mharkins Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Wow… Burger’s double play ball had an exit velocity of 113 mph! Hopefully, Giolito can deliver a strong start in tomorrow’s rubber game of series. While his last start against Detroit was solid, Lucas’ other two starts against the Tigers (this season) were mediocre, resulting in losses.

In a perfect world, Keuchel is the one with an expiring contract, and Lynn/Rodon have multiple years left. Oh well, organization’s still in a great spot all things considered.

Blackout Friday Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Eduardo Escobar not in starting lineup. Gallo too.

oldsox Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sox rookies went 1-16, pitching not so hot, one really bad defensive play. Adds up to a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no. May have got overexcited with what I did hear, and that’s my bad. Still optimistic things will happen, just maybe in a slower timeline than I thought. Basically just heard they’re being very aggressive with who they’re willing to part with and want to acquire/move quickly, but obviously hasn’t played out that way. Lesson learned for me. I don’t want to come across like that notcishek guy so I’m just gonna stay out of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharkins Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Relievers are unpredictable (and tenuous) from one year to the next. The best (one can hope for) is to have enough quality arms and pitching depth (in the system and MLB pen) to mix and match relievers throughout the 162 game season and playoffs. Most clubs (including top contenders) have to manage these realities throughout the course of the season. I fully expect Hahn and company to add 1-2 (solid to good) relief pitchers at (or before) the July 31st trade deadline to enhance their relief corps arsenal. Additionally, ever evolving bullpen roles will likely sort themselves out as the season progresses. Edited July 3, 2021 by mharkins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWokeUpLikeThis Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Keuchel went on a bit of a monologue postgame about OF’ers having to play back in Detroit’s park and how it’s not fair to pitchers working their butt off. Ozzie in the studio is peeved. Says after every outing the guy has an excuse about something—“they left me in too long”, “they didn’t take me out soon enough”, “the outfielders are too deep”, etc. Keuchel is the one player on this team I really get the sense Ozzie doesn’t care for.

He’s always whining and just generally comes off as me-me-me-me. A bad moment or two could be written off but it’s a pattern with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
