big likely trade chips....

    Not sure why you expected more from the NFL. The NCAA schools at least have other means for making money. Tuition. Donations from alumni. If the NFL is not playing football, what else do they have?

    Not likely. He was handed a mess and told to cut salary. He did that. He was not expected to win this season..

    Well, giving more IP to Dylan Covey, Austin Bruce, Phillips Valdez, Josh Osich, and Colten Brewer than Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier and Brandon Workman, for starters...

    My questions for 2020 1. Is this the worst Red Sox pitching staff ever assembled? Not just in Boston, but even counting Pawtucket Red Sox. It is easily the worst MLB staff I’ve ever seen, and it’s competitive with AAA staffs. 2. Is Roenicke overtly tanking or is he just really stupid? Or both? He actually was a good manager in Milwaukee, so I think he might want to tone done his tanking efforts. It’s getting too obvious. Am I wrong here?

    You are correct, if you throw enough s*** against the wall, hoping some will stick, you not only get a s***-covered wall, but a mess on the floor as well. Foltynewicz makes $6.425mill this year and any claiming team is on the hook for all of it. (Now if he clears waivers....) The money might be a factor for the Sox. Not sure they can fit him into the budget..,

    Absolutely. Not sure if the Sox will be able to get a claim on. But you don’t pass on Foltyniewicz after claiming Robert Stock and Stephen Gonscalves...

    They should have stopped doing that in 1985....

    That would be my guess. With most viral diseases, there is an “incubation period” where the virus is replicating like mad in your body and the antibodies have not yet built up to full force to combat it. What I have been wondering is why there is no dead virus vaccine like we use to combat the flu by kick starting antibody production so that your body is fully prepared once there is an actual infection..,.

    As I have my doubts about the Sox involvement, I will not mind if the postseason doesn’t happen..,

    While Stack was in that movie, technically it was Lloyd Bridges who picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue...

    Bradley and Workman make sense to trade. Why would anyone want to trade Benintendi?
  15. notin
    Agreed. It’s been 3 games. Ten years from now, 95% of the players active today will be out of MLB. No one knows the future that far away...

    I suppose with no fans and a short season, this really is a prime opportunity for a good tank..,

    It’s tougher when you just can’t pitch any more. He might not be long for the closer job. Jeurys Familia was lights out in his exhibition games...

    Of course if they hadn’t traded him, the decision to keep him in the face of a season with a strong possibility of no baseball would have looked a tad different...

    And while he only has one start, adding Bogaerts to these two gives the Sox three very key hitters who are a combined 1 for 24 with 13 strikeouts. They’re not even unlucky so far. They’re not putting the ball in play at all. I know it’s just two games, but these were also games started by Tommy Milone and a rebuilt Alex Cobb...

    Two key players are ice cold. Benintendi and Devers are a combined 0 for 18 with 9 strikeouts...

    In a short season, might see the Hot Bat. Right now, that means Peraza. (Bradley arguments accepted.)
