There are a decent number of bullpens that are just not very good....not as bad as the White Sox but still not very good. It is absolutely astounding that a major league ballclub cannot score against any of those other bullpens. I know some people here do not want to hear the broken record of fire Getz but the man has absolutely no idea how to evaluate talent. There is no reason he should be employed after this season with the bullpen and offense that he assembled...along with totally screwing the pooch at a trade deadline that was supposed to be a sellers' market.

Just to recap, 100 losses on August 25th is bad.

Agreed

Discovery would be fun but pretty sure it won't get there.

4 Runs in the 9th for the Win???!!!???

100 losses before September will be quite the accomplishment.

Bump back to page 1 where this belongs. I, for one, prefer to take a person at their word. Chris Getz said that he expected to be able to build a team that could compete this season. I don't want to call the man a liar so I am going to assume that he thinks this bullpen was not going to be a trainwreck. I am also going to assume that he thought this offense he put together could actually score runs. Therefore I need to come to the conclusion that Getz has absolutely no idea how to evaluate talent. Add to that the fact that everyone said this trade deadline was an absolute sellers market and he clearly did not take advantage of it. What I think I am trying to say is.....Fire Chris Getz before this gets any worse. Thank you for your time.

Sorry....almost as bad as when I posted last night how the Soxtalk site was going strong.

Progress, not perfection

Cannon with another nice start, huh?

Thank goodness I was a little sad this afternoon.....a world without Soxtalk is a world without Joy.

Sorry all for the delay...making some revisions to convention speech

What took so long??

It seems like every time I see the bullpen blew the game recently, I pull up the boxscore and see Leone's name with numbers after it that make me do the Homer Simpson "DOHH!!"

Dave Roberts is gonna freak if this rule applies to the playoffs....I've never seen a guy make more pitching changes, except maybe Ricky in Oakland

Without his veteran leadership, they might have had the worst record in baseball.....I mean the worsterest record in baseball.

Project Birmingham Chicago.......Initiate

Bump. Found this thread on the 2nd page so placing it where it belongs. No reason for this man to be employed after this season.

I actually am not sure what is worse...this absolutely awful bullpen....or the inability of this offense to score against any other bullpen.

Sorry, no improvements for next year....can't afford new players with prices coming down.

4 homers in 2 days....guy is nothing more than a bully.

And another thing.....Happy Birthday to you, young man!!!

Who?
