Not when this lineup will struggle to score 3 runs of it’s own. 🤣

Schumaker ain’t no dummy. He probably never even considered this career killer gig.

Comparing a crappy acquisition (Lopez) to a slightly crappier acquisition (Frazier) doesn’t make Lopez look any better. Regarding Soroka, considering he was a guy with a history of injuries, it should be no surprise that he… got injured.

I was just pointing out that your “odds” statement was, well, odd. I never said Bummer’s high likelihood of rebounding based on the rest of his career dictated his entire trade value. But the “odds” were more likely that Bummer would perform better than a 6.79 ERA, as that was the obvious outlier in his career. He isn’t a 6 ERA guy. He’s a 3.5 to 3.75 ERA guy.

Based on his career, the odds are that Bummer would have had a better ERA than 6 with the Sox last season. His ERA in 2023 was the worst in his career. Prior to 2023, Bummer never finished a season with worse than a 4.50 ERA and that was his rookie season.

The Braves re-worked Bummer’s contract to retain him for two more years. Meanwhile, other than Gowens, you wouldn’t want back one of the four other players that the Sox received for Bummer.

But does he know how to use the latest data modeling technology like our guys? Just you wait and see…

More guys like Soroka and Flexen that had a good year or two before injuries.

The Raiders have already fired Getsy. The Bears sure know how to pick coaches.

Yup.

I didn’t see a Ron post. It was Cali. I would have recognized some unnecessary Abreu trolling if it was a Ron post. 🤣

Rizzo is a former good 1B that is now past his prime. Vaughn is a never was.

It will be interesting to see if Venable is the real deal or if Getz will sabotage his managerial career with poor roster decisions.

$3 million is more in their wheelhouse for a veteran starter.

Would make some sense as a veteran starter but I doubt the Sox want to pay him $5.5 million.

Fenwick advances to face Downers Grove North and future Minnesota Gophers QB Owen Lansu. 12-7 final. Some awful ball management by BR’s QB CJ Gray basically gave the game to Fenwick. Crazy scrambling at the end of the first half to give up the ball and an easy Fenwick TD and some more scrambling out of his own end zone for a safety in the fourth quarter, rather than taking a sack and throwing the ball away. 9 points gifted to Fenwick. OL injuries ended up killing BR. While Fenwick does have a good D, BR couldn’t move the ball on the ground at all.

That may be a good idea considering Getz seems to mostly go after terrible players.

Getz literally said they won’t be spending in free agency a couple months ago…

Jon Rauch still made a career as a decent reliever and was in the MLB for 11 years. I don’t think he would be that massive of a bust considering that. He was still just a third round pick.

This is true, but is 33 innings a short stretch? That’s about half a season of innings for most relievers. I guess we’ll find out next season.

Isn’t it at the second half of this video?

Who the hell is Echo?
