Also a function of poor scouting again...Cishek has been slipping since 2016

Truthfully it’s a bad bet for relievers in general..remember Scott Linebrink?

Cishek is still helping the Cubs

I Remember when the Sox brass thought he would have the same trajectory as Chris sale - rush him up ...pitch him out of the bullpen.... sprinkle some Cooper magic and voilà .. instant success

Maybe For the Pirates ...or the Tigers. I don’t know who else can afford to have them on the roster

He needs to be aware when the camera is on him (in the dugout)

That play perhaps shows that if it came down to Engel or Leury, Engel gets the nod

Thanks for the kind words...Yes, the Tribe came so close in 2016 and I still think about that hanging breaking pitch that Chapman threw in the ninth inning that should have been hit about 10 miles that would have sealed a WS win for Cleveland. But alas, the pitch was fouled off, then the stupid rain delay, the dumb Jason Hayward speech, the ensuing Cub rally and then over. What might have been.

Good lord will this team win 5 more games this year?

Its almost like they can’t see the ball coming to the plate

Seriously Zack...what an awful job of framing

Its all about ME with TA

Yep too much dwelling on the political capital from 2005 and the six Bulls championships. And I forgot, that unbelievable Black Out Game.

And go back to his high school pitching coach for advice in the offseason

As much as I loved the trade with the Cubs and yes, still do, it should be obvious to Cub fans that neither Cease or Eloy would have contributed anything during their championship window...both of these players will take a while to reach their prime.

There ya go tim

Timmay has looked awful since returning

Eloys future as an offensive player is bright but he has to be better at situational hitting. It can’t always be home run or nothing...needs to think opposite field more

I sat in the upper deck Friday night-what a joke -if they didn’t run out of food, what you got was cold or stale. I’ll stay at home next time

Exactly..Jeff Smarjda was a ‘controllable ‘ starter and look what they gave up to guys like him and Frazier. Pisses me off

I think that Trayce may be DFAed

Everytime i look up and see runners on base for the Sox, its either Engel or Trayce up to bat

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:35 AM) Rodon is a way more valuable asset than Schwarber He should be but the kid is just not getting it done

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:16 AM) He's been extremely mediocre for such a highly touted individual. Guess not everyone can get a rotation spot and dominate like Chris Sale. When you consider that the Cubs drafting one slot behind us on those years selected Schwarber and Happ, I'm starting to align with Theo's philosophy on NOT drafting pitchers with early round picks. I can understand the Rodon pick but selecting Carson Fulmer was shear ignorance.

Maybe it's just me, but these stats are truly mediocre other than Moncada's. I know it's early but the Adam Eaton trade looks like a dud at this point We started the year with what six or seven prospects in the top 100? We add Luis Robert during the season, and now we have only four in the top 100?
