When Fulmer / Migo / Shields are on the mound, all I do is hope our younger / core position players produce. I have such little expectations for this team.  Just let our young talent grow and hopefully we see some star potential materialize as the season goes on (as well as seeing signs from Lopez / Giolito that we can count on them as being building blocks in the staff);  If they don't pan out, we literally have an entire rotation we need to build.  

For sure. Losses are frustrating,  but are we really expecting this team to do anything? This year is all about development. Today I've enjoyed seeing the patience from Moncada and the hit/stolen base from Timmy.

In my opinion, the next "building" aspect of this rebuild is going to be the bullpen, which hopefully will start being built next off-season. That thankfully should not require nearly as.much development time, as pens usually don't.

Agree with you on Yoan / Timmy. On the pen, I'm not that concerned because I figure by sheer luck we should have a few guys that somewhat emerge in the next year to two. Even if they don't, I think that is the last piece to develop and if you get the rest right, you got to be able to piece together a decent pen.  

That said, if our pen sucks by the end of the year and we haven't identified a pitcher or two that is young and cost controlled that looks like they could be fits, that would be a disappointment.  Too many developmental innings throughout our pen to not have a couple pieces emerge.  

No reason to worry about pen, it's too volatile. Most would have thought Minaya and Infante would be reliable guys this year based off last season.

I'll take him any day of the week over engel, I completely forgot they made that trade lol 

I'm sure this has been discussed but I could not be more impressed by Nicky's walk against Verlander. Was a truly amazing AB.

Welp, I'm gonna watch the bottom half of the inning then I'm out 

Thompson needs to show something to the team . He a solid defender not swinging the bat well. Engel still has the edge 

JFC ???

 

Will Renteria have a job in Sept?

@Jose Abreu hold the wheel for me, I'm out till tomorrow 

Something going on in Sox dugout

A purge, perhaps?

I didn't catch what they said, but something happened to Farqah. Was it a foul ball?

 

We’re really bad. 

Danny Farquhar was carried out. Something wrong.

Awful. Hope he ends up being okay.  

Looked unconscious when they carried him off

I hope Danny is OK. Considering the circumstances I won't comment on this team. Be OK, Danny. This is scary.

Good to hear he should be ok
