fathom

And yet he’s still in

Awful, what terrible pitch selection. We can all see he has nothing, but Ricky and Cooper are asleep

Foster doesn’t have any zip on these pitches

Foster always work this slow?

I really don’t think it’s there. He used to be able to hit 97-98 in the first few innings. He’s not even close to that now.

I missed first 4 innings, but looking at the velocity numbers for Lopez tells me he needs to be out of the rotation.

Is the catcher drunk back there?

Nicely done! Ump flinched a bit

Nomar just can’t pull fastballs

That was an insanely good at bat

He looks god awful vs lefties.

Do you think Ray is even worthy of a rotation spot now given his command?

Yep I believe it was Gore who scored from 2nd on a wild pitch

Nothing to dislike about this move. I dare anyone to find a faster outfield in history that Dyson/Robert/Engel

Everything I’ve heard is that it plays huge, especially compared to the old park

I don’t think Bauer is going to be available unfortunately. They’re a few innings away from picking up two games on the Cardinals today.

Just heard the injury hasn’t calmed down yet, which seems lengthier than they expected

This is cliche talk but maybe the biggest addition the Sox could bring in is getting Bummer back. Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like a lot of progress has been made.

Ricky doesn’t like to give guys the green light. And do you really want him possibly getting caught stealing with top of the order up? Also not a single belief I have about Madrigal is from his time in the Majors this year. Go back in the minor league threads from last year and you will see numerous comments about how his speed was not as advertised.

So far, Stone has said Lynn, Clevinger/Plesac, deGrom and Trevor Williams won’t happen. A few weeks ago he also said no to Stroman as a FA.

Madrigal would be lucky to steal 15 bases a year, and I’m not sure I would want him trying to steal that much.

No he’s not a rental

I’m not worried at all about who might be traded, as Vaughn is the only untouchable in the system now. For the right price, Kopech and/or Madrigal should be available. I also say this with the confidence that no rentals will be brought in unless it’s a small trade.

Wasn’t he the worst pitcher in baseball last year statistically? I know that means less now that it did before Giolito, but don’t act like he’s this phenomenal performer that had a few bad outings. He’s lucky he was given a starting spot coming into the season without real competition.

Keith Law said today that Lopez probably has no value at all
