  1. So two team meetings in the first two weeks seems promising
  2. I guarantee Cash won't bench Avi for not hustling in an 8 run game
  3. there you have it, "Abreu" and "great defensive" used in the same sentence for the first time ever.
  4. and yet Hahn, Ricky, Steverson and Cooper will still have a job next year.
  5. I also think Buehrle would have been destroyed in today's era. But yes, the standing tall and not trying to maximize velocity is an antiquated approach. It's not like Cooper can point to his track record for keeping guys healthy anyways. I think a key thing to focus on is that the trend in baseball is 5 productive innings and then go to the bullpen. I don't believe Cooper and the Sox org believes this at all.
  6. Completely ridiculous Lopez started this inning. Meanwhile, Eloy is just insanely bad defensively.
  7. Yep, he was fine as a DH during a rebuild season. Not a single person besides Palka's twitter buddies in the media wanted him to play in the outfield this season. I like Palka more than most due to his college affiliation, but he's just such a perfect example of what went wrong.
  8. Nope, they keep getting worse and worse. There's not a single pitcher that you can look at 2021 and be confident in saying they'll give you 175 innings.
  9. Should definitely be looking to trade Rodon then at the deadline. He'll be throwing 87mph by 2021.
  10. I'm sure we'll hear that the development of these pitchers isn't linear.
  11. Haha, another leadoff walk throwing mostly 91 mph fastballs. Still in the game at 98 pitches, what the hell.
  12. Maybe they'll allow someone who's never run a farm system to oversee the farm system during a rebuild just because he's a former Sox player and Michigan grad!
  13. Don't worry, they might "surprise" people this year.
  14. wow, thought Eloy hit that out and it was 50 feet short
  15. Alonso isn't going to get a major league contract this offseason.
  16. Better hope the top players aren't high schoolers, or they won't get picked first.
  17. It's not just losses...that's fine. It's the pitching being completely shelled.
  18. Fastball between 91 and 93 this inning. At least they keep throwing fastballs to Avi.
  19. I still strongly believe Harper was never going to sign with a franchise with such little prestige. He let them know that early on, and that's why they were never really in on him after a while.
  20. The fact they didn't want to pay Avi and instead wanted to give Palka time in RF is just another reason Hahn should be fired.
