Who cares about WAR?

19 starts last year. 12 of them quality. Only gave up more than 4 ERs twice, and only in his sole disaster outing of the year did he fail to pitch five innings. Dude will give us a decent chance to win every time he goes out.

Dylan Covey gave us one QS in 12. We were pretty much finished in several of his starts before we even came to bat. He’s DONE.

Ross Detwiler gave us two QS in 12. He’s DONE.

Despaigne, Santana, and Banuelos gave us one QS in 14. There’s four QS in 38 games. And it’s not like they were just failing to reach the six inning mark to have QS; those five gave up four or more ER in 21 of their starts. They’re DONE.

Keuchel eliminates all of them. And he’s reliable, unlike Ryu. Too many people on here think we need an ace. No- arguably, we already have one in Lucas. We now just need people to add to the potent but untested youth who will give us a chance to win and keep the uninteresting (for us fans) and disastrous (for our W-L) pitchers off the mound.

Dallas and Gio do that just fine.

Very well said IMO. Dallas is going to give this improved offense a fair to good chance to win every 5th day.

I think people are being a little too reactive to every single deal it seems, or miss... but I am a bit worried seeing these tier 3 guys come off the board now. Hopefully the Sox are working on & close with one of the pitchers in this tier.

Texas also has no state income tax, so the Sox could have been the higher bidder and still been behind Texas,  

Yeah Bob didn't totally confirm, but he said something about taxes and a new stadium... haha

BTW, Bob Night just said the Sox had high bid for Lyles as well on the Sox Talk live podcast from SD w/ Chuck & others

Can you post?

There are a few more responses to that original tweet as well

Zack Wheeler's brother has tweeted ChiSoxFanMike quite a few times today... probably means nothing but kinda interesting

It's free. Usually a little bit different each year.

 

The party is in the bullpen patio bar in RF and they have all you can eat ribs, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, side with Miller products and pop. You get to walk on the outfield and in the visitors' clubhouse. There is some random assortment of t-shirts and memorabilia for sale usually at a discounted price. Lots of photo opps and a decent way to spend an afternoon. I have done it probably a handful of times and will probably go to another one in the future.

 

Thanks I will for sure be going!

Hey everybody, first time poster, been reading for awhile... Anyways I am a season ticket holder (14 games) for the first time this year and was wondering if someone could give me more information on the Grinder Bash. I know it is a season ticket holder party. Is it free? What exactly goes on there? Thanks and Go Sox!
