And this is exactly why many Sox fans Don't see this as a playoff team for a really long time.

So your comparison of Os to Sox was fine, but coming after yours, his was out of line... lol. And also for the record the Sox are still burying any hitting prospects in a historically awful season. Give me the Orioles struggles over this dumpster fire of a situation any day.

To be fair he doubled the hiring pool. It used to be ex-Sox. Getz added ex-Royals to that pool.

We are 37 games under .500. We need to creep through .300, then creep through .400, before we creep through. 500. Let's be honest here, the next time we even think about .500 is when we are 0-0 to start 2025.

Another 80 games, give or take, will take care of that.

Nah, we've been way lower than this

21 hours later...

But we will be a playoff team in no time!

We can't even play young position players every day, let alone pump them out

There is zero chance the Sox get Kjerstad for Fedde when the Os weren't willing to do it for Cease

Translation: He's still not 100%

Only if you include Crochet.

There it is.

Bold of you to assume there is a plan.

Its wild to see how much money Getz has wasted even just on guys he signed, played for a couple of weeks, and then cut. This alone is WAY more than 2 years of Pedro, and that is without getting into the wastes on bad signings.

There is zero chance the Sox pay Eloy and Yoan anything but their buyout past this season.

This team is 36 games under .500 with career seasons from Fedde and Crochet on the first full day of summer. Do you know how hard it is to be basically 30 games out of first place before July? And now I have to hear how a 15 game stretch at a winning percentage of .400, you know one that would yield 64 wins over a full season, somehow means has hope? Look I know some people don't want to believe what is right in front of them, but this is the personification of a dumpster fire, and in the middle of it all, we aren't even taking advantage of it to do any sort of meaningful player evaluations or kids learning on the job. I am pretty sure if on March 15th you asked me to describe a worst case scenario for 2024, that I would not have come up with something THIS bad.

A month from now 2 of those starters will have new homes, maybe more if Flexen goes with like he should.

Schultz gets here maybe in late 26. The innings thing is going to hold him back. Quero really should go through AAA. Honestly none of them should be here this season.

This seems important, especially when shortly this team will be sans DeJong, Fedde, Crochet, Robert and anyone else of value.
