  1. And season ticket holders should send the same message to him…
  2. That would be incredibly stupid. This team was doing very well until the inexperienced starting pitching wore out and the lack of depth was exposed. And yet despite that, they’re still in the postseason hunt as September approaches. Why not fix what isn’t working now? Not like any of the top prospects fill their needs anyway. I see no reason for the procrastination…
  3. And yet the Bosox have still given up 60 fewer runs.
  4. That’s what Giolito probably is…
  5. So the Sox should dial back the search for pitching until a future Hall of Famer hits the market?
  6. Well they unload them, everyone freaks out…
  7. They do get the White Sox for 3 more games. KC and Minny are both done with them. Hopefully those are the Sox 3 needed wins. Might be easier if the AAA Sox shut down Crochet for the season by that time…
  8. Francis’ last 4 starts: 29IP, 32K 3BB 6H 0.62ERA That’s a helluva stretch for a 28yo career minor leaguer/depth starter.
  9. So you think the Sox should ignore significant injury histories when going all in for starting pitching? Jacob deGrom’s agent agrees.
  10. Bloom didn’t do a press briefing on scoring Abreu or Pham. He talked plenty about Hosmer…
  11. If your problem is pitching injuries, Shane Bieber is not a solution. Different story if your problem is an overabundance of healthy and talented pitchers. But sadly that’s not where the Sox are at right now…
  12. Except that Cooper was pulled off the waiver wire, whereas Hosmer was the Big Name acquisition at the trade deadline. And Cooper, a role player by trade, was a good player who struggled for 75 PA in Boston. Hosmer was a multimillion dollar player touted as one who “fell right into [Bloom’s] lap” as the big high profile acquisition set to salvage the 2022 season. All this despite the fact that Hosmer has sucked since 2017…
  13. They’re both on the Injured List. Except for Hill…
  14. Spend his $18mill on pitching? So another Giolito?
  15. Yoshida has a .847 OPS since April 16. He’s showing us he can hit. Why are oeople trying to offload him?
  16. I prefer a GM who tries and makes bad moves to one who just can’t pull any triggers ever. Breslow just been snakebit. He trades a 35yo pitcher who hasn’t been himself since he was 30, and the guy morphs in Sandy Koufax. He signs an innings eater who absolutely shows up and never misses a start, and the guy tears a ligament. He trades for two relievers who have done solid work for several years, and both flop, especially Garcia, who in every appearance gets hammered like a sorority girl on Jell-O shot night. But at least he doesn’t drag home a steaming pile of Eric Hosmer and try to tell me how lucky we are to have it…
  17. Like the Cubs…
  18. Was Sale a good pitcher? His last 5 years with Boston, he was 17-18 with a 4.16ERA and turned 35 this year.
  19. Sox should, but he also might not last until their claim. Hopefully they do the smart thing here.
  20. This one season might not be representative. Do some math from 2020-2023 first and see if you draw the same conclusion.
  21. It’s pretty much the best the Sox can get in a Story trade. Best move is, if Mayer is ready, move Story to 2b. And move in Grissom when he gets hurt.
  22. Trade Story (3 yes $80mill) for Kris Bryant (4 yrs $108mill) and you get your RHH power bat. Figure out later where he plsys
  23. I don’t think so, either, but I think he’s simply their best option. Especially since the Sox blatantly refuse to listen to me and repeatedly passed on Paul DeJong, which you just know was done out of spite.
  24. That’s why the Sox need to hold on to Mayer.
  25. Fielding percentage is a useless stat. The Sox could put Stephen Hawking at shortstop, and as long as he fielded all those grounders that he could get to (re: grounders hit right at him) his fielding percentage would stay at 1.000. Of course all ones he couldn’t get to - most of the, safe bet - would just be scored as hits…
