Last year was easy for them. Teams that clinched early didn't go far. That is like a curse. I guess this year is growing pains and groin strains. Is there any other team as brittle?

Who are the players to tune in to watch. I have the MiLB sub and not really onto watching the Sox as of late. I guess team record in the minors is not as important as individuals. So who are the ones to watch?

Even up for Tanner Banks. Otherwise we don't need anymore players that need to be treated like glass. https://cubbiescrib.com/2022/05/29/cubs-looking-to-hit-the-reset-button-on-nick-madrigal/?fbclid=IwAR2FteL1k7cS2LapsDFfiH9IpFKhDiVx-t4k7TK8TNu--eKHM7VYhkhg8RU

That's down the street from me a few miles. There are times I want to go watch but outdoor baseball in 105 weather at night kinda makes it unappealing.

Ugh, like he did with the pen last year?

It's like the KW lightning in a bottle.

That happens with a lot of players/organizations. The Sox had plenty of those.

I call him Tanner "who makes every hitter look like Ernie" Banks.

The coulda woulda shoulda threads are annoying. They do nothing, The one I look back on is what could they have gotten for the no tradable Scott Ruffcorn who was a bust.

They don't have anything to give up. Many teams can make trades if their farm system is stocked/ The bullpen weakness last season was addressed and didn't work. They have yet to see NL talent doesn't work for them. It's like trying to buy a gallon of milk and only have a nickle. They only thing they have left is the free agent market.

This isn't a performance based organization. You forget who the owner is.

That's pretty much for every baseball team with long contracts with players in their 30's.

It sounded like are you sheeting me.

Plus you need a guy with speed at the plate.

Starters going for more Ks than innings exposes the overrated pen.

I don't think much will improve in this organization until there is new ownership. Even the large markets teams treat scouting and development as a priority. They don't always litter their organization with former players. Some odd resewn fans are for this. I guess though there is more improvement in some areas with drafting and development. They still think career NL players will make an immediate impact which seems to fail.

I think it was a knee jerk reaction by the FO. Bringing someone from the NL to face unfamiliar hitters expecting immediate success doesn't work for the Sox.

His career was in the NL. You are facing pitcher you've hardly ever seen and in unfamiliar stadiums.

The careers are getting even shorter among hard throwers. I think under Katz it's more about Ks instead of innings.

If that ever happens to me I'll let you guys know how it feels.

Bring back Don Cooper.

Not surprised since he went back to the league he is most successful.

So what happened to Kanny? They started crushing teams. Now they are the Corsican brothers of Sox.

Unfortunately cruising to a division title seems to be a curse in the post season.

Tony thinks so.
