Not if he was trying to pace himself to go longer

RF guess?

Foster should have been given a game during the Cubs series to start as the opener again and then start yesterday.

Could totally see them trading a relief arm for Kole Calhoun. It’s just so hard to predict anything though with the COVID impact on money.

They had no faith in any of their young starters, and I don’t blame them for how they finished the season. The Sox best chance of giving up a minimum number of runs was getting their main pen guys involved. It just didn’t work due to the injury unfortunately.

Bauer just isn’t realistic, IMO. Stroman or Odorizzi is way more realistic.

They also shouldn’t have pitched Heuer in game 2 if they knew a bullpen game was coming

No guarantees but it’s versatile enough that with a loaded lineup, you don’t need to spend to upgrade it.

Wouldn’t you say a bench of Engel, Mendick and Leury is pretty darn good

Yep absolutely, couldn’t agree more.

If he left Dunning in to face Olson, their best power guy, and gives up a 3 run homer, almost all of us would have gone ballistic.

I agree he won’t be fired, but it’s infuriating that the Sox only have “2 starting pitchers”. Too much potential for Cooper to continue to fail in terms of developing starters. Some change is desperately needed in the organization. This year was successful, but it was also set up perfectly for this team. They flat out weren’t a good team against actual contenders and were below .500 against RHP.

Go back and watch the Lamb AB. He missed his spot badly the whole AB and wasn’t crisp at all. I’m sure if he didn’t struggle the last two games, they might have been more patient.

I think it’s time to move on from Rodon https://mobile.twitter.com/AshleyRodon/status/1311790061365522433

Roark, Miley and Lyles were guys they were interested in besides Gio. All of them were awful beyond belief.

They did, it’s just Gio was a lemon. They were never gonna pay for two big starters.

Seems he’s been going through some family stuff with a newborn, but he’s definitely put on some lbs

They need another veteran starter, IMO. We also have no idea how pitchers will hold up next year after the rushed season.

Because his 2020 is scary bad and honestly he doesn’t look great physically

It’s almost a guarantee, IMO, based off Stoney’s comments that they want a lefty run producer. I feel like Brantley could be the Sox version of Zobrist/Cubs.

Sarcasm but given Eloy, I’m sure it will be something

You could add Bauer and bring back Mazara and I would be ok with that

Eloy probably still recovering and will have to DH

Followed by Manny bomb

Yes absolutely.
