No kidding. Shoulder and TJ and a history of middling at best results in between? Sorry, there is little upside here. Just cut bait.

It's only May and it feels sorta like August with all the callups and recycling of bums. Yes blame injuries, but blame once again the complete failure in FA. Yonder got off to a decent start and might be a 1 WAR player (same with Nova) but if that's all you got you did jack shit in FA and would have been better served trying to fill those spots with guys already in the org -- especially given that it's ostensibly a tank year. There's really not much entertaining about this roster outside a handful of youngsters. Pitching wise there is almost nothing to get excited about. It's 2 steps forward and two steps back mostly.

I have no idea if this is true or not but the fact that you ID'd as the only possible where they thought they could find value cracks me up. College relievers are the new moneyball! And yet they won't even consider using an opener. If they are targeting relievers you'd think they'd be open to changing how they use them to get more value.

Engel has been given 857 PA in a White Sox uniform. During that time he has -.6 fWAR and a wRC+ of 57. You gotta be bleepin' me.

tommy John? Bruh they got the bone saw on standby.

Play some fucking d

bannable offense.

It's weird being a fan and actually seeing a semi-competitive club. Kinda forget what actually caring about results feels like.

CB Bucknor, great.

It's the lowest of the virtues imo. Especially in an incredibly cut throat industry filled with smart people. Was Theo "disloyal" to Boston or is he just a genius level IQ seeking another challenge? It's obviously the latter. Loyalty just got Jim Boylen paid tho, so it pays off in these shit orgs run by JR.

Last year the Sox got like 5 fWAR total from their rotation. This year they are on pace for about 10. That's awesome. There has been some development on that front, despite losing Kopech. Gio and Lopez turning into cromulent 3rd and 4th starters is huge.

Loyalty is job requirement #1 in this org. As long as you toe the company line you can suck and stay on the payroll.

Renteria is bad. Really bad. They need a real manager ASAP. Joe Girardi is tanned rested and ready man. Only 54. Plenty of experience. Has won in a much tougher environment.

A lot of freaking out about a guy that over his last 150 innings produced 1.6 fWAR. Carlos Rodon was done as a front line starter the day he went under for shoulder surgery. This setup just further cements his future in the pen on another club. This is not a big step back for the rebuild. The rebuild is still tenuous but this doesn't move the needle much.

Giolito bearing down and hanging in against Price to allow the comeback might be the rare "ra ra" moment I can believe in for a guy. Hopefully he gets some dap and he gains confidence in himself.

OH MY. SUCK IT BOSTON!

Come on Gio just get through this inning. Has been a pretty decent outing against a tough lineup just get out of here unscathed.

damn roast me.

With the Rodon news the Sox can officially point to TA in the last decade as a good 1st round pick. That's it.

Good lord. The ball is juiced beyond belief.

It hardly sets them back at all. This version of Rodon is a 2-3 WAR starter.

Anytime a guy has a sudden breakout at 27-29 it's a possible cause. I was being mostly tongue in cheek but it never surprises me when a pro athlete gets popped for PEDs.

Vitamins.
