Here come the Sox...

Yeah...I noticed that.

Marshall has pitched well overall. I like him as a piece of the future bullpen as long as he keeps it up.

That was a factor along with the ump squeezing him on that 2-2 pitch.

Once again Ricky goes to the pen when the horse has left the barn. I'm an optimist when it comes to long term Sox future but I'm doubtful that Ricky belongs in that future.

Here comes Ricky ever quick to act.

Big Surprise!

Moncada didn't look very good for awhile. I try not to take it to seriously for half a season. This is the reason I would like to get Robert, Madrigal and Cease up as soon as possible. It takes most guys their first few months to find themselves. Just as soon start the process.

Good Point.

Very small sample size...but for those that live and die on WAR I would agree nothing to like from that direction.

I agree in principle. Who would that be?

Not fair to judge Cordell until he gets some uninterrupted playing time. As I've said before...he is a 5 tool player but I understand none of his tools are elite.

This is a move I would love to see. Get Buehrle to take the job. I love pitchers who understand a fast pace with aggression can help a guy not overthink it.

I certainly hope not.

I didn't like the long drawn out saga either. We do it to ourselves when we speculate for weeks. FO only said they felt good about their chances. We let that become some kind of already done deal. I especially didn't like some FA's slipping past us while we pursued them.

McCann and Colome would normally be received pretty well.

Don't we all?

Oops...I hope the hits and SB's still count.

The other day Jayson and DJ did the Washington broadcast and I thought they were very good together.

BTW Nick Madrigal had his AA debut today with 3 hits and 2 stolen bases. Very nice!

Absolutely no one including Machado or Harper come with guarantees. TJ is no longer a career killer in fact many come back better than ever. I feel confident in the guys we are all counting on. I do think 2020 will probably be getting all of the prospect up and learning to work together along with some rehab time for Kopech. I still expect us to compete next year. Robert, Madrigal, Cease and Kopech are huge addition along with more maturity for Eloy and Madrigal. I'm liking the addition of McCann and perhaps Collins as well.

Right field and two starting pitchers. Of course you can always use as much quality bullpen pieces as you can get your hands on.

When the rebuild is done and we're winning everything in sight I'm sure the negative guys will admit that they were wrong.🙂

Nova is working much faster than usual. I like.

Well I would say Hawk Harrelson & Kenney Williams would both beat him to that title. I don't know if he would or would not be offered other GM jobs. You don't either.
