It has not been fun but other than that this is 200% correct

Unless it's to blow games. #becauseitsthetank

Whew!

I was trying to be nice :D

Petricka is lucky Dozier's hit stayed in the park.

It just amazes me how brutal this bullpen is. There needs to be work this off season to shore it up

Did anyone see that shot of Holland in the dugout? Talk about a guy that looks defeated/depressed...almost feel sorry for the guy (almost)

Would like to know what the Sox were looking at when they signed Holland for $6m. Hopefully next year they look more towards analytics for their sign-to-flip candidates.

He is happy on the 15th and the 30th every month

Well... nice to see the Sox have their closer right now.

So when does game 2 start

Good lord. Why did so many people want a rebuild if they can't handle a few months of bad play from a rookie?

To be fair, a lot thought he was supposed to be can't miss and ignored the red flags he showed in AAA this year. I keep saying Eloy is the one with MVP potential and Moncada can be an All Star if it goes right

I think it's fair to criticize if it's fair to praise him. Criticism for poor play even from a rookie in a rebuild is going to happen. Best you can do is make a folder and store those posts in it and recall them later when it turns out you are right or to destroy if you are wrong.

 

I get the feeling their is at least 1 poster who does this who shall not be named.

I can't even go on Twitter anymore. The overreactions are too much

All top prospects acquired for Sale/Q/Eaton must be instant stars or the trade was a failure and they shoulda just kept that core and "went for it" again.

 

Rookies struggle.

I am despised for my takes but even I do not judge Moncada on these meaningless early games in his career. He passes the eye test folks. He'll be a stud. Trust greg.

I judge Hall of Fame candidacies from age 23-37, because under that, they're super young and generally struggle...and after 37, players are on the way out. So next year is Moncada's age 23 season. Just take the good with the bad for now. Judge him next year when he shows up to spring training with a job and plays 155 games.
