I only asked because trading a proven starter like Paxton for a pitching prospect sounds like you're willing to wait for a while.
-
This is the 2nd game recently where Cora has had to bring in the closer after having a significant lead in the 9th.
-
If Masa can get there, he will catch it.
-
Which distant year in the future are you expecting the SOX to be WS contenders. I'd like to live long enough to see another championship.
-
They've had a problem with clean-up relievers, which begs the question "how bad really is the pitching on the farm?"
-
Anyone here know the status of Schreiber?
-
I'm not dwelling on Paxton's past history of injuries. Since he's been back, he's appeared to be healthy. When you mention durability, you should be more concerned with Whitlock.
-
I believe the FO trying to obtain an average or above starting pitcher and a back-up catcher before the TDL should be the priority. They really don't have enough trade value to expect to get much more w/o trading some of their better prospects.
-
If the SOX are still in the PO hunt by the TDL, Bloom will have to find a starter. Hopefully, he can find one before the TDL. These two BP starts every 5 games really sux. I think the SOX can maintain a one BP start every 5 days until one of their starters gets healthy. I don't want to see Pivetta starting because he's been great right where he is. Why f**k with success?
-
I believe the FO will extend Paxton. There's no sensible reason not to. Of course, this is entirely based that he has no further arm issues this season.
-
If the SOX trade Paxton, they'd better get a better starter for him. That may be very difficult to accomplish.
-
SOX are going HR crazy.
-
Paxton is 4 years younger than Scherzer and 6 years younger than Verlander. Scherzer and Verlander are each getting 43 mil next season. I doubt the SOX will have to pay Paxton 43 mil/year. Plus the fact that Paxton is pitching better than either this year.
-
Why not? It ain't like there's a ton of pitching at the farm, as usual.
-
Ron Darling's response to that caught liner "Hmm." He's an insufferable little twerp.
-
Nice comeback start from Paxton tonight. The guy's just a talented pitcher.
-
The corner infielders ideally should be the power guys; at least the SOX got that one right.
-
Productive out by Dugo. Got to find something positive lately.
-
Speaking of HR or nothing, may I introduce Peter Alonzo.
-
Earl Weaver was a big fan of 3-run homers. Probably not so big a fan of 3 one-run homers.
-
Chang reminds me of a smaller version of Mark Reynolds.
-
Chang goes clang. HR or nothing.
-
Expansion team material.
-
Cora to Kike: "It's OK son. We'll still go for ice cream after the game."
-
JH isn't entirely blameless, but who's gonna fire him?
