EloyRedGloveSWAG Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 No worries I’m sure the Sox bats will come alive in the tip of the 9th. They were just trolling the Royals. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Those projected 2020 contending lineups with Tilson....yikes. He will make a great employee at the Bulls/Sox Academy in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Losing to KC with Gio on the mound is not what the doctor ordered. It might work to our advantage that RH is seeing this crap. Whatever he does over the next couple of weeks is not clouded with any false ideas about are needs. We will be much improved next year with our injured players returning and the addition of Robert & Madrigal...but lots of work still to do. Rick might have a busy couple of weeks.

wegner Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Well this has been a disappointing beginning to the 2nd half...I just got to see the 9th inning...was Yolmer swinging for the fences again in a key spot in the 8th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Jose isn't what he once was. If we extend him at all, as our prospects come hit and turn into MLB sluggers, he needs to hit 7th or so. How about a diminished skills clause? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main thing that is scaring me about extending him. You know Ricky is going to continue to play him at 1B regularly and bat 3rd regularly.

greg775 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) We're finally playing to our roster. Hard to believe we hovered near .500 for so long with this pitching staff and so many automatic outs. That said ... it's funny we play Central teams so many times that it's a different Sox and Royals team each time. This is a pathetic Sox team that will get swept. Other times we play KC we are a confident team on fire and win the series. My suggestion is the way we're playing on the road, bet the house the rest of the season on us to lose road games as well as taking the under. Hahn gets his way. He'll be flipping like a burger cooker the next few weeks. Edited July 16, 2019 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Renteria 3. Start spending to get top talent regardless of whether they're pitcher or position player.

It has to be difficult concentrating at the plate when you play for a team that on paper has no shot of making the playoffs because of a flawed roster. I hope we trade him so I don't have to hear this kind of stuff about my favorite Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Even when Giolito was getting lit up by the Cubs he was getting a ton of swinging strikes. Those disappeared today against a really bad offense and that is cause for concern. Everyone knows I'm Giolito's biggest fan on this board, but he looked like 2018 Giolito today. I wasn't worried about regression until today. Edited July 16, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a great start by Gio, but it was good enough. Meanwhile, the Sox lineup was swinging broomsticks against Mr. 5+ ERA. They made him look like Verlander.
