Yes of course let's sacrifice our best relief pitcher's health for 1 more win in a 100 loss season the day after Moncada's health was sacrificed . Today was his 4th appearance in 6 days. How do you or anyone else think you know anything about baseball with this hot take ?

Well see. If they get a good offer better early than late on a good performing RP.

Wilson pitched 1.1 innings on April 5th 1.0 April 7th 1.0 April 9 and 1 today. That's 4 appearances in 6 days You don't have your best RP pitching every other day or more in this case. You sacrifice today to perhaps keep Wilson healthy for the trade deadline. The loss or win today means nothing. But please keep giving the meatball takes.

Better that it doesnt . Sox are out of pitchers almost and position players too

Infield was in and it was sharply hit

ai ai ai !

oh that'll work . Now let's go !

Bad 1st pitch call on Colas. Do umps hate Cubans ? I'm almost serious.

Now we need to score late like yesterday. Not too much too ask against the best BP in MLB so far is it ?

decent job of giving up only 1 by Banks

Need a DP

Fedde's ERA went from 2.08 to 4.40 just like that

I hate Kwan too

2 bonehead running mistakes by Sosa worked out . but Sox cannot capitalize thanks to the Vuaghn K and a pitch that Sandlin missed his spot and the weak FO by 10D

Would be nice if they could tack on another run here.

Make that I hate all Naylors

I hate Josh Naylor

How did u get Whitesox2023 to agree with you? I'm stumped. You just said the likely return from the Cease trade will probably be 3 x better than the Sale trade which is pretty unlikely given the amount of WAR Moncada and Kopech have already and in Kopech's case still may accumulate when he just said it was a light return while I said calling it light is premature until we see how it plays out which could be10 years from now. Maybe it was your second paragraph .

SO what I'm gathering is that you have a better idea of who to play to replace the recently deceased. All I'm expecting is better than 1 and 8 in the next 9 games to be able to say they did better without those guys since they are 1-0 already without them once Moncada went down yesterday and they were without all 3 of them. The rest of the season you just play matchups and hope for a good showing. It would be best if Eloy can come back and hit like he's supposed to before he gets injured again.

The incredibly small sample sizes have been the only good results so far. Eloy sucked in his small sample size then got hurt. Vaughns small sample size was bad. Fletchers bad. Maldonado bad, Pillar bad, Maldonado and Stassi bad. Some one has to play CF . Who is that going to be most of the time Pillar, Fletcher or Colas ? Who's going to DH against RH and LHP ? Just start mixing and matching against the pitching and PH late in games. If you want to keep Vaughn , OK, sure but he has to step up and do something besides hit into DP and hit and field terribly. Availability is a huge part of ability and and even with them they went 1 and 9. You can keep Fletcher and Colas in most of the time in the same OF against RHP and work in Pillar and Grossman. Sosa and Colas may provide a bit more pop maybe not I'm willing to find out rather than playing Grossman and Pillar. If SHeets stops hitting against RHP pitching playing DH then pick another option.

Never said they were better I said it wouldn't surprise me they hit better than they have been so far. Why should Vaughn and Maldonado keep getting ABs ? Vaughn should play against LHP. Sheets against RHP. Lee should play as much as possible over both Stassi and Maldonado. Do you think Colas is worse than Sheets in RF or is a worse hitter than Pillar or Fletcher ? They will miss Moncada's fielding and some of his OBP or hitting but its not like he was a great slugger. He's good for around a .420 slugging percentage. Of course they will miss the fielding and hitting of Robert but pre injury Robert wasnt exactly tearing the cover off the ball except for 1 game. Over an extended period it might all equal out or slightly better or worse but better than what had already transpired. They already have a head start with the win yesterday. Maybe you were impressed with the 1-9 start. Didnt seem like it from your comments in game threads.

I realize everything with you is Short Attention Span Theater but the verdict is a long way off on the Cease trade. It wouldnt have done the Sox any good to hold onto him into the season. Not only did they want his salary off the books they didnt want to chance him getting hurt. If only they had found takers for Moncada, Eloy and Robert while he was healthy coming off his best season but nooo everyone thought he had finally found the magic and he was worth more than the Sox could ever get in return.

It wouldnt surprise me that they become a better hitting team with Sosa, Colas , Lee and Sheets. Despite 90% of the fans calling for Sheets head he's been the one of the few hitters performing well .Tied with Moncada for the team lead with 5 walks, leading team in OBP. Him and Korey Lee have been the top hitters. Sheets might as well play every day at 1st or DH.

I don't think this too meatyballer only because I think the same thing. Football players build strength and lift a lot of weights make hard cuts, slow down, speed up, spin,contort , have huge men hanging on them and they keep running and yes they too will get hurt , twist an ankle, blow out a knee, pull a hammy etc., but they are dragging extra weight , getting slammed into from all angles, playing in rain sleet and snow in colder conditions than baseball and yet our guys cant run a straight line and step on a base and make a turn without damaging themselves. I do have a hard time blaming the training staff . I mean if the manager asks the player are you good enough to go and the player says yes, you play him or you could say look we suck with or without you and you have a contract year coming up. We don't want you to get hurt worse so lets IL you until u feel 100% . No one however is MAKING them play as @fathom said. That's meatball even if you try to back it up by saying you've heard bad things about the training staff in the majors and minors. Share it ahead of time, not after the fact. Protect your source and just say what you heard . Innuendo and hearsay isnt good. However I will also say that you have investments to protect and Yoan is an investment even if a long shot to get something at the deadline. Getz or someone has to be on top of it and tell the manager it's not the end all be all to play Yoan, Eloy and Robert if they have ouchies. Those were the guys you had to really try to protect .Goals of playing X amount of games are silly. Play when you're healthy so you can have a better chance of staying healthy.

You're all over the place. It's like you grew up staring at littles screens and you can't see everything around you, the room it's in, the house.the town and the big world. JR is full of s%*#. The rebuild failed , andthey lost 100 games last year just to catch you up on things. Apparently you were not aware of these things and that the Sox were very bad and that they were cutting payroll as much as possible. What possible outcome you expected this year I can't comprehend. Yes players get injured and guys who get injured a lot get injured more often. Fringe talent plays like fringe talent. Dumpster dive players rarely work out. Bargains rarely work out. The plan seemed to be get cheap pitching and see if you can make it better and trade it. Perhaps maybe your often injured players could stay healthy and you could get something for them too. But we always knew that it wasn't a good plan. The failures were going to outweigh the successes because you're picking up turds and polishing them . Hope you understand whats going on now.
