Sox try to stop their 6 game slide against the Tribe in Cleveland. Detwiler vs. Civale . Wait who is in the rebuild here? We have the retread going and they have the young pitcher .

 

Sox luck.........Eloy has too work on hitting the slider

Eloy’s swing/stance needs significant changes this offseason. He’s way too easy to pitch to.

Who are the September call-ups for the Sox?

Cooper is doing a great job having these guys ready. What is this, an average of about 4 runs allowed in the first inning the last week?  This team has quit

Ross does nor need to start another game

I agree, but who else is going to start? We've already had enough of the Dylan Covey/Hector Santiago experience

Who else is there, Fulmer or Covey?

The rebuild is crumbling down the stretch.

Fulmer's in the bullpen now. 

We’re getting a higher draft pic.

Sure, try one of them as the opener.

Nope. They have a ton of Detroit, KC and Seattle down the stretch. Sox are clearly better than those 3 teams.

If Moncada ends up at 800ish ops and Giolito at 3.75-4.00 ERA, they only have Robert, Madrigal, Collins and Kopech left to promote from a PR standpoint...or the human interest story of whether Burger can make it to the big leagues (although not exactly a huge hurdle in this organization.)

Looks like another offseason of MEH.

Just exposing how antiquated their offensive and defensive approach is.  Not a single coach should be retained once the season ends.

They are going to advertise Collins?  Yikes

God that would be an absolute worst case scenario. Giolito is at 3.30 ERA and Moncada's slump has only brought him down to .862.

We're in agreement here but they'll all be back. I'd be shocked if anyone got fired.

Only Detroit.
This team with all of its  org. minor leaguers that the FO insists on playing is really bad.

Just tuned in to see we are already down 3-0. Three walks in the first by Detwiler. I heard it’s better to throw strikes

Look at the win gap. Sox are better than KC by a lot. Seattle is closer than I thought.
