I think that's harsh. He's young there's a lot of room to grow. Not comparing the 2 but I still remember that a rookie Dylan cease could not be trusted to pitch in game 3 of the playoffs. People wanted him gone too at that point and thought he would amount to nothing.

Took heat? The Sox just sent Schultz down today. They've destroyed the kid. Pessimistic take lol. Its what happened and what was said by the man himself. That somehow makes me a pessismist. Im sorry you cant come to grips with that. This place has become intolerable.

What appeal was he trying to execute?

Zero chance. He looked like a confused moron, not like some savant gaming the system. Occams razor is something people have a hard time accepting.

Soxtalk presents completely plausible scenario where manager takes heat for players and finds a clever way to buy time for his pitcher to warm up. Know-it-all shits on it and takes the pessimistic view every time.

The “f*** up” makes zero sense for several reasons. He would never admit he gamed the system, but it was well played.

Yeah you’re gonna need to wait two more years for that confirmation

Guy screws up like a dope. Admits he fucked up on live TV. Soxtalk refuses to accept the reality.

I think they just needed a couple fresh arms more than anything. Fingers crossed these two hit the ground running.

Sending Schultz down reveals a lot.

Not only would it have been incredibly odd for him to come out to talk to Noah that early, but that Bove just let him walk out there is kind of telling, too. That important game was about to get away from us in the top of the 1st…if ever there was a perfect time to “accidentally” force your flailing starter out of the game with no one warm in the pen, that was it. ETA…if he forgot Bove had already gone out there, why didn’t he send Bove out again? Have we ever seen Will make the first mound visit of a ballgame, much less in the first?

Got ourselves a little game thread controversy. Bumping the one that was created first.

Occams Razor. He forgot about the 1st one.

He was always living on the edge as a command based arm with pretty below average stuff. Rays were able to maximize his outcomes, but we're talking about a guy with a career FIP near 4.7 whose stuff has taken another step back. He's always given up a bunch of bombs and this year is no different, and he's actually giving up even more flyballs, with a lot of hard contact. Not a good combo.

Cant pass the torch of a winning game thread so passing the torch in itself is committing to the loss.

I am confirmed in my resolve that Schultz wont be in baseball in 2 years. What a failure.

If you want them to add a quality pitcher for next head, you better hope Carlson raises his stock. Unfortunately outside of Bonemer and the recent draft class, everyone’s trade value has tanked.

They wanted an “ace” and knew they weren’t going to sign one in free agency.

That would be disappointing.

Technically, @DoUEvenShift passed the torch before it was an official loss.

Castillo is their big ticket item for next year

It’s not like this was not plan. Clearly they have been preparing for this move for the past month. These boys are not going to be in high leverage situations at least right away. They are replacing dudes like Murphy who have not got any guys out in the last month. Our high leverage boys have been great all year.

If an outfielder doesn’t know how many outs there are, tosses the ball to a fan with two outs and a runner scores, do you expect that outfielder to get benched for the rest of the game? If you make an inexcusable mistake at work, are there are always zero repercussions?

Ah yes the torch passed from a LOSER game thread. Smh
