Gyodd........ lets see if Lucas can pitch over this

Shank job duck snort city

Chris bassitt he was a piece in the semien smardzija deal. Made a few starts for the sox

Nice hook

I honestly forgot about Bassitt

Nice velo guys having late swings

Another run due to defense

I know I might be an outlier, but I don’t think that can be just turned on when we’re suddenly ready to compete

This is how quick you can lose a game terrible fundamental baseball

I have a hard time becoming invested in Shields starts knowing he’s not a long term piece. I know trade value.

I would love for the Sox to get Machado or Harper. I just think that’s a reach at this point. It’s like applying to a dream job for which your only marginally qualified or getting a date with the prettiest woman you’ve ever seen-worth a shot, but not likely to go your way. Regardless of what Hahn said about the franchise being aggressive the sox have no history of awarding these types of contracts. The sox are not yet at a competitive point to appeal to either guy. These guys aren’t Buehrle or Konerko there going to be looking to maximize their market value. The sox more realistically are probably more likely to succeed at Michael Brantley, AJ Pollock, one of the closers due to their injury histories. Even so that will probably be an overpay. Which I’m fine with. Free agency entails a lot of risk. Your giving significant contracts to players the other side of 30, and hoping they don’t physically fall off a cliff. The 2020 free agent classs also has some guys that could help the team out at that point as well. Though that class seems pitcher heavy, Sale, Gerrit Cole, Verlander who has rediscovered the fountain of youth, and Cole Hamels to a lesser degree.

You know sale could lose a whole 5 mph of his fastball and still be nasty. If he wants to hang on forever he could probably be a LOOGY with that drop down and side arm release point.

yea we could never draft and develop a guy like this

Covey looking sharp

98 down the shoot- no chance

Yes without those two DPs on two hard hit balls put in play who knows.

Yea walking the tightrope. Let’s see how long a leash he has in the 4th. The DP saved him last inning.

There’s a break.......... momentarily.

I nderstand it’s a developmental year, but at some point this has to be counterproductive. Hes not even close now completely out of whack like fathom said.

Good to see Davidson back. Hopefully the back issues don’t linger.

way to recover Lucas

Lucky there an out but hit like a rocket

Giolito on the bump. Maybe last chance to avoid the Charlotte shuttle.

Phew.... that makes much more sense. Thank You

I love what Hostetler has done overall, but good god if they would have picked Pilkington @ 4 over the other talent on the board including Madrigal I would have been pretty discouraged in thinking this is the correct group of evaluators to oversee this franchise.
