What is the point of tanking when you have Kenny-Hahn as the decision-makers ?

Because the tanking tactic may be powerful enough to overcome their decision making. You could be a terrible gambler but if you've got loaded dice, you could still come out ahead.

Fulmer is a complete bust

Ahhhhhh life is sweet in the 4ALC!! Welcome to the mid-major leagues.

Carson Fulmer has never demonstrated enough control over his pitches to be a legitimate major league pitcher.

Not sure if he can ever change that, but unless and until he does, he is a minor league pitcher. 

Eventually, the scouting report on his wildness will get out and hitters are going to be waiting him out and wearing more protective gear.

7-11, on pace for 99 losses. Ride with us, or get run over.

Not sure why this comment gets so much hate. 

What do want a guy to say 'We're a bad team and we know it. Especially that one guy in the bullpen. He sucks'

To be fair, Anderson has backed up his trash talk with his performance on the field.

Sox need a lot of  pitching help plus Luis Robert and Madrigal.

But as they sit now, they are better than Detroit and KC.

He’s been really bad at elevating offspeed pitches. His two homers came on fastballs.  Also seems he’s in the hole every at bat.

This might be the worst you will see of eBoy and it's really not so doggone bad.

yea he's struggling and still has an OPS of 740.  It's all relative.

Kinda like Moncada striking out 217 times and still being average

You could make an argument that the 60 days or whatever in 2015 when Fulmer was drafted and Tatis Jr was traded should preclude Hahn and his staff from ever working in MLB again.  What an utter disaster, one of the worst processes imaginable went into those moves.

Fulmer was the year before.  Substitute Burdi for Fulmer for the June 2016 dog and pony show.

You are the voice of obscene reason. Give the guy some leash to work it on out.

Just saying.

They could not give him away last winter. He is the MLB version of Danielle Polka.

Look around the lineup, Jose, you do not need to try to carry this team any longer...take a fucking walk when they are giving it to you and let the actual run producers have a chance!!

Jose making outs instead of walks has been a real problem.  Zero for 15 AB's for our top 3 hitters is terrible.  Cordell with more production in 1 game then Palka in 17 was very nice.

Except for the error yesterday for am unearned run which cost a game. He is becoming an outstanding player but he isn't perfect either.

Hey I hope he gets hotter'n'shit.  I just don't think he has MLB ability at the moment.  It's one thing to be effectively wild with great stuff.  He's ineffectively wild with mediocre stuff.  His fastball is straight as a board.

Every light hitting good defensive player is Yolmer Sanchez. Every good hitting poor defensive player is now Daniel Palka for ... some reason.

We have three guys showing impact potential and 3-4 guys who can be decent sidekicks in this lineup. Just hope they can score runs most days to cover up all the other flaws. The Sox should not be losing to the likes of Detroit.

The Sox shouldn't be losing to a lot of garbage teams over the past several seasons...yet somehow they find a way to do so. What does that make the Sox?
