Man, that was ugly. Oh, not the game. I just changed the station and they were showing Rudy Giuliani.
-
Following their sad opening season road trip, since then they are 43-25 on the road.
-
In the words of Popeye, this is embarraskin.
-
Plus trading Betts and JD will also provide a good number of prospects, if the SOX decide to go the prospect route, which I doubt.
-
Of course finishing near the bottom for a couple of years is one way to restock the farm with high prospects.
-
If what you say is true(who knows?), then there's no point in chasing Cole. Just enjoy the excitement of challenging the O's for last place.
-
If, and it's a big IF, Sale and Price can come back healthy next season and stay healthy and they do acquire Cole, that would be a top starting staff. The SOX would definitely be competitive even w/o Betts and JD.
-
If the SOX can significantly lower their payroll during the winter, does anyone here think they might go after Cole?
-
The SOX will need a lotta Luck next season.
-
I'm assuming Sale, Price and EO will stay healthy thru ST.
-
I don't know about stronger, but definitely cheaper.
-
So the starting staff next year would begin with Sales, Price, E-rod, EO, and ?. Notice I said 'begin with.'
-
I believe they will also definitely keep E-rod.
-
I don't know Vegas; to lose 20 one would have to stay mostly healthy.
-
If WOJO pitched for the SOX, he couldn't pitch against the SOX. If you can't beat him, have him join ya.
-
The Ray's season salary is 60 million. That's only about 8 million more than what the SOX pay Sale and Price.
-
I believe WOJO shut the SOX out for 7 innings with 1 hit his last start against them. Like I said earlier, he owns us.
-
I've got no problem with the SOX trading Betts and JD, if the money saved allows them to go after a front line starter. As we all found out this year, offense with little pitching puts the SOX where they are right now. Btw, someone will have to replace Porcello and it might be beneficial to obtain someone better.
-
Besides the players the SOX can't get rid of (Sale, Price, and EO), I believe the SOX will definitely keep X-man, Devers, Beni, VAZ, Barnes, D-hern and Workman. It's a crapshoot concerning the others.
-
What a few of the SOX players lack in bat prowess they make up for with lack of speed.
-
Based on his 5.31ERA it doesn't appear he owns anyone else.
-
WOJO appears to own the SOX.
-
Having EO next year will be like Porcello never left.
-
Not all Nunez's are created equal. EO=Buyer's Remorse.

9/26 SOX @ Texas 2:05PM EST

Interesting stat. The 3 big starters for the Astros all have ERA's under 3 and all have WHIPS under 1.
