I’m sorry your parents died but that was the best LOL moment in a while.

Agreed. 90 seems about right but I could see as high as 95.

It seems that their modern day floor is about 1.6 million, which they are pretty close to (slightly above) right now. I don’t think they drop off more next year. I can’t see 1.4 or lower which would be a 25 year low. It would be laughably fun to see.

AL Central Standings since June 7 Cleveland 16-11 Minnesota 14-13 Detroit 12-15 Chicago 10-17 Kansas City 7-20 This division remains just putrid.

Yep still standing by it…

79 wins would be 42-31 from here on out. When was the last time this team had a stretch playing 11 games over .500? Early 2021?

They would have to go 40-33 from this point to win 77. I still think 90 losses is more likely.

You’re not wrong but you must be too young to remember Bevington.

Now is the time to trade Lynn. He’s peaking. Don’t hang on to him for too long.

You’re right. I thought almost everyone had at least some fake humility. Heck, even Ja Morant could fake it a little bit. I can’t figure out why people don’t like this guy.

Isn’t it obvious that people are willing to overlook your enormous character flaws when you’re playing well? When you suck, add humility and decency to your repertoire.

I know there was one administrator here that attacked a lot of people when they failed to admire Anderson. He’s been silent for a while.

Part of this is on the starters. It seems only Giolito and Lynn are capable of going six or seven innings. I just checked baseball reference and it’s been a month since Kopech pitched more than five innings. Hey Michael - why don’t you flip off the bullpen every time you take the ball. Hes gone seven innings in three of 15 starts. Cease has not gone past six innings (6.1 once, there’s that) and has only done that in seven of 16 starts. Eventually the bullpen will get worn down. (Admittedly I don’t know if every team has starters pitching like this or if the Sox are an outlier.)

If he could work on getting to know the coaches names during the All Star break that would be even better.

They nearly got swept by the worst team in MLB history.

Well Oakland started one guy with a 7.79 ERA and another who is a career 5 ERA guy.

Nobody is giving them any three guys for this bum.

The one guy that can be counted on will be traded soon or leave via free agency at the end of the season.

Two things can be true at once. He's the head bum.

You want ChicagoFanatics.com. Those guys are hilarious.

You sweet summer child.

I’ve been thinking about your first sentence …. If they did win the division would most get joy out of it? For myself I’ve already moved on from this team and would not get enjoyment. I’m still coasting on the fumes on my 40 years of being a fan but I don’t get current enjoyment out of them. Even if there was a good run out of them and they snuck in (which by the way, I can’t ever remember a Sox team coming from behind to snatch success at the end of a season) I really don’t think I would blink an eye. Maybe I’m wrong and I could get caught up in it but I think I root for the Rays more at this point.

They have one, maybe two if you count Burger, hitters. The pitching is fine for now. Although it will blow up soon I think. As someone else pointed out you can’t have Cease/Kopech go five innings every game and not have it wear out your bullpen. I remember a couple weeks ago Kopech throwing 100 pitches in four innings. He should have flipped off the bullpen before he left the mound.

Of course as already pointed out this thread is a rebuild thread not a sell the team thread so the guy posted it in the wrong thread.

This is one of the guys who always said those who were questioning Hahn were Cubs fans. I’ve got him on block. He clearly know nothing. Obviously struggles with reading too.
