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.

Hopefully soon someone realizes you really can't roster 26 David Ecksteins, because it sure feels like we are trying to do so.

We have to make sure Nicky Lopez gets his ABs too.

We are just so baseball stupid.

Have you met Caulfield?

Yeah that bridge is burnt down.

A new offense and a new bullpen. Easy peasy.

A walk every 4+ innings is a perfectly fine rate.

It's funny we went from hiring Getz to save a year, yet here we are refusing to do any development or evaluations.

Honestly? The stats the kids put up don't really matter. It's about getting them playing time, evaluating them, and seeing what they can give you.

He had put up a .704 OPS when he was playing regularly. Not great, but WAY better than most of the rest of the roster.

No one is trading for Eloy

Ask yourself who is connected to TLR.

Kopech got a gift there.

He will get more consistent around his pitches with experience and that extreme extremeness will fade away.

That's why everyone in the minors has a K/9 rate of 12+.

Also great to see Thorpe look better

Nicky couldn't have gotten any luckier.

He hit it.
