Imagine if he is replaced by another former Royal

winning is a habit

It is but the Brewers put that theory away. They have yet to win a World Series but look at the trades they made or let players go. They still win, Winning is a habit. So is losing.

That's the way I see it. Getz got lucky with previous trades.

LOL just LOL. Oh no I'm turning into West Eddy

So does the current team. Such knee jerk reactions for a player who has only played a little over a full season. It gets serious if he can't field his position. There's probably another Castillo out there the Sox think they can resurrect

I might not even bother with the AFL this year.

LOL the mental illness of trade frenzy. Hoping for that Stevie Wonder GM. We have that already.

Like winning is a habit. I have to wonder if this becomes a failure and not even a wildcard will the fans lose interest?

I guess no one has noticed the farm is empty. One or 2 players doesn't make a great farm system. It would be nice to have a revolving door of talent. Not many teams do. We might see short term success and long term failure as usual. Not spending money will bring us back to not having nice things. They are not the Brewers.

they haven't had a real losing streak either

We thought that with the Kopech trade. If could be Getz is hoping next season will be better for Castillo

and not one of them is in a Sox uniform

That would make sense if they were a playoff team last year or a team full of veterans. We'd feel a lot better if they were 6-10 games out. "Hey at least we didn't lose 100 this year."

maybe this organization has a false sense of fixing pitchers

Maybe Castillo brings us back to how clueless this organization is. Then again this season wasn't expected.

Leave Castillo in for 5 even if he gives up 20. Just put it down as an L.

This team kinda reminds me of the 77 Sox. I still remember Fracisco Barrios was 14-7 with an ERA over 4. Back then an ERA in the 4's were bad pitchers.

the cupboard is bare it seems, would be nice to have a revolving door of talent thru drafting instead of trades

Fixed it for you

Hopefully is doesn't wear out after today.

trying to make the least predictable sport more predictable the bigger issue is the mound

I think it's a smokescreen. If one is not a baseball fan they could care less. I think it is different with the NFL. I think gambling is more popular than the game. Rare to see those gambling commercials that feature baseball.

We like to think we are a fly on the wall with these negotiations. We haven't the slightest clue what went on. We want to believe the myth the farm system is on the level of other organizations. It's a big difference trading for a World Series which maybe having at least 2 Skubals might do it. There's a reality ignored that much of this Sox lineup came from other farm systems. I have to agree with the arrogance part. Unfortunately it's hard for a GM to avoid that midseason trade deadline just to make a trade. We should start a I Take My Apology Back to Getz thread. I still don't understand that trade with the Pirates.

I'd feel better if the Sox can get a field goal. Meanwhile looking at the box score evert TX pitcher gave up at least a run. Hopefully Sox don't try to match that.
