I think this is the hardest position to fill in baseball. Will we ever see another Munson or Fisk?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) We have seen around MLB that the market for guys who can JUST hit isn't there anymore, even if they are still pretty solid hitters. I am sure that there just isn't anyone offering a lot for Jose Abreu, and because of that the Sox feel he is better served as a leader and mentor. If they were offered a big return for him, he'd be gone too 1B/DH won't get any value from the NL as far as prospects.

Let's see if the pen can be scoreless for 2 days.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) I don't think the argument is good vs. bad. I think it's solid aging DH vs. elite piece we could trade for a huge return. I think that would have happened by now. I have no problem with keeping him for the rebuild.

How did Soto go from ROY to this?

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 06:36 PM) because it was in a newspaper(and website) Not really a valid answer isn't it? Someone in the media got bored or needed attention.

1st time I watched where the pen did not give up a run.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) Damn. Funny how quickly an outing can turn. After two wasted innings the wheels were going to come off somehow.

OK let's ruin this inning with a bunt.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Meanwhile I like what I'm seeing from Giolito The Twins lineup disagrees.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 11:34 PM) I love all the excuses for the Sox. He was rushed. We should have lost 2 more games so we could have taken who we really wanted. How bout the fact our system does not develop players??? I'd prefer keeping Carson on the big league team the rest of the year just to work with Cooper. Cooper who is arguably the BEST pitching coach can watch him, assess him and tell him what the f*** he needs to do in the offseason to reach his potential. No minor league coach can help Fulmer. It's Cooper and Cooper is the BIG LEAGUE pitching instructor. Cmon Sox ... don't send the kid back down. Have Cooper work with him for gawd sakes. Great post Greg! I do wonder if maybe guys are being brought up too soon and also afraid to send them back down for a week or two.

I see Avi still hittin now at .314. It's odd to see them win a game 3-2. The way the lineup is producing it doesn't have that stink of a rebuild. The pen has no shortage of mental midgets.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) https://sports.yahoo.com/byron-buxton-shows...-192913367.html This Buxton inside the park hr is tons more exciting than all the action after the first...Twins and Angels tied for second wild card, btw. Guess we will see if Moncada can top it...definitely won't be at Guaranteed Rate unless the fielder goes down like Mazara on the Delmonico bid. Those teams are barely over .500 as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) This is embarrassing. I'm asking myself why I'm still watching.

Nice t see that Avi is still over .300. Who waitin fr the wheels t come off?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 10:53 PM) Nice Team needed a W Can't lose them all. And congrats to Juan M. I've enjoyed watching this lineup. There aren't a lot of pretty stats but they seem to produce compared to having it littered with veterans. I just hate the way they lose with a pen you want investigated for throwing games.

Time for bullpen implosion.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) Our lineup legit doesn't suck. Might have the worst bullpen of all time. Fun times. That's the frustrating part of watching these games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 12:12 AM) Yeah Petricka is pathetic. Renteria goingng back to those guys a day after they imploded is ridiculous as well. Nice loss Hopefully when this rebuild provides results in being more competitive I hope they invest in a serious managerial search. I hate a loss like this. This Sox played great until the pen comes in. Isn't there some guys in AAA that will never make it that they could bring up that may not get shelled as bad?

I want to punch the pen in the nuts.

So which guy in the pen blows it this time.

Is there any young players worth checking out at the rookie summer league?

Large amounts of hair seems to be a NL thing.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) Damn feel like it's been FOREVER since I last saw a sox pickoff #54 was great at it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) I do like Bennetti, but he's killing poor Rowand with all the questions and jokes tonight. I'm listening to the Dodgers broadcast.
