Buehrle>Wood

Dont hate that send

Either smackdown just became the A show or else theyre ending the brand split

All we have to do is call up Elly and Kopech ASAP and we totally can compete with anyone immediately!

We're totally going to make a run bros.

Cheesy

Love it

Engel and Thompson should never be in the same lineup

They traded for Garland 4 years before Cooper took over as pitching coach. Mark Buehrle was drafted in the 38th round, also 4 years before Cooper took over. They both greatly succeeded under Cooper though. Ignoring Quintana, (I'm not going to define that a minor league free agent was acquired as major help), the last person acquired via trade or free agency on that list was Jake Peavy 9 years ago. So yeah, I think that adds to the point.

Yep. In 16 seasons Cooper has been here, the largest free agent starting pitching contract we've given out is 1 year 6 million for Derek Holland. There's been large extensions, but credit those to Cooper for putting those pitchers in line to succeed. The Sox do not give a lot to Cooper to work with at all. Every year hes turning out his miracles, and even this year that may happen with a couple guys in the pen.

Anyone want to guess the largest starting pitching contract we've given out in Don Coopers tenure?

Stay

Quality Start, haters. Awesome, lively crowd at the Grate tonight. I miss those days so much.

There we go

Fry was originally a starting pitcher. However, he's had 2 Tommy John surgeries. There's more wear and tear on a starter's arm compared to a reliever. With his injury concern it's likely he will stay in the bullpen.

Hope you brought a lot of beer

Take the lead here moncada

3 2

Is there a terrible tinning noise for anyone else

Dont steal yet

Raw is reportedly getting 3x their current tv deal. Wow. And smackdown is getting put up for open bidding. Their business is killing it right now.

My god soria is awful

They're in the National League so we rarely play them but...still 7 straight losses over 3 series. Not good.

Ugh

Espn should be ashamed of themselves for this coverage

Well that bizarre
