Well, Getz should now trade off the people other teams want, then start cycling through minor league arms in the rotation and bullpen. But that won't happen until the AA 1st half is over, and the TDL passes in 5.5 weeks.

Here's what I actually said: and my list of 24 "good" starters was here

Or just have an old timers game at 11:00 on Sundays. Abreu and Maldy can pick teams.

If not being shutout doesn't matter, then why does run differential? You're grasping at straws. All the mopes loved the string that projected how this team was going to blow away the number of times shutout record. But now that they're scoring runs, "boo-hoo, mommy, the internet's hurting me!!"

I doubt much in the physical world makes sense to you. Except for honking the horn on your belt, and sitting in a Volkswagen with 23 other circus clowns. Do you have anything baseball related to post, or are you just about trolling tonight?

No, little man. Find the post and quote it. You don't need everyone else to fight your battles for you. And if you don't have the energy to do that, you don't really need to fill up pages with your clown posts.

I'm sorry, does Duke Ellis now catch??

They're trying to create a narrative that every. single. move. Chris Getz makes is bad. Even signing Erick Fedde and converting Crochet into a starter. Bad. Bad. And when they trade Fedde, they'll whine about the return. And then when one of the guys who was a throw-in for Fedde gets DFAed, they'll whine he didn't get a chance. Welcome to the Whine Cellar.

You don't give a sh1t about reality or facts, either. Do you have a point in all of this? We all get that you don't like Chris Getz. Anything else? LOL. You are quite the circus clown.

I didn't say that. Stick to the facts and you can have a laugh at Drohan getting cut after I made a long list of starting pitching prospects that included him. I'm not sure why you need to make up BS if I'm such a "homer clown". Perhaps you're working overtime throwing s%*# against the wall because you want company in your little clown car?

I didn't like the Maldonado signing, and still don't. The implication is that he tutors Lee, and he helps keep young pitchers he works with focused. I don't really buy into that, but with so many issues on this club, Maldonado as backup isn't pressing. The team isn't getting shut out once a series. While they don't give out awards for that, they can score a few runs a game, now. I think the bullpen is the next frontier. Maybe having 4 guys who can now go 6 innings regularly helps them out.

I'm not making that point, but run with it.

When they try to slow it down just to make the plays in front of them, they're loafing. When they press to make things happen, they're boneheads.

They're screaming that these guys should be starting every game the rest of the way to "learn", but every mistake they make is Getz' fault, because they didn't learn how to deal with every possible situation that happens at twice the speed at the major league level - in the minors. That's Entertainment!

Ellis is also 26, and was never expected to be anything. He was promoted as an emergency measure when 2 OFs went on the IL. I don't know why you guys expend so much energy bemoaning the clearing out of 4th OFs and last utility infielders on the bench. There's a reason why they didn't do this to Terrel Tatum or Jaime Burke. Those guys more describe the argument you're about to make about amassing "interesting prospects".

Or it's a giant "don't reinjure yourself before the TDL" to Robert.

Thinking about all that tape he would be watching next rain delay.

I haven't been for a few years, but I'd buy upper deck tickets, then grease the Andy Frain dude $20+ to let you into the lower deck.

Nice article by James Fegan about how Cannon is getting his arsenal to play up. https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/jonathan-cannon-is-proving-to-be-a-quick-and-willing-study/

Sure. Just keep in mind that a player on an insane hot streak will still fail 60% of the time.
