fathom

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:18 AM) Lost in the collapse was an outstanding effort by Volstadt. But why did Fulmer only pitch 1 inning? Did he have an injury? Had a case of the sucks

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:41 AM) Welcome to rebuilding. Now imagine trying to do with without the jump start from Sale/Eaton/Quintana. Yep I actually didn't mind Oakland series in terms of development. Yoan looked great, as did Lopez. Basically everyone that sucked in Oakland won't be around in two years.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:37 AM) I mean they dont really have a choice playing like this. Rick Hahn better have some magic up his sleeve for free agency. To me, no doubt in my mind they go after Moustakas.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:34 AM) I mean I thought it might be a good idea. But at this point it doesnt matter at all. The chances we sign a major free agent next offseason are near zero playing like this. Unless Eloy and Kopech come up. The team would need to do a 180. I know he's a Cubs fool but Kaplan on the radio said he thought the Sox weren't going to go after big name guys this offseason but could the one after. He acted like he heard that from someone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:32 AM) RR not the guy to lead the Sox when they get good. Bigger question might be if Hahn is. Not sure how this front office can be trusted in getting any free agent acquisitions right.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:29 AM) Manny is going to be running to sign a deal with this team next offseason. The pitching is just ugly But man would he have loved it here if he got to experience the culture for a season!!!

This has been a clinic in how to ruin casual fan interest within 3 weeks

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 02:10 AM) We all know that Hawkins is terrible and deserves to be released, but why, why was he so good his first year of pro ball? What happened? Another solid reminder at how terrible the Sox have been at developing their own players

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:26 AM) Only the Sox lose games lie this over and over From top to bottom, this is the worst group of pitchers I've seen on the Sox at one time. It's been Lopez, Jones, Rondon and then pure garbage.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:25 AM) Shields sucks at this too? what’s the point First ballot tank hall of famer

Shields is a joke. Rick Hahn sure sucks at acquiring current major leaguers.

Sick and tired of basically every pitcher on the team having bad control

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:17 AM) James might have a very nice career in front of him as a reliever. Yeah, nope. He just has nothing on any of his pitches anymore

QUOTE (Insp @ Apr 19, 2018 -> 01:06 AM) Why is Engel still in the lineup? You mean majors

Hell of an effort by Bruce

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:09 PM) To go from being up 6-1, to up 9-8, takes a special bullpen skill set. Also illustrates how much MiGo being washed up hurts. Can't have him and Fulmer pitching back-to-back, as they will kill your pen

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:08 PM) Too early to start thinking about another Top 3-5 pick in 2019? Nope, not with the worst pitching in the AL

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:01 PM) Pen is just so bad...painful to watch Good thing Ricky keeps playing for one run early in games with Mariano and company in the pen

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:02 PM) I think Bummer is acceptable, rebuilding club, young good arm. Boone iirc jumped from A ball and was put on a team that was pseudo contending. Results are the same though Freaking Hafner

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 09:59 PM) Nothing; He hasn't passed the eye test much at all. The only thing that gave me some hope was that little run (which was totally unexpected) he had to finish last year. Outside of that, not much to like about Fulmer's performance. He never passed the eye test in the minors. He has been a massive bust

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 09:59 PM) Check that --- he wasn't even in a jam! Just 1 on 1 out. Strange decision. This is getting painful. Hopefully we get out of this inning with a lead. Pitched yesterday

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 09:56 PM) Bummer kinda sucks. Which is weird because he shouldnt, given the movement on his pitches. Reminds me of my first exposure to Boone Logan Both rushed to majors for no reason

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:06 AM) Tip your cap. How close was he on the previous fastball that he fouled off? At least he's timing 96-97 mph stuff. He was behind on the fastballs in last at bat. Had a good swing on 3-1. Anyone in baseball strikes out on that 3-2 pitch

Nasty final pitch. Team is crazy bad with RISP, as they even had two hits that didn't score anyone

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 04:39 AM) Love it, keep that momentum going. Funny thing is fWAR loves his base running and likes his defense so far. After tonight, his bsr value is higher after 14 games than it was all of last year
