I’d like to see us sign Trevor Bauer. Hell, he’d pitch for free and would not only give us another powerful starting pitcher but he would help elevate our entire staff. The dude got a bad wrap and has been throwing darts. He’s also like having a pitching ninja secondary coach on your staff. Make that move, bring in an actual DH, call up B Mont later in the year, bring Teel up, and we would be a legit threat to win it all.

Every post in this thread gets a 🔥 THATS HOW MUCH FUCKING HEAT THIS TEAM IS BRINGING!!! DON’T STOP NOW BOYS!!!

Where’s the people who were talking s%*# about Sam’s baseball IQ?

No sure if it’s been mentioned or not about this female umpire… but come on man, if we’re having women behind the plate or out in the field can we at least make sure they’re sixes at a minimum. This chick looks like a troll. 😆

One can hope and pray 😆

Acunia’s stats still aren’t even as good as Rikuu‘s disadvantages against LHP. 😆

If the dude can’t throw an 0-2 ball in the dirt with a runner on third, then he shouldn’t be in the show. I really have no problem with the pitch selection and bet that if he’s called on to make that pitch again, he will execute it. Sometimes the most important lessons come through pain - right?

Often times people ( especially on the internet ) become keyboard warriors and act as authority figures when in reality they have little actual insight to offer. It’s easier to judge a play while sitting on a couch and reviewing a situation in slow motion. Some also don’t have actual playing experience too. Otherwise, those who have played the game tend to see things differently. Sam, Riku, Mune, and Will are all pros. They’ll all get better from the loss and will continue to grow. That’s what gives hope for the future. We’re no longer stuck with arrogant flashy show boats like Moncada or deflective putts like Grifol. 😆 Hopefully today we’ll get back on track and will be treated to a surprising debut that can bring even more excitement for the better days this franchise has entered. Go Sox!

It’s a coin toss between either of those options and both likely get the same result if executed correctly.

Exactly. Pitch selection wasn’t poor but the execution of that pitch was deplorable and warranted the result.

“I just came up in the last at-bat, and I had my chances and I couldn’t convert them,” Murakami said. “I could have hit that flyout and scored a run. I just have to keep practicing and contribute as much as possible to the team.” That is a leader, boys and girls.

Would be curious to see the odds of Riku getting that down at of 10 more simulations. I’m not digging this one at all… chalking it up to Will being a young manager and also not knowing his player as well as he thinks, perhaps.

🤦🏻‍♂️ I was saying you were being gas lit 🤦🏻‍♂️ Even still man, you can’t ingenuously say your post wasn’t political… “sleepy joe”… “Come on man!” 😆😆

I thought the exact opposite and told both my son and my Dad, “What a brilliant player, he’s trying to avoid the tag in a split second moment to give the runner enough time to score.” Go Sox - Go Sam!

Welcome to Soxtalk As a life long Sox fan who has seen generations of this team spanning nearly half a century, Sam has been my favorite player so far this season. So happy he is on our team and I’m hopeful that he will be a Southsider for many years to come. Congrats to the kid, he deserves it and I’ll be rooting for him along with you for his career.

Gaslighting 101 👎🏻😆

Yea - 2026 prices for everything sucks. It’s been awful being a consumer since “COVID”.

Back to the Hall of Fame List you go. Boy, second chancers have not lasted long. Go figure.

Sure hope so. He’s unfortunately been sad. Found one online to order when I can some day… https://rotowear.com/products/murakami-sama-shirt?_pos=2&_sid=85830ed4c&_ss=r

I MUST HAVE ONE

Oh snap - this is quite enough for me to feel better after a tough loss. Would LOVE having Mune around for the next 10 years.

Those are fighting words.

Ah - well, with all of this BS “interference” ruling, baseball is soft now so it’s par for the course.

I missed all of that hanging with hi8is jr - what are was everyone talking about instead?

It was a decent pitch selection but the location was butchered. Needed to be burried in the dirt.
