Can Philly prospect Marcus Sang get in that game? -
Massarotti is spelled with two S’s, because he spews out twice as much s*** as any other sports personality…
-
I add Price to that list. After 2019, the Sox still had roughly $300mill committed to those three, no cheap talent coming up, and their star players all approaching free agency…
-
Any player who could handle MLB for minimum wage made it that much easier to retain the elite talent. This is not a difficult concept. Keeping Manny Margot might mean no money spent keeping a more expensive OF. Keeping Moncada might mean no need for Mitch Moreland. The number of minimum wage rookies who played at all during that period is surprisingly low. In his 4 years, only like 9 position players saw as many as 10 plate appearances. And that number includes the aging non-prospect Bryce Brentz types…

Lol whoops I meant 1904 through 1911. In my defense, I was a lot younger then…

Oh I’m going there! Do you realize if the Sox do NOT win a Workd Series this year, this team will tie for the third longest title drought in the 122 year franchise history? This drought would be 5 seasons and counting, tying them with the drought from 2008 though 2012. Just 3 more years like this and they’ll tie the drought from 2004 through 2011. And then that just leaves that one singular bigger drought. We’re approaching historic bad streaks here!!
-
And their kids!! These guys can’t even spawn decent ball players!! Most of them look like Little Leaguers! Especially the 10-12 year olds!!
-
I’m fairly meh in Fernandez. But I would give him a chance over Lamet or Llovera again…
-
And now we haven’t won anything since twenty f***ing eighteen!!
-
We’ve seen one inning from Robertson…
-
He was going to struggle initially no matter what. But hopefully he mitigated that by staying down for his entire allowable rehab assignment…
-
I’d be surprised, too. As long as we don’t get another GM/CBO who immediately unloads the farm and bulks up the team with too many high-priced contracts that any chance of winning is short-lived and followed up with a prolonged period of extensive mediocrity with no hope except waiting for the contractual deadweight to expire…
-
Almost all that money is spent on Jansen and Martin. Are you counting Pivetta as a reliever?
-
Guerrero seemed like the closest above A ball who might prove immediately useful…
-
Don’t tell me you’re trying the deadline, only to come seat at the 11th hour with a player who, oh he wasn’t going to get DFAd within the month, was going to be non-tendered at the end of the year. I don’t want another GM trading away everything on the farm. But I’m ok with a GM dealing the occasional prospect for a helpful player. Bloom prefers horsing his farm and acting like a Flea Market GM…
-
If they’re going to have winter hot streak, some new pitching would help. Stop using Dinelson Lamet, Mauricio Llovera types. At this point, your best option is the farm system. Maybe Portland’s Luis Guerrero can help…
-
Then he’s not needed. Bloom hasn’t exactly mastered the art of talking to the public yet either…
-
So… not mvp. Probably Old Red. He’s always dropping some FO aQUOTE no one else bothered to listen to…
-
Awwww… the Sox losing made Old Red so happy he’s burst out into song…
-
So the win Monday was fake?
-
Like after 2019, when the Sox had still $300mill locked up on 11 seasons of Price, Eovaldi and Sale?
-
He had a good run from 2019-21, with a 3.54 FIP and a 3.50 K/BB. Problem was he pitched only one season worth of IP across that 2.4 season stretch. At this point, if he isn’t damaged, he soon will be. He’s just had too many injuries to last…
-
It’s also 3 pitchers larger than many of the previous bullpens..
-
He actually is more successful than most waiver wire scroungers. The problem is he doesn’t do anything else. And while Lamet and Robertson looked bad tonight, it’s a very small sample. Lamet in particular has had some very impressive stretches in his career. But he’s had so many injuries it’s impossible to know if he’s just having a bad day or pitching in pain…
-
I never listened to Kennedy. And I’m slowly learning Bloom talks more than he should…
