What could they possibly buy without subtracting from the major league club? Charlotte is putrid and nobody there would bring anything of value. At best this is the team you have the rest of the season. Most likely they are sellers at the deadline. Why let these guys get away and get nothing in return?

What’s wrong with just making Moncada play second base?

You can play that game all day. If TB wouldn’t have choked in the ninth they would have lost 11 in a row instead of 10. If they were on their ninth or tenth starting pitchers like some other teams things would be a lot worse.

Not an inaccurate picture of the forum but the forum is also not inaccurate in its assessment of the team. It’s a very bad team with no pitching, despite shutting down number 29 KC today.

What wins against good teams?

Of course they will be selling at the deadline so the team won’t be together for 115 games.

I think there’s no pitching there except for Hendricks if he’s the same. This starting staff is putrid outside of Giolito.

Do you think the Sox will have the same team, an improved team, or a diminished team for the next 111 games?

So they won’t be sellers at the trade deadline?

If they continue to play 9-7 over the next six weeks they will still end up being sellers at the deadline and then it will get uglier. The hole they dug for themselves ensures they will be sellers at the trade deadline. It is inevitable.

Lol, nothing there. When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail. Welcome to my blocked list.

When did this become WSI?

Citations needed.

When was the last time he did anything “fun”?

A lot. They twist themselves into pretzels to blame everyone else for him being an a—hole.

I agree. Well said. Abreu is a class act. Giolito at least tries. Anderson is an a—hole. Always has been.

Does anyone really think Hahn/Williams would turn the top pick into a good major league player?

?

Anyone denying that is doing a complete torture of this history here.

I remember a thread where people were drooling about how swole Kopech and Jimenez were and were jerking each other off over the theee future Hall of Famers Jimenez and Roberts and Moncada.

Exactly.

I think you’ve confused it with ChicagoFanatics, who were always skeptics and most were always hilarious when doing so.

And they ran off a good number of skeptics. It turned into WSI here for a while.

My work colleague and I used to comment that these guys didn’t need agents, the fans did their work for them. Perusing the boards from 2017-2019 you have more people than should have been proclaiming Roberts and Moncada and Jimenez future Hall of Famers. We had threads that told us we should picture Kopech and Giolito as future Verlanders. So you can forgive their overconfidence a bit. Hahn should have known to underpromise and over deliver.

There were plenty of people who thought he was the Sox Theo.
