Velasquez starting strong...not

Stoney saying Conforto was always a pipe dream on twitter.

They might need another starter more than a RF. I’m not exactly loving what Kopech is saying about his preparedness to start the year strong.

I like him better as the platoon partner with Sheets at DH and occasional backup to Yoan

You’ve seen the light

Sure it seems odd Merkin retweeted that. James did also. With that said, I’m not getting my hopes up. I will say this....if it was any other team, I would be sure they were waiting to trade Kimbrel to sign Conforto. It’s like when the Cubs had to trade Castro to sign Zobrist.

I remember being excited to see him in the majors and it took one inning to realize his stuff didn’t match the scouting reports. Fastball had no life to it and breaking pitches were blah with no command.

Well duh, he’s awesome. His energy is insane.

Adolfo had a fantastic at bat after Yermin hurt his hand

And now HBP for Robert. This is why you need a lot more OF depth

He didn’t say they have interest, just that it’s the perfect fit

Jose Ruiz getting bombed

Would have to be a Kimbrel trade

On the Big Time Baseball podcast, Heyman said the Rangers are the likely favorites for Conforto. He mentioned WSox, Giants and Rays also as possibilities. He suggested the Phillies should want Kimbrel.

Only if we call him Spanky

Pretty sure everyone on this site wanted the Sox to sign AJP and Iguchi. I remember the night Ben Davis got tendered a contract, a lot of us were upset because we thought it meant no AJ.

Yep, this is embarrassing. It’s one thing to complain about Tony and his legal issues. This is just ridiculous though. Today sucked as a Sox fan, yet probably 25 other fan bases would gladly trade our situation for theirs.

James might be correct, but I guarantee teams interested in him would have rather seen him at 96-97

No, his bat looks slow. He’s about the most mediocre option they could have wasted their money on.

Feels like today is the culmination of all the stupid decisions coming to a head. Giolito screwed and Kimbrel reminding us he still sucks makes this a crappy Sox day.

That one sliced double made quite the impression

Well, he also got the adrenaline from being a closer. It’s everyone’s fault this is such a disaster.

Who honestly you can’t even trust to pitch in a close game

Kimbrel at 93-94 mph....what a joke
