No, that's about all we've got going for us right now

Robert is gonna hit 40 homers with basically no help on offense.

I don't doubt that they have their own internal valuation framework. It seems to favor relievers and marginal utility players, though, so it sucks.

$4/56M was "more than you're worth" to JR. $14M/year. 11 bWAR in 4 years with MIA and TOR, 2.75 bWAR average per year. Roughly $8M per WAR at that time, so Buehrle was worth about $22M/year. JR is a moron.

Good. Keep cycling through these guys. Drop dead weight in AAA.

Yeah that was bad managing. Scholtens was wild and was hanging his curve. He was clearly done. He's not an ace pitcher who can gut through that. Get 6 good innings from him and run with it.

I think Scholtens is done

Wait, Moncada can still hit homers?!

Seems like it. I'd really like to see the Sox cycle that dead weight at AAA/on the 40 man more. Put in claims on every DFA and release and see what you can do.

No way! You need to spend at LEAST half your payroll on relievers to have any success.

Hopefully precautionary/very short term for Robert

As half greasy gabagool I am offended

Stayed the whole time. Cease didn’t have that decisive blow I expected. Offense showed up well.

Sitting in the parking lot. Did not expect to see a win. Happy to be wrong.

We’ll, I didn’t expect to see THIS outcome in person…

I think he’s saying some of the guys who were traded contributed to the problems they had. Maybe that’s true, but so far they haven’t fixed s%*#.

Huh. Could have sworn I saw some things when he signed here, but it’s hard to find now with the focus being on his recent comments.

Isn’t it well known that Middleton likes to run his mouth? I’m not doubting they have clubhouse issues and a lack of accountability, but I’m taking it all with a grain of salt. Maybe Middleton should’ve taken some naps to help get back on track when he started sucking.

Ramirez is just salty his team lost the season series to this group of misfits.

I’m gonna be there. I expect to leave early to beat traffic after Cease throws 90 pitches in 4 innings and gives up 5 runs (with a crushing 3 run homer by Stanton after it looked like he could get out of the jam with minimal damage), while Cole strikes out 15 in 7 innings.

Kenny was right about Beckham’s swing
