SoxAce Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm still on record in saying I'd much rather the Sox just give Carson Fulmer these innings over Nova and Santana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I‘ll leave this here before I turn off this game: Nicky Delmonico when healthy belongs on the big league roster. Sox kinda gave up on him in favor of Palka although Nicky‘s rookie season was way better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Crazy that they allowed a guy to give up 9 runs in 4 innings without even getting anyone up. How the hell can you keep this staff when the Sox want to be competitive? They don’t compete. Perfect manager/pitching coach to hunt for draft picks. They really gave up 5 runs in exchange for 3 outs. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just for the hell of it, I looked up Tyler Danish’s numbers in AAA Tacoma. 0-4, 20.25 ERA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox prefer mediocre vets over fringy prospects. Sometimes you can strike gold with these, but the Sox never even try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I don’t know why anyone would go to bat not fully armored up, but against Fulmer, it’s a must. You let him throw 125 innings he probably sets a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not give them to Jordan Stephens...he is on the 40 man roster, let's see what he can do against MLB talent and if he stinks, move on or move him back to AAA. Nova can't even give innings to spare the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Nicky Delmonico also makes me hopeful for Eloy in a way. Nicky was a disaster in the OF, but became a passable defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone realizes that somehow, Nova is going to go to either San Diego or Oakland next year on a minor league deal with a ST invite, make their rotation out of spring training, and throw the best season of his career, like 160+ innings with an ERA around 4 or maybe a bit under, right?
