Timmy U

I am going down to catch a game in Kanny near the end of June, maybe he’ll be there by then.

A thread complaining about all the threads that complain too much. Most Soxtalk thing ever! Seriously, RH hyped a “championship window” then built a team that is .500 over its last 120 games while also being nearly unwatchable. He deserves criticism even if all of us were as stupid as he is, which we weren’t. Frankly, complaining about them is the only joy most of us get out of watching this dull and listless team. Please do not begrudge us our simple pleasures.

The lack of pitching depth in their entire system is a huge concern, especially when you consider how unlikely it is that they pay any of Giolito, Kopech, or Cease.

Fixed it for you.

Timmy!

2 in a row! They are on fire with RISP

13 IP 0R 7H 4bb between our 2 starters today. 1 run of support.

1-11 wRISP now. I truly hate this edition of the team.

1-9 wRISP, 0-3 in getting the sac fly. Pretty amazing, actually.

This team is amazing wRISP. Worst I can remember.

Severino is definitely getting calls Kopech is not.

That reason? Sins I committed in a previous life. Cuz clearly watching him hit is some level of hell. That said, still has a higher OPS than Leury.

Colas can really hit line drives to left field. That's gonna make him fairly dangerous.

Sox offense coming out on fire.

Terrell Tatum is really swinging it lately. He's not old for the level. Could he be a pleasant surprise as a 16th rounder? I've got to imagine that with COVID there are going to be a lot of surprises/disappointments for every team in the last couple of drafts.

Everybody have a good day, I gotta get on with my life.

I live in NYC. Should have scheduled the game for 10 am. It's gonna be hot, and I have to go to an outdoor wedding. Pray for me. And for anyone who thinks they could have played last night... the city is still drying out. We have gotten a lot of rain this week. I'm sure the field was unplayable.

Jose Rodriguez's best position is 2b as well, and Ramos has played some over there. 2b is NOT the hardest spot to fill. Except for the White Sox who have struggled filling it since Iguchi? Ray Durham?

I am pretty sure you can promote Sosa without hiring Ozzie, but I appreciate the ambition.

I was kidding in another thread by quoting Jim Mora, but seriously, what indication is there that this is a playoff team? Blind faith? They've been .500 since last July in a sample size > 100 games. This is beginning to look like who they are. To me, baseball's a lot like hockey: Don't tell me who your 5 best players are, tell me the 5 worst guys who get a lot of playing time. Half the Sox roster won't be in MLB 2 years from now. They're 29th in runs scored and can't defend. Their starting pitching has been good, but they can't strike out 27 guys a night. Cease ducking the Yankees is fine. It'll help him in arbitration after they finish 82-80.

Don’t look now but Mieses has an OPS over .800 and is hitting .290 with some pop. He’s coming on.

Playoffs?! Don’t talk about playoffs. You kidding me?!

Hall of Fame baseball person.

Since the middle of last July, including playoffs, Sox are 52-52. Maybe they're a .500 team?

Okay, they only scored one run, but the true measure of pathetic is NO at bats with RISP.
