Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
Seems like a team that needs more than a college catcher

Value was likely not going to be equal during this version of Sale's contract. The excess service time gained with the 3 young guys was where the surplus WAR was going to come from if things went well. Don't forget that Kopech was expected to take longer to develop than most on here thought when Sox got him. He actually took gigantic steps last season to get closer to than majors than was projected.

This coaching staff, from Renteria all the way down to Capra, was put in place to develop these young guys. They are failing at doing this SO FAR, as not only is the performance been bad basically across the board, but the fundamentals have been awful. Having to bench numerous players due to lack of hustle is embarrassing, as is sitting the major building blocks and calling them into the "principal's office" to tell them they need to sit and watch how others focus during games is not a good sign. These last two games have been inexcusable, as half the team has looked like little leaguers. Tilson legitimately looks like a 10 year old playing outfield for the first time and is nervous when the ball is in the air.

He picked it up for the last ten feet, but it was too late. I will be shocked if he starts tomorrow.

Ricky is not going to like that last play

They won't get anything of substance for Gomez, as they waited far too long to call him up (he's not very good anyways). Burdi won't pitch during the season most likely.

Trade Deadline
In all the years Viciedo was here, no one ever called him Diane. That made me laugh!

let's hope, but I wonder if he did it sliding again?

8.31 ERA and counting...Coop fixed another!

At least we will always have Rondon's save vs the Cubs. He's probably DFA'd in next 12 hours.

Put in Davidson! Not sure he's much worse than Rondon, who is just wasting a chance at showcasing Gomez.

He needs to be gone. You can't allow this to continue, as it kills the pitchers. There's a reason the team's era is so much worse with him than Smith. The organization decision making really is awful. Why do you keep someone on the roster that is tied for most passed balls in AL (in 16 less starts that Sanchez) and is the worst framer?

Oh Omar....bad framing, catching and throwing. Stop showing off tonight!

Another play that Yoan should have made. What a mess this defense has been.

Off the plate of course. Those were unhitable. Joe West has made a joke of this game.

Joe West putting on a clinic tonight....for robot umps

Haha, nice defense by everyone. Look like a bunch of little leaguers the last two games.

And just dropped another throw. He's playing like total crap. Him being an ASG starter is a joke.

Avi looks good since he came back. Abreu, on the other hand, has zero bat speed even though West blew that call against him badly.

Just to add a stat to an earlier post, in the last 4 games, of the 158 fastballs Sox starters have thrown, they have 3 swing and misses.
