Taylor a hit . Hasn't K'd today has he ? Steal ?

Still got the 9th .More 3-2 luck.

Better the walk with the open base than a HR. Of course Soler can hit them pretty far too.

Baseball Gods have been kind this game .Kind of figured Clevinger might come in with the game on the line . Let's see what they think of this .

That's who I'd use. Leasure still has to prove he can throw strikes consistently.

3 -2 count on every batter 3Ks. Crazy 😋

Murfee got a call on the 3-2 to Rengio. McKinvin framing influence ? 😋

Still got 3 innings to go. Don't count your chickens yet. Might get to see Clevinger close it out if they can keep the lead for 2 more innings .

Wow 73 pitches through 6 innings for Burke. Didn't see that coming after the 1st 2 innings.

What's how his shirt hangs on him have to do with 20 lbs of muscle ? You saw him without a shirt on the beach recently and last year ? A person can put on muscle in his arms, legs chest, back and still not have abs of steel .Lots of large muscles to gain weight.

Grifol would still be looking for the challenge flag.

I'm baffled too with how does he get talent without money ?

🤣

Wow hold the presses Burke has his best inning after Sox score.

Big news vet OF hits HR Sox have early lead and Sox win a challenge and Jake Amaya gets a hit ! 😂

Most of the hires were talking about didn't happen last year.

Because Burger is still in the Majors and teams still want him and he still a very good hitting a FB. I think we're allowed to be silly. If Getz had made that trade you know damn well people would be taking victory laps about Getz poor judge of talent just like they are with Fletcher.

Lol me too ! Double victory day for me because I said after they signed MA Taylor that I thought Robert would still be on the Sox on Opening Day.

And to you as well mi amigo.

😉

An OF of Robert, Taylor and Jones would be top of the line defensively. Wonder if we ever see that. Maybe with Clevinger on the mound in the 9th protecting a lead trying not to give up long balls.

Lol thanks I just had a good Chicago Catholic school education. I don't know if knowing the right usage of they're , their and there or two, to and too and also knowing it's would've, could've, should've instead of would of , could of , should of, makes me a good writer. I just try to look at the bigger picture. To me it's just hard to blame the puppets when someone is pulling THEIR strings. Appreciate the kindness TOO !

If you notice they didn't sign a single player to more than a $5M contract. You're not going to get a closer on a one year deal for that kind of money whose rep is good enough to generate strong trade interest. The market apparently didn't show much interest in Fedde or Cease so while it's easy to be upset about the trades I think the Sox and Getz get treated like the ugly stepchild by other GMs because he was a new GM and they know JR may press Getz to move the salary more than he cares about a better return . I've heard others say salary dump and this could be true. There's so much going on behind the scenes in trades that we just aren't privy to. As fans many thought Cease was worth a lot more.We all wanted a golden return from Baltimore. So yeah what we got back pales in comparison to expectations and Cease came back and pitched very well and again Sox fans started saying ooh SD will get more for him than the Sox did once the rumors started about SD possibly trading Cease. That hasn't happened, has it ? Still despite our expectations I still do like seeing Baltimore fail in the playoffs. Hey maybe Vargas actually improves the Fedde Kopech return and one of those 2 infielders they picked up climb up the Sox top 30 this year and Zavala figured something out and rises from the ashes.

Getz has said Vasil was on their radar when doing the research that led to picking Shane Smith. He's the kind of guy Bannister likes to work with quickly and see if they can come up with a plan against hitters from both sides of plate . Lots of little things you can change quickly and see how comfortable they feel with it. Davis Martin is a guy to keep your eye on as far as a guy who picked up the kick change and than a sinker to overhaul his plan of attack from working with Bannister and Katz and giving him an off season regiment . They won't have that luxury with Vasil so it'll have to happen on the fly. But it's like picking up a AAA starting pitching for almost free with an arm and pitch mix they look for and sticking him in the pen with a chance to start down the road if he can pitch decent enough to stick around all year especially in light of losing guys like Berroa,Adams,Thorpe who all had a good chance to pitch on the 2025 Sox.

It's actually shocking to me that you're supposed to be bad in a rebuild but because it was setting record bad you're all so angry. It's actually comical. Yes we were supposed to be bad but not this bad ! It's even more funny thinking if JR fired Getz that that would somehow change the trajectory that JR has started the countdown on already. 5, 4, 3...I'm gone , my kids sell the Sox. New owner Ishbia ? New stadium ? Are we happy now ? Who cares I'm dead and my kids are rich.Good luck everybody !
