fathom

Yep, no urgency

Go Angels

Yeah cause when I see a guy struggle with a mediocre fastball and a lot of change ups, it makes me want to see Thorpe

The 5k in attendance are going to start booing. Embarrassing attendance

His change up is garbage tonight

Colson has to charge that

Really should have used an opener

Just watched an entire half inning with Benetti eating and talking to a chef.

Up to this point in the season, he shouldn’t be starting in the postseason. He’s one of the 10 worst starters in baseball this year (100 IP or more). Much rather go the opener path outside of Burke.

But he’s a good teammate

That would be the ideal spot if it works out. Exciting stuff

I will be absolutely stunned if they sign anyone outside the organization for more than 25 mil this offseason

Also helps when almost everyone in your bullpen has a career year.

Castillo is their big add

Oh come on. The Sox even said Castillo was brought in due to his ability to provide innings as a starter, yet 3 of his 4 starts have been short.

Great post…the poor development of so many of the pitching prospects really tied Getz’s hands at the deadline.

Ha yes

Yeah they’re not eating that contract. I did say when they acquired him that it wouldn’t shock me if we start seeing “DFA Castillo” threads starting around May of next year.

During Braves game last night, announcers said Braves wanted Mahle because they saw improvements in his fastball the last few starts before the deadline, and they implied the Rangers catchers stink.

I just don’t like the approach because the 2005 was a bunch of slap hitters, and that helped them win the WS. Wait, they were 5th in baseball with 200 on the season!

Isn’t that part of the formula with the deadline though? Bringing in guys you have to fix while trying to win is a very risky strategy.

Against Texas, using a lefty opener seems like the easy call. It helps neutralize Joc right off the bat.

His son plays high level travel baseball. Working morning M-F will be great for him.

Don’t forget being upset they didn’t hire anyone with a Score background

The Score was never going to give him a shot to be well received. Doesn’t take a genius to realize why.
