Nope. They'll come to life against us.

Well....... that didn't age well 🤣

Not sure who comes out to pitch the bottom of the 4th, but it better be ABU (Anybody But Urquidy).

With a fastball that tops out at 93 mph, he has nothing to keep batters honest to not just look changeup. Unless Getz was severely hampered by JR's budget/direction to only go after players with multiple years of control, failing to get another legitimate starter at the deadline was malpractice.

Thanks for the blister news. It just appeared to me that he's hit a wall with his innings mounting. He's not the same guy he was 2 months ago. That said, if they shut him down for 10 days, let the blister heal, his arm has a chance to bounce back. I think he's only pitched 9 total innings in his last 5 starts. That plus an IL stint, and hopefully he bounces back strong.

I hear Luis Robert is available. What?!? Too soon?

What happened to Colson?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

They got a rouge (see Canadian football)

Interesting question. Put another way, are the Sox 3 players away from being a favorite? I think the answer is yes! The problem is, those players are Ruth, Gehrig, and Koufax 😳

Thank you!

Sorry if this has been covered, but what teams are not part of the lottery for 2026? I know Colorado is out, but not sure the others.

I wish him luck. Seemed like a decent guy. The Sox f'd up EVERY aspect of his development. Rushed him to Majors to justify the pick. Didn't send him down when he needed a reset. Finally (and worst) put him in the outfield where his lack of instinct and foot speed made him the worst option in MLB at that position. They thought they were drafting Steve Garvey and ended up with Steve Harvey.

Only 3'ish years too late. They forced him into the lineup to justify the draft slot. Then they threw him into the outfield and said "good luck". He should sue the organization for malpractice. He is permanently broken and I doubt our "development staff" can fix him. Really sad.

Showcasing him for the trade deadline deal that will return a bucket of balls.

Thanks

Is Robert hurt? I haven't seen him in the lineup this weekend.

Does anyone know if the pre/post game will be available on mlb tv this season? As an out of towner that's my only way to watch the games so I'm curious. Thanks.

I'm looking for more infamy than just the 120 losses. I want them to set the all time worst winning percentage.

I still worry the Angels will roll over and screw up our march to infamy.

Guys; I think we have this all wrong. Getz is a genius. He's going to keep trotting Sheets, Nicky, Vargas, and Moncada out there the rest of the season. We'll lose >120 games and be the worst of all time. Then.......he makes genius move after genius move in the off season and we ONLY lose 95 games next season. And.....POOF he's Executive of the Year for a 25+ game improvement over this season. He's playing 3D chess and we're mearly playing checkers boys.

I never revel in someone losing their job, but I'm thrilled this happened today. The man was not remotely qualified to be an MLB manager. The Royals passing on him for their job twice told us all we needed to know. On top of that, he really was an unlikeable guy. Major ass kisser to management. Throws his players under the bus. And just a generally surly dude that you couldn't remotely root for. All that said, my expectations for the new manager are in the crapper. Getz using the same "extensive search" BS we heard from Hahn the last two times. Get ready for LaRussa's buddy Skip Shoemaker to be the choice.

Why am I not surprised that Getz got fleeced in this deal? He is totally unqualified as a GM and a proven failure as a minor league developer of talent. We had a guy with 1½ years of control that should have returned a top 100 prospect at a minimum. He packages that guy with Pham and Kopech and gets a AAAA player and 2 really young kids that now get to develop in the worst minor league "system" in baseball. He got taken apart at the Big kids table and thinks he won because JR is happy he reduced payroll. This franchise is utterly doomed until JR draws his last breath. Really happy we didn't waste a year of a REAL GM having to learn the organization. Getz hit the ground running and under JR's direction has turned us into the laughing stock of baseball. Thank you JR, you sanctimonious a$$hole for ruining the team of my youth.
