Vasil is the best reliever. They use him tonight in a lost cause, and don't use him last night when there was a game to be saved.
-
Civale is another one who needs to hit the bricks. Getz should have moved him at the deadline. That he was so tepid at the deadline, is the Getz philosophy/operations that really gives me pause about Getz.
-
Taylor has been terrible. He throws hard, but that's it. No angle, no command. I never quite understood why the regime that moved Crochet out of the pen would move Taylor into the pen; but I guess this is why. At this point, send him down. It's amazing how all 3 of what were though were TOR pitching prospects have really turned to squat (I guess Schultz is getting it back together). I still haven't found anything that Mead does well. Among his talents is that he strikes out a lot..a power hitter's K rate...but he has no power at all.

Is the bridge team the same Arizona team that has been playing for like the last 6 weeks?
-
Sox haven't had 4 since, when, 2023? Long past time for that to change.
-
I go back and forth on this, but I would probably pick up the option if for no other reason than it's one less thing that Getz needs to deal with; if they don't pick up the option, then he's got to find a CF because we have no internal options. And next July, the priority should be to move Tauchman (should not be difficult if he's hitting) and Benintendi (he'll have to include $, but Beni really needs to go). In fact, he might try to move those 2 in December. Of course we need young OF regardless, but you don't want to be forced/pressured into an unfavorable trade due to necessity.

Montgomery needs to get the OBP up, but he can whack it We know Charlotte is terror on pitchers, but it doesn't seem that we learn much about hitters there either - Montgomery couldn't hit a lick there, Raze that stadium or relocate the Knights.

Won a game. Right on!

Can't even beat the flailing Twins. ...who dumped their vets at the deadline like Getz should have done.
-
Those were veterans who had a short stop-over with the Sox. Eddy has a list in one of his posts of a bunch of players who had their best years with the Sox...many of those were stopover vets. I doubt that the Sox either made or broke those guys. But something was going on: a relatively young core rapidly deteriorating at the same time. Others (Madrigal and Vaughn) never developing. Something happened...something was going on. The consistently barren farm (you can't blame the developers without blaming the drafters) exacerbated things....they had no replacements. Vaughn always looked like a hitter...that he's finally hitting isn't a huge surprise. But the Sox really should find out what, if anything, happened. Getz had stumbled here and there but thing were getting better. Then came the deadline and his affirmative decision to essentially stand pat despite the condition of this team. It's hard to get past that.

Gee, a 1-0 loss. That's something new and different. Perez pitched a nice game...that would have been meaningful a month ago. Irrelevant today.

Burke, Cannon, Martin....yes, these guys are 3s at best, probably 4s once they work everything out. And it does take some experience...we're seeing that on the position side. Sox just seem to have a longer leash on AAAA and 30 year old + talent than young players.....and that was true with the prior 2 regimes as well. I figured 1 or 2 of BCM would end up in the pen...but that's because at least 2 of Schultz, Taylor and Smith will head the rotation. Well that plan isn't going too well, for various reasons on all 3. We also have the Shirley (speaking of a guy who gets a pass) specials like Kelley and Palette, who might end up being decent relievers. There certainly is room in the pen. The top 3 guys each gave up 2 in KC on Sunday; the second teamers gave up 3 each v. the Braves on Tuesday.
-
Why not. It's been a while since the bullpen had a good meltdown. Of course, with Gilbert, Peguero, Alexander, you can't be surprised.
-
The Brewers steal a lot of bases...that's one area where the Sox are really poor, but as a rebuilder with a limited budget, they shouldn't be..they should target that area. Brewers have had scrap heap scores. The Sox really haven't, but this time it's not for lack of effort.
-
If we aive up 9 hits in 3 innings, we'd be down 8-0.
-
5 hits and 1 run through 3; and that with a solo shot. Nearly impossible to score.

Julks with #13; Elko with 24. Lots to learn in Charlotte

He's doing it at the expense of the long-term. He's got Taylor and Rojas on this team for no reason at all. Pushing players out to make room for Martin Perez? What the heck?? Trade Robert? When? The best Robert has played in the last 2 seasons were the 4 weeks leading up to the trade deadline. Getz' demand of a starting position player from a contender was patently ridiculous; Okay, they wanted to do Tauchman a solid - fine - but his value will never be as high as it was in July. Getz refused to trade Civale. He trades Houser for a declining prospect who has no real upside. Up until the deadline, Getz was a flawed GM, but it looked like he had a plan and was trying. But now, it looks like his goal is to bring a 70 win team to Chicago. A dog and pony show
-
Anthropolis (a good, rare GM who wasn't trying to put one over on Getz) told Getz that he was going to waive/DFA most of those guys. Getz did it for Soroka; it was worth a shot - he just took a little longer than expected. Getz also got a prospect out of that deal. Sharp contrast to his recent efforts.. But Boozer is pitching well, and he's controllable, so why is he being sent down? He needs to be moved in the offseason and this doesn't help.
