Does a universe exist where the Sox win the wild card and then beat Cleveland in the playoffs? That would be hilarious

So many bad contracts i dont even know where to start. A wet dream would be to see the expensive deadweight like Leury gone, but its not going to happen especially after biting the bullet on Keuchel and missing out on playoff revenue.

I heard the ownership group is as old or even older than JR.. we will probably just get another one just like him.

I think Cleveland is going to be even better next season and thats without making any free agent additions to their club. Do you see any bad contracts other than Shaw? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/cleveland-guardians/payroll/ EVERYONE Is either in ARB or PREARB, its crazy how good their front office is, mind blowing. To say its all because of Ramirez is just wrong in my opinion.

Ive been having fun with https://www.tankathon.com/mlb Simmed it about 20 times and got the Sox the #1 pick, and the #3 pick. It would be bedlam here if that happened

Good way to look at it. Good post

Good, they deserve it

It is pretty clear that the window is CLOSED. Cleveland pitching will always be dominant, we are seeing Cleveland young hitters starting to put together good OPS numbers with the more experience they are getting, one of the best bullpens in baseball. Their farm system is still ranked one of the best with an absurd number of top 100 prospects. Anyone think we will be relevant in 2 years? I am not feeling optimistic at all. Our farm is trash, our roster is old, crippling contracts all over, the FO is clueless and cant evaluate talent, injury prone players and no depth. It just feels like we are going to be .500 at best for the next 2-3 years until Hahn once again rebuilds. Yes it will be Hahn, because Jerry will outlive us all and thats how its going to be.

Sox medical staff and Hahn should be replaced based on this perplexing handling of Robert. Absolutely absurd.

The money was spent by Hahn, just not in a way that makes any sense.

We have a 4% chance of winning the wildcard, SO THERES A CHANCE... but im also hoping we lose every game from here on out just to see Hahn squirm. Worst GM in the league

This is actually really interesting and it makes me wonder if this is Cleveland's analytics team realizing the importance of speed and putting together an offense to support that or if it was just happenstance. Very interesting stuff. None of these players blow you away except for Ramirez but there is definitely an intimidation factor when going through the Guardians lineup. I felt that way at least.

Ill say it, other than Naylor (who i would love to have on the Sox), the Guardians are an incredibly likeable team.

I stopped watching after the first. Did the fans boo?

Cleveland would have turned Madrigal into Tony Gwinn

Fans should be booing this whole game

LOL

lol Sox so unfocused, get rid of Grandal and Moncada please

True, but defense translates easily. I would have liked to see Colas come up when Robert was clearly needing an IL stint that never happened. Engel cost us quite a bit this season.

Robert should have been placed on the IL and Colas should have come up during his ball mashing at AA. How many games have Robert and Engel cost us in the second half?

Its unbelievable how many people still defend Hahn

Reminder: Lambert was put into the game in the 7th inning even though our better bullpen pieces were available.

Hahn's amazing bullpen additions tonight: 1.1 IP, 4 runs edit: 5 runs

im going to bed
