I still want as many of those bullets spent in the majors as possible.

I disagree. Arms and elbows have a certain number of bullets in them before they’re done for good. I want as many as those bullets spent in the majors as possible. A good example of this is Zack Burdi. A lot of people said that he could pitch in the majors right after being drafted as a reliever. Maybe the Sox were wrong not to rush his development. He’s not a starter who needed a third pitch or something.

I think you have to throw service time concerns out the window when it comes to pitchers. They’re so fragile. I think you have to almost treat like NFL teams treat running backs. Get what you can out of their arms and move on.

I need Will Smith on this team next year regardless of what happens with Colomé.

How I feel watching that game deep in Cubs territory. Poetic Justice

Collins coming up is another “win” for the scouting and player development staff but I think that the Sox were wrong to keep him at C. I felt they should’ve moved him to 1B as soon as they drafted him so that he could purely focus on his bat and swing, which was why he was a top ten pick. The reviews have never been glowing about him behind the plate and now we’re talking about someone who can be a fill in catcher instead of an everyday one or even a backup. It’s not crazy to think that he would’ve been up last year if they just let him focus on the bat.

I’d also like the Sox to use Kopech similar to how Seattle uses Kikuchi in order to limit his innings. They use him as an opener every fifth start, not letting him pitch more than an inning. I’d like to see the Sox do that with Kopech or they could just skip him every fourth or fifth start to start the season

I would like for the Sox to sign two of Cole (wishful thinking), Bumgarner, Lyles, Wheeler, and Wood. Another rebound guy could be Cahill or Chris Archer (who I think is a bad idea for the park).

What about Alonso? He’s totally redundant with Collins here.

WAR isn’t really a good stat towards relievers.

Yeah an outfielder would be nice, but so would a SP but I think the Sox should throw need out of the window and just take the best package they can get for Colomé.

Teams looking for closers/bullpen help: Braves, Phillies, Red Sox, Rays, and the Dodgers. The Cubs are too but they said they’re looking for a LHP

Is it? Can’t blame the Sox for wanting to move on, his career with them was very inconsistent. I do think that not trading him after 2017 is one of the rebuild biggest missed opportunities

A pink slip?

Ruiz is quietly elite. Not a loud athlete and he doesn’t have loud tools but he has an amazing eye at the plate and amazing OBP skills and he doesn’t strike out.

I never said Dahl was a white nationalist/men’s rights supporter. I said he used the same excuse (or some variation of that) that those people use you press them and ask them to defend their actions. If you can’t see the obvious racist and homophobic tones of the Disco Sucks movement and Disco Demolition Night, thats on you. I’m going to take a shot in the dark and assume you’re white and if that’s the case, I don’t want to hear you or any other white person tell me whether something is racist (or homophobic) or not. I just had a non white person tell me that it’s okay for non blacks to use the n word as an term of endearment. That’s something you and them don’t get to decide. And pleas don’t bring up Dahl’s intent, intent doesn’t always matter, what matters is the result and that movement and night is nothing to celebrate.

Happ and Nova have near identical FIPs of 5.18 and 5.19

Wait you’re saying that there’s nothing racist about a group of white people banding together to celebration the destruction of work by black, Hispanic and queer artist? What? People coming together to destroy art and culture, is literally a sign of oppression I know Dahl has defended himself from being called a racist and a homophobe but as Vice put it, he’s using the same defense as many alt-right/white nationalist and men’s right supporters. “We were just letting off a little steam. We were just having fun.” Here’s an section from that Vice article: Vince Lawrence, a then-teenaged usher at the event told NPR he was uncomfortable being one of the only Black people at the stadium, and remembered that fans were just bringing LPs by black artists: “[There were] Tyrone Davis records, friggin' Curtis Mayfield records and Otis Clay records. Records that were clearly not disco.” All those artists are black artists. Whatever the the intent, this was obviously not just about disco but also about simmering racial resentment. What planet do you live on?

Let’s see how high the Sox are after the end of this month. Schedule is about to get brutal starting tonight.

Disco Demolition isn’t something to celebrate, especially in a diverse city like Chicago during Pride Month of all months. Disco Demolition was a fearful response to the growing popularity of artist who were either black, hispanic, gay or female. That’s nothing to proud of. It’s rather shameful.

Guys on the team I would trade: Garcia, Yolmer and Colome. I wouldn’t trade McCann, seeing the work he’s done with Giolito, I want to see him work with Cease and Kopech.

How about Jose Urena?

Ricky’s lineup cost the Sox a run there

Renteria is killing the team with these lineups. Anderson, Moncada and Abreu need to bat 1/2/3 everyday.
