  1. How about stop falling off the mound towards first base, which is causing your arm not to keep up with your body? I called it earlier in the game he was struggling with his mechanics.
  2. Nah, he’s on the phone with Kopech, Rodon, Dunning and Lambert seeing how their recovery is going.
  3. Batting practice...wouldn’t it be something if Lopez ends up with a better ERA than Giolito.
  4. So just how are the Sox going to start competing with this Twins lineup next year? They have better players at almost every position.
  5. I don’t think I will ever understand why teams shift with an infielder directly behind the pitcher
  6. Sox hitters really need to stop guessing with 2 strikes. That’s where the organizational philosophy needs to change
  7. Also don’t like to see the Giolito exaggerated leg kick after the pitch. He’s not even close with his breaking pitches.
  8. Not giving up by any means, but I don’t think he’s a TOR pitcher due to his inability to go long in games. I also don’t trust Cooper to bring the best out of him.
  9. Is Thor even an ace? Kopech is untouchable for me, but if you want to do Cease, Walker and Collins for him....I’m game
  10. 62nd out of 66 in terms of fWAR for qualified outfielders. 1.5 cumulative career fWAR. This would be settling for mediocrity.
  11. Thank you!!! Looks like a bunch of replacement level players at best. One thing as the rebuild kicks into contending that many fans have to recalibrate is what should be considered starting material. No more Yolmer or “maybe Cordell or Tilson” or Rutherford. Especially for positions like 1B and RF, we should be taking about impact bats.
  12. Heck no to giving up Lopez for him. He has to be one of the worst everyday outfielders the last three years, and it’s not like there’s a lot of control left. Someone like Fry or Collins is the most I would be ok with them giving up.
  13. RF isn’t exactly a hard spot to fill. I have no problem with Vaughn over Bleday if they viewed him as the better bat.
  14. Don’t look up his fWAR during his career. What a waste of god-given talent
  15. This article sure seems to imply it, including that they had scouts there yesterday. https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rangers/rangers/2019/07/24/mike-minor-prize-teams-seek-not-ranger-discussed-ahead-trade-deadline
