haha 2 outs in 2 pitches Houdini !

Wishcasting but not going well !

Also did not age well.

Did not age well

Excellent 3 innings from Kay.

543 !

That double steal was awesome !

Maybe but since he converted to relief he's been pretty good and can pitch long relief. But with other trades coming you're probably right.

It is just for 3 months but a very important 3 months.

I guess this will free up Eric Lauer to go to the White Sox.

We didn't draw fans then like we are now. Also when we look at his contract didn't he only get $20M this year and he was traded before the season started ? Your memory is selectively betraying you based on always looking for the worst.

We weren't ever going to get our 1st choice. My guess would've been something where most fans initial reaction is unhappiness. Unfortunately it's much harder to reach upside in a 33-34 year old past his prime guy than it is in young players. And since the move requires immediately results the Sox don't have the luxury of patience. May need Bannister , Bove , the Pope and the Wizard to combine their skills.

Yeah we're so not used to paying anyone that as fans we've lost track of what the rest of decent career good pitchers are getting. Back end of contracts to pay for past performance is rough though if you aren't getting the benefit of the front end.

Approximately 20% of the top 50 starting pitchers are 33 or older. Going to take a 2nd half rebound in a smaller ballpark for Castillo to fit into that category. Feels like an overpay and we figured in the sellers market that could happen. Not sure the innings he can eat are worth it at his current stat level. He has to be better. There's certainly a threading the needle , faith in our coaches vibe to this. Guess we'll see if fans are right this time on whether it's an old Sox or new Sox trade. The juice is going to be hard to be worth the squeeze but not impossible.

Wonder how long he'll go. Showcase game 🙃

5 times Mune, Vargas and Colson have all homered in the same game tied an MLB record. It's happened 10 other time.

So was Beni's and Vargas' and the Ray's HR. Mune's was the only one not like 425 ft or more.

I probably shouldn't have thrown Cholowsy's name in with Bonemer's but there's been plenty of Bonemer trade talk among fans at least.

I said trade for those 2 at least a week ago. Was the 1st one to bring up Torrens even before the Torrens rumors came out. Pretty easy just scanning expected sellers catchers to spot a potential Getz guy like Torrens. Was there any discussion on the Eric Lauer speculation with the Dodgers ? He's about what I'm expecting but you never know. Could be our Fedde/ Kay type addition that won't cost a bunch. Dodgers are 9-0 when he starts.

Panican 😜

I like creative writing what can I say ? Keeps my old mind sharp. It wasn't exactly War and Peace. 2 minute read at most. Internet is weird like why is communication limited to a few sentences? Are we admitting we all have ADHD ? Ever listen to Sox Machine Podcast ? Fegan and Margalis drone on forever answering one question from Josh Nelson.

What in my posts looks angry to you. It was about as clinical assesment as you can get. First you put words in my mouth saying oh so you think the Sox are not ocoahing him properly which I never said of course. ANd now you say I am mad when there is no indication at all that i was. There's no caps no exclamation points and no calling you an idiot and a liar .

At least youre not refuting anything I said which only goes to show you pick and choose when to hate on Getz. Do you expect perfection now after less than a year ago hating on everything you could ? You know as well as I do that most of the pitching they picked up dumpster dives, roster churn moves and Hudson and now Hicks have been very strong , Taylor has improved from last year,Burke has too as has Martin. They got Houser to work out and got Mead for him and Boston for Mead. Of course Houser changed it around right before the Sox picked him up. They got lucky and TX was the dummies right ? They have got decent value from Fedde twice. Schultz is close to 23 now ? OMG he's washed up. Shane Smith was a great pickup until he regressed. So was Vasil until he got injured. Yet there are those who still happily rip the Sox a new one about Mead or rip Gonzo to shreds until they traded him and now it becomes they could've used him for a starting pitcher he's was so valuable. Didn't Callis say the he thought the Pirates overpaid ? Getz is only about to reach his 1st 3 years as GM on August 31st. Still churning the roster but less room at the inn.

Which quote are you referencing ? Youre not telling me it was medical personel. Never saw you say that. Was any of this used in a court of law on malpractice cases ? Otherwise its useless in building any kind of case. Nameless sources giving irrelevant opinions.

This is mostly heresay . You're not talking to medical experts and if the Sox WERE behind who cares now ? Again youre talking about playing shorthanded. Those are roster decisions not medical.
