Sean Burke vs Hunter Brown. Easy W.

I wouldn’t view any of these as long-term decisions except for Taylor, who they feel from a bio-metrics standpoint is better suited for relief. At this point, there is no real reason to waste time ramping-up McDougal when he can help the major league bullpen this year and has already gotten up to 113 innings just a year ago. I think he can easily revert back to starting next year and not miss a beat. We saw Crochet make a much bigger leap in 2024. Hagen is a different matter. I’d be trying to stretch him out and seeing if he can show more consistency command & stuff-wise as a SP. I’m a little concerned that he can’t handle starting based on what we’ve seen this year, but I’d prefer giving it more time before settling on a bullpen role. He flashed big time in the AFL and it’s a shame that Bannister hasn’t figured out how to reign him in. He can still be valuable in a bullpen role, but that would be a huge miss based on where we took him in the draft and who we passed on.

Arizona Complex League is finished for the Sox. 19-41 is second worst record by 1/2 game and they had the worst run differential at -135. Hopefully this years draft and some additions from the DSL make it better next year.

Of course AI was used. LOL.It was fantastic for those of us who remember Comiskey. The color enhanced images of the original Comiskey (based on actual b/w photos) were stunning. I only remember Comiskey after Veeck foolishly painted the brick white. Hard to believe Veeck had the great idea to put vines in Wrigley, but he and his son Mike tried to make Comiskey a clown show.

3 of their top 4 SP prospects have now all been moved to the bullpen. (taylor, McDougal, smith)

I'd love the Sox to go after Hunter Greene if he's made available. I'd trade a haul for that.

McDougal. It occurs to me watching them prioritize moving their top pitching prospects to the pen, are they going to do a Rays type move where they trade a veteran bullpen arm like Newcomb or Hicks or Hudson or please God Seranthony to get a starter. I simply don’t believe Getz is ready to mortgage the future to gain a couple of wins this year.

SIUSA Today Defends Controversial Caitlin Clark Column With...The publication says a bizarre, inflammatory article ripping the WNBA star is fine because it’s an opinion piece.The crazy part is they (USA Today) had a separate article accusung her of skipping WNBA All Star weekend events to get her hair done inIowa when she was doing an even for her charitable foundation. Also had time to visit Obama Library, Wilson Basketball flagship store in Chicago for an event as well as McCormick Place for 30 min player interviews.

I hope the often injured Teel isn't another Eloy J version 2

Who have they done with beyond Grant Taylor?

2 homers since the All-Star break isn't going to work.

I think Hancock will have a good bit more value, but I was thinking something like this as well. Throw in Pereira and probably 1 of Adams/McDougal. Successful prearb SP’s don’t exactly hit the trade market often, I imagine the Mariners will have plenty of offers. I think it would make total sense for the future of the Sox given the MIF talent we have coming up and Hancock’s cheap controllable contract.

Pitcher with no control to the bullpen? And diminished stuff? At least not throwing much over 95-97, which is pretty much the reliever velocity these days...

Agreed. Need a veteran stopgap catcher immediately!

Couple more outings like that, and it’s a thing that makes you go, hmmmm

It's not like Hagen has a ton to work on or anything! Don't worry, they super duper promise this is temporary. Sox love taking their starters and turning them into two pitch bullpen arms. At least he doesnt have command issues which rear their head horribly out of the pen. Ill say i think he's a reliever anyway.

The Sox have been pretty resilient after tough losses but this one will be a tough one to forget blowing a 5 run lead especially when we could have gone 2.5 games up on Cleveland.

Might have to juggle the lineup, time for Colson to be moved out of the cleanup spot. Alternate between Ant Man and Meidroth at leadoff and the second spot depending on the pitcher.

The injuries to Teel and the regression of Quero shows how important it is to draft and develop. Before the WBC the Sox catching was one of their strengths but that has quickly evaporated.

AI slop no thanks

Chase is not getting traded in the 2026 season.

The pop up & hbp game, strange one.

Need for the Sox to start hitting homers again.
