That didn’t take long.

They suck so hard right now. Hard to watch.

Spoke too soon. Wright just gave up 3 runs.

Who on this team are you not talking about?

Does every single Sox hitter have a weakness for the slider from righthanders?

Ha ha. Better to be lucky than good.

Wright continues to throw well. Maybe he could grab a spot start or two?

Man, they are making the worst pitchers in mlb look like Cy Young right now.

Yeah, I am saying this proves Sox regret Madrigal pick

Wow. Did not see this coming. Madrigal was really turning it on before the injury. Burger to third, Moncada back to 2nd? Vaughn at 2nd? Not a lot of value fir the #4 player in the draft.

Great trade for Twins. I think Austin Martin was a man without a position for Jays. Centerfield maybe? I actually don’t love Berrios against anyone but us, so I question the aggressiveness, but Toronto really going for it.

My point is that you would like to have depth. Rodón clearly needs a breather. Maybe Cease too. But if you gave spot starts to Lambert or Stiever, they would get killed. Despite being older prospects, McClure and Bilous aren’t ready either. Thompson, Kelley, and Dalquist have all struggled as well. Nothing to do with Pilkington or Horn. I’m just saying that Sox pitching depth is precariously thin. It might really cost them.

Destino 4-5 with 3 bombs. Maybe time for the 25 year old to try AA. Their bullpen blew it despite 5 HR for WS. The org really needs pitching.

Yes, everyone knows the two biggest New York baseball writer favorites of the last 30 years are Derek Jeter and Cesar Hernandez.

The Sox have so little pitching in the minors. McClure was okay, didn't have much luck tonight. Otherwise, it's just a gasoline brigade of no-name innings eaters there to protect the few arms we have who didn't get to their innings limits last year. It's amazing we were able to find 2 pitchers to actually trade. Decent night for some of the prospects -- Ramos and Rodriguez have two hits each to add to the 2 hits by Sosa and Cespedes. Alex Destino is ultra hot right now. Too bad he's a 25 year-old in A ball.

Also playing the Cubs. Their line up has undergone a transformation as well.

One of the most pathetic road trips in my memory. Naturally I had the week off, so I could watch all of it.

Oh, then this may be a very bad acquisition.

How the hell is that a strike?

Is that game over with this line up?

Why would we move our starting 2nd baseman to RF?

Funny that they gave up a bona fide pitching prospect to get AV's defensive replacement at 2b.

You have to release him BECAUSE he just had surgery. You can't DFA him. He would have to on the 60 day IL and get MLB salary/service time.

Take that, people who thought playing Burger there was a stretch.

I would be interested in what Future Sox guys say about Pilkington. His velocity is up, he’s had some success in a pitcher’s park in Birmingham. I would put him in the 15-20 range with McClure and Bilious. My fear is that Steiver and Lambert do not look like useful depth for the rotation. Pilkington was one of a handful of guys who could give you that next year. Off-season, Sox may want to trade upper level power prospects for upper level pitching depth.
