    I do not think we match up well with San Diego as a trading partner.

    Command and control seems to have been sacrificed for velocity in today’s game!!! yet the best pitchers in today’s game have the ability to locate pitchers when they need to!!! I think it is why hicks will always be a 6th inning pitcher

    The sox have alcala throwing a lot of curve balls since he came to us!!! Seems to be the secret sauce to his success with us
  4. Larry Cook
    The sox - Phillies games 1 and 3 were incredible
  5. Larry Cook
    Anybody heard any rumors about the Sox talking to the reds about Abbott?????

    Mullins with 4 innings. 3 hits. 1 earned run. 2 walks and 7 strike outs
  7. Larry Cook
    Harrison with 6 innings and 3 hits. 1 earned run. One walk and 5 strike outs
  8. Larry Cook
    Early went 5.2 innings. 3 hits. 1 earned run on a tater, zero walks and 6 strike outs. 18 swing and misses on 73 pitches. Wow!!!!
  9. Larry Cook
    I hope bres-slow and desperate Dave are talking!!!!
  10. Larry Cook
    Keller is at best a good replacement for Fitts in the rotation!! can bres-slow put together a strong enough package to pry gore away from Washington???
  11. Larry Cook
    Tolle is a one pitch pitcher from what I have seen. The secondaries are inconsistent at this point!!! I think the Sox will put him on the same program as early. After he settles in to the game, the second time through the lineup, he throws a ton of secondary stuff

    This would be my priority list also

    Is lugo a free agent at the end of this season???
  15. Larry Cook
    This offseason, with 1 trade and 1 free agent signing, our 2026 starting rotation could be: 1.) crochet 2.) skenes 3.) cease 4.) bello 5.) dobbins houck, uberstine, drohan, tolle and early as depth!!!!
  16. Larry Cook
    Tolle went 4 innings today. He gave up 3 hits and one of the hits was a tater. He walked 1, gave up 2 earned run and struck out 5. He had 15 swing and misses on only 64 pitches!!!
  17. Larry Cook
    Haha!!! I would love to see the agent’s face when he finds out the team blocked his number

    With Valera and Peaz going to the 60 dl, and the 60 day dl is already almost full with mostly pitchers, I think I see why hang’em Chaim was stockpiling only bats on our system!!! pitching is fragile and needing almost 2 years to recover from UCl surgery is brutal on a farm system But I do think bres-slow needs to balance his drafting going forward!! Or soon we will be position player deficient!! (Think our current catching situation in the minors! although signing quality free agent hitters is easier than quality free agent pitchers

    I would slide eyanson over Sandlin
  20. Larry Cook
    Valera is 19! No one knows if he develops into a major leaguer! He has better stuff and control than winkleman, but that is not a guarantee!! When Valera is pitching well, he is amazing!!! witherspoon is a wait until 2026 decision. He should start in Greenville and be in Portland by June!!! I watched Witherspoon go toe to toe with Kade Anderson this past season and he kept the lsu hitters off balance for a while, but eventually the relentless lsu line up ate him up!!! But I was super impressed by the kid at his fight and determination in that game!!!
  21. Larry Cook
    The Red Sox should expect a call from houck’s agent once an hour until this is resolved
  22. Larry Cook
    I do not think that our farm system failed! I think first and third were neglected by hang’em Chaim’s intense focus on middle infielders! if yorke had developed, he would be the starting 2B, but unfortunately for us, yorke never developed into the player hang’em Chaim thought he was. This caused bres-slow to rush Campbell to Boston, after a putrid spring and in hindsight that was a poor decision!!! sadly, I think all 6 position players we took in the 2025 draft were middle infielders or outfielders!!!!
  23. Larry Cook
    I for one am not sold on Tolle yet!! The velocity on the fastball is insane and the low arm angle gives it a deception and wicked movement that hitters cannot seem to pick up!!! This is a great pitch to get hitters out!!! But after you get past the fastball, can he get consistent strikes with the secondary pitches??? the jury is still out for me!!
  24. Larry Cook
    Valera and Clarke and pre injury perales have amazing stuff!!! Witherspoon has a funky delivery. Should be interesting to see if the Sox tinker with it
  25. Larry Cook
    Texas is a game under .500 and technically still in the wild card race, but they have 2 pitchers I think we need, eovaldi and Martin!! would bres-slow be able to put together an offer that Texas would take??? crochet eovaldi giolita bello fitts beuhler houck
