  1. Oh he could easily be better. Mariano was a pretty weak starting pitcher...
  2. If he is a one inning pitcher for the next 4 years, it isn’t the worst thing ever. But the Sox will need to get some actual starting pitching from somewhere else...
  3. Yes that is the Classic Sox Fan Retort. Complain about how bad a player is when he is here, but then complain about him playing elsewhere as well. Of course the answer about why we can’t get players like Shaw is actually really simple; we couldn’t afford them because we got players like Price, Sale and Eovaldi...
  4. Please don’t. I did my time...
  5. Armchair non-doctoring here. Maybe Sale’s medical opinion isn’t what we think it is?
  6. Disguise?
  7. It will be a career year if the Manfred Missile is still being used. Vaz has had one decent year at the plate. He’s never had an OPS of .800 and been above .700 as many times as he’s been below .600. I like him as a defensive catcher, but defensive catchers who can’t hit are plentiful. And Vaz doesn’t really hit. I think the main reason Bloom hasn’t traded him is the demand might not be what many think it is...
  8. I heard he broke it beating on a trash can....
  9. Sox did extend Bogaerts. Betts was just not as open. The Sox offered him a better deal than Yelich got...
  10. I will admit, many have recommended I get a rectal cephaloectomy. Have jacko explain what that is
  11. Well they did shut him down in the second half. But really, it’s very easy to commit other people to surgery. Even as common as it is, TJ surgery guarantees nothing and very often has a short time before a second one is needed...
  12. And the team that traded him is accountable for the other part, which might be why it’s different with Castillo....
  13. Bloom liked him so much, he traded him to San Diego back when Myers was still making league minimum...
  14. Buchholz’ non-signing seems to indicate the Sox are passing on Buchholz...
  15. Older guys? Verlander is a year older than Buchholz...
  16. Sale has Corona-elbow!?!?
  17. He may opt out just to try and get a 3 or 4 year deal to prolong his career. He might have reached the point where years trump money...
  18. Porcello has massive value in a rebuild. His IP helps reduce the workload for younger pitchers...
  19. Buchholz and Will Middlebrooks crush your theory...
  20. The Foreign Substance Theory Or... Justin Verlander found another way to have the 3 lowest WHIPs of his career at ages 34, 35 and 36. Can you name another pitcher ever to do that? Closest I found was Charlie Morton, who had his 3 lowest WHIPs at ages 33, 34 and 35. Guess what else Verlander and Morton had in common at those ages? (Ok, Morton was on Tampa at age 35. But where did he learn this?)
  21. There’s still time...
  22. Totally. But one that is lost amidst all the discussion of the Sox pitching issues...
  23. I didn’t like the title
  24. ... and the Price cut
