Could see that.

I don’t see them doing it mid road trip. It was either last Wed / Thur, or probably not happening until after the season. Getz isn’t even in Mpls.

Send Wilson back to Charlotte. He’s been ass, and he’s gotta be like a week away from another year of control.

Let’s give him a little more rope before we make these kinds of declarations.

When you’re going bad, you’re going bad. Castro should have struck out on a check swing where he clearly went, and then boom, game over. Not that it’d have mattered anyway, Sox aren’t scoring in the 9th.

Luis down bad right now. Tough to watch

I can think of a ton reasons to.

Crochet is very erratic today. Making me nervous

I prefer the always injured version.

Every start?

Shut crochet down. He’s a rocking time bomb right now. Cash in your winnings FFS.

I suppose the one thing that could change that is JRs death or a sale of the franchise.

There is simply a 0% chance of this happening. Is not even worth the brain power. Like it or not, Getz is the GM for at least the next half decade.

He’ll probably throw 4 innings tops. Who is gonna get the other 15 outs?

It’s his elbow. They would have said so if it was hip, I would imagine.

Common precursor to TJS.

From MLBTR write up: The Sox are surely more interested in his Triple-A output. Last year, he logged 33 1/3 innings for Triple Oklahoma City with a 2.16 ERA while striking out 29.3% of opponents and giving out walks just 6% of the time. This year, the results haven’t been as nice, but with a lot of bad luck. In 32 2/3 innings at Triple-A in 2024, he has a .372 batting average on balls in play and 18.5% home run per flyball rate, which undoubtedly helped produce his 53.1% strand rate. The 7.99 ERA isn’t pretty but his 23.8% strikeout rate, 8.6% walk rate and 44.3% ground ball rate are all decent metrics.

Not good. Berroa recalled

Since everyone loves to point out when former Sox do well, Fedde is getting smoked in his first Cards start. 5 ER and he’s not thru the 2nd inning.

Ehhh if the axe was gonna fall imminently, they’d have canned him before the road trip.

Optioned to AAA

I am always down to piss in the Twins bowl of Cheerios. Go Sox, win a series.

Id give Eloy maybe 2 weeks tops on that roster before he’s DFA. They have better options and won’t have nearly the patience the Sox had with his shenanigans.

They did save ~$3.5M, but yah. I mean, no one should be surprised. The fact they found someone to even eat that much is frankly shocking.
