I posted this in another thread, but the Sox are 9-11 since the trade deadline. Luckily for the Sox, the Guardians are 9-10 in the same stretch but have just improved their play the past week. It’s probably just whichever team goes on a hot streak wins the division.This is a radio station that still employs Leila Rahimi to not have a coherent sports thought and laugh constantly on air. Doomed is right.9-11 since the trade deadline. Sox are lucky the Guardians are 9-10 in the same stretch, but have just improved their play recently. I don’t think Bonemer would be any sort of savior but they are going to have to play better than this to hold off the Guardians.Great point.Bart isn't necessarily a rental either. He isn’t a free agent until 2028. They could obviously non-tender him but he’s arbitration eligible in the upcoming offseason.So if there was no series of trades that make this team a legit contender without trading their top prospects, I’ll take back Boston Smith, Mason Adams, etc., cuz the guys Getz got for them stink. I’d rather have the younger guys back.The Sox needed help for the playoff run, not just the future control that came along with these guys. Getz acquired a couple projects with future control because Jerry likely isn’t going to let him spend much in the offseason. But these guys are literally projects in down seasons — Castillo and Doyle. As we have already seen, the additions haven’t helped much.Nope, nobody at all. Dude can’t admit that the Doyle trade sucked. Instead, he’s raging about how Adell’s current performance with the Guardians is fool’s gold, which it likely is. No arguments there.Like I told you before, take up the Keaschall rumors with Dan Hayes. And no, I am not parlaying Adams or a potential rental starter as an ace. Where did I ever say that? But you don’t think Adams or a rental starter would be helping this team right now more than a CF that swings a wet rolled up newspaper? And you don’t win arguments by predicting the future on what you think people will say. Now you sound just like Miss Cleo, I mean Cali.Are we still talking about the player that Doyle was 2 full seasons ago while playing his home games at a hitters haven park? I didn’t want Adell either but he was better than Doyle last year with a 1.2 bWAR. He is also doing well with the Guardians currently. It’s okay to admit that the Guardians’ outfielder trade deadline acquisition was better than Getz’s.Indeed.I don’t think he should have acquired a CF period. I’d rather have either Adams or another starting pitcher rental in the rotation right now. Doyle is basically a defensive replacement because his bat is so bad.Doyle hasn’t been on a heater for two fucking years. 🤣Okay, now address the terrible hitting CF that Getz actually acquired.Getz still chose poorly, regardless of what Adell does.But you’re not for awful Doyle?I’m sure it is, but Peters’ last two at bats were both against lefties and he can just not hit lefties at all.His line with the Guardians. Amazing that a player actually improved after a trade. Apparently the Guardians didn’t have “Lowered Expectationsssssss…” .266 .342 .531 .873Ozzie still loves Alex Cintron. Hitting coach for the Rangers. Ozzie thinks he had the scouting report for Urquidy since his days with the Astros.He almost had a Golden Sombrero tonight. He hit a pop flyout with a 1-2 count in his last at bat.That at bat by Peters is why he should never ever face a lefty unless you are forced to have him face one.Oh gawd, Schriffen said “let’s just flush it” yet again. No more Grifol references please…Rangers are kind to Colson. Catch his foul pop-out on 1-2 to prevent a potential Golden Sombrero.Maybe Getz is starting to realize his entire trade deadline was a bust?
