  1. I rather have G Cole than Betts this year.
  2. I'm in your camp on that issue.....I really trust Bloom to get the job done for us....
  3. It's basically supported by fans of other teams.
  4. Jackie Bradley Jr. The 31-year-old Bradley is in the midst of his worst offensive season. He is batting .152 with a .231 on-base percentage, .268 slugging percentage, .498 OPS, five homers, four doubles, two triples, 16 RBIs and 18 runs in 61 games for the Brewers. Baseball-Reference has him at -0.3 in WAR. He signed a two-year, $24-million contract with Milwaukee in early March. Some wanted him to sign with the Sox. We dodged a bullet.
  5. Sox has used only one other starting pitcher, Houck twice, outside their 5 starters this year. White Sox is next with 4 games started by pitchers outside of their top 5. 5 other teams including Yankees, Cubs and the Orioles have 7 games started by pitchers outside their top 5. We've been healthy other than E Rod skipping a turn at beginning of the year. (We used 16 starters in 60 game, 2020 season)
  6. So the Pesky Rays Since May 1st, Rays had lost back to back games only 3 times before last night, losing for third straight time. Their longest losing streak this year is 4 which came in early April. They had a 11 game winning streak imbedded during their 16-1 run to take over AL East. But they're now only 1/2 game ahead of Sox. It's fun times.
  7. As well as Rays have played, we're now only half game back. It'll be interesting to watch our starters pitch going into the All Star break. Is this a trend or bump on the road?
  8. That was in jest. Please don't take me seriously. I'm here to entertain myself.
  9. It's hard to believe hardly anyone COMPLETES seven innings.
  10. Schedule Day off today 3 @ Kansas City Day off 3 @ Rays 3 vs Yanks 4 vs Kansas City 3 @ A's 3 @ Angels Day Off 3 vs Phillies 3 Days Off for All Star Game We'll have another 16 game stretch without any day off before the All Star break. We have 22 games to All Star break. We'll need an extra starter during that 16 game stretch. Kansas City is 1-9 the last 10 games. We need to pound them while they're down. We play them 7 times.
  11. As Cora said, we just went through a tough stretch playing 17 games in 17 days going 10-7. We're at season best 15 games above .500 as we head to Kansas City. Rays maybe reeling a bit with the loss of their ace. They finally lost a series against the White Sox. Despite our pitching woes, we have a shot to get to 17 games above .500 when we come home to face the Yankees. But if we don't hit, we're toast.
  12. Bazardo was placed on IL on 5/23 with right lat strain. Is there a doctor in the house? Is this serious? Workman needs to throw strikes. He walked a batter and was hit hard twice last night, luckily one went to Xander. Really bummed about Brasier. Isn't he the one with toe issues to start and then gets hit in the head....not sure how long it'll take him to recover.
  13. Josh Taylor's monthly WHIP is 2.46 (April), 0.88 (May) and 0.67 (June). But I think you already knew that. Barnes 0.78, Whitlock 1.21, Eovaldi 1.23, Ottavino 1.29, Pivetta 1.31, Sawamura 1.32, Valdez 1.37. Just bat Dalbec 8th in the batting order and he'll be fine. lol Sox .738, Yankees .701, Houston .700. Only spot we're leading the AL.
  14. Hey Moon, I'd figure you and Kimmi have Theo's cell # on your phone. Can you talk to him? Isn't he working for major league baseball to make the game better? (just kidding about the phone #).
  15. Umpire needs help behind the plate. There were so many missed calls last night, I lost track of which team benefitted the most. Sox I thought got the better end of it. There was a pitch right down the middle that was called ball. Braves pitcher couldn't believe it. He just walked around a bit in a daze. I'm guessing there are 230 pitches thrown in any game. It's asking too much from the ump to be perfect. Last night's 9 inning game went 4 freaking hours. No way you can stay sharp for 4 hours calling balls and strikes. Need a solution.
  16. The guy that all of you worry about being overused leads the pen in innings pitched. I guess I should just be thankful that our starting five does not miss a turn. Couple of them are turning into "Opener".
  17. Latest mock draft has Leiter dropping to Sox. Do you go with a 6-1, 205 kid or pick his teammate who is 6-5, 245 lbs?
  18. This team really needs a day off.
  19. Robo Ump needed....the ump just made up calls throughout the game.
  20. Wow, after 4 hrs, you get that running blunder by a Brave. I'd be so pissed. Good for us though.
  21. You do know that our 8th batters are ranked #1 OPS in that hitting slot in AL. And Dalbec leads the way.
  22. Was it Jim Kaat of Twins who used to pitch 2 hour games?
  23. We'll be 15 games above .500 for first time this year with a win.
  24. 3 run lead....walk the first hitter.....
