It doesn’t get any worse than that. Should never ever happen. An embarrassment.

@tray, I don’t bust your balls much anymore and I agree with you on a lot of things but you can’t have it both ways.

Sorry, I should have also said impressive as well. I have never scored a game, but I always figured that would be something that one would learn from their grandpa, father, and so on. My dad never did it, so I never learned it. I would be surprised if many people still do it today. I think it has unfortunately aged out, due to stat tracking. But your first sentence provides the explanation.

You are a dying breed, especially at your young age. Surprising.

Guardians out. Peralta post season record 3-0. 0.67 ERA. Sox get Castillo instead.
Go look at the numerous posts around the trade deadline — many posters were saying that acquiring two starters was a must. Most notably, @Chicago White Sox was screaming it from the hills. I told him at the time that the Sox would likely half-ass it as always and Castillo would be their only starter acquisition. You mention the Doyle acquisition but Getz had to give up one of his starter options that could have helped this year just to acquire him. The trade deadline was a D and better acquisitions could have definitely been the difference in winning the division and advancing in the postseason. I don’t understand why this is even a controversial take. It was a one game difference in the regular season and the Sox also had a demanding 2-0 lead against the Guardians in the ALDS after playing the first two road games. A starter or even two that actually pitched in the postseason, unlike awful Castillo, couldn’t have made a difference?

They still only lost the division by one freaking game, even with how bad the offense was. You don’t think had they acquired a better starter other than Castillo, who was a complete and utter failure, it couldn’t have made the difference? You are being illogical and you also must realize you have lost the argument when you are being up unrelated trade rumors from years past.

And lost the division by one game and a playoff series to the same team after being up 2-0 on the road. A starter other than Castillo who didn’t pitch in the postseason could definitely have been the difference, without even mentioning also adding a second starter which most posters wanted Getz to do.

It’s funny when WE just makes up fantastical bullshit that the board supposedly said to try to defend his best GM ever.

I don’t think anyone ever said this, but it’s hard to argue that the Sox wouldn’t have won the division and passed the Guardians in the postseason with a better trade deadline starter acquisition than buster Castillo.

This post is BS. GM’s get assessed on the players they acquire and if they perform or fail. It’s the way it is.

Yes, I did. Flew right over my head. Had the David Samson “2nd place is best” quotes in my head but not the White Flag trade. 🤣
