Really need to start worrying about the offense. Through today offense average down to .217 and obp at .265. 15 walks and 67ks with only 25 runs in 9 games. 2.78 runs per game. 3 players over .300, 4 players at .200+ and 6 players below .200. Not good
Good reports from minors on Jake Petricka. Wouldn't officially rejoin club until Monday at earliest says Robin Ventura bc he throws Sat. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/589075560170553344

I know the slider is one of the pitches that puts alot of wear on the arm. That's why the sox were trying to get sale to cut back and go with other pitches and guessing trying to get rodon to cut back on his as well
I know when sale came back last year from injury the sox were trying to get him to use less of the slider and more changeups and fastballs.

dang it, i forgot about him.
btw, do you think he will address the power numbers many posters love to see??
He's still pretty young but looks like alot to work on offensively. Figuring he's only hit 13 home runs in 717 plate appearances might not help.

imo, the sox need to suck it up and address this in the draft. obviously Davidson is not the answer for the future. need a 2 - 3 yr fix until the draft pick will be making a name for himself.
They do have trey michalczewski who is their 8th top prospect at 3b

Matt Wieters and Evan Longoria I can see as targets.
I can't see the sox who are trying to build up their farm system which has been horrible for a while and turn around to empty out it to get longoria. Wieters would be trade a bunch of prospects and turn around and possibly loose him after the season when he hits free agency cause his agent is boras. Would be better to go after him in the offseason when he's a free agent.

That team was the best, so many good memories. I went to that third game against the Indians in mid September when the Indians cut the division lead to 1.5 games. Probably the most depressing game I have ever attended as a Sox fan. Was also at the second to last game of the year in cleveland after the sox beat them in the first two of the series and could knock them out of the playoffs with a sweep. I remember taking the train back to my girlfriends house after the game and the Indians fans talking mad s***. They were so pissed they might not make the playoffs. Stuff like you guys aren't going to make it out of the first round of the playoffs, you guys are overrated, etc. I didn't say much at the time didn't want to start something just responded with "we'll see." Last laugh was on them
The Sox were 2.5 games ahead after that Cleveland series in chicago. Sox lead was cut to 1.5 games when they were playing the twins and Cleveland was playing kc. Sept 22-24 is when sox lead was only 1.5

A rainout tonight would make it Danks Noesi Sale this weekend? That would set up the rotation everyone expected it to be after they got shark
Shark is still Saturday and Sunday is sale.
