If the Sox were walking like they did last year they'd have a much better record right now and would probably be averaging a run+ more a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of Dodgers games at night while I do other stuff (and because the Sox suck but I still like watching baseball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins traded Berrios in a similar situation and it worked out fine. If you can't extend him...there isn't much choice because of our far system, draft position and lack of payroll flexibility over future seasons.

I want them to lose every game because it's the only way that the org will make the necessary changes to actually compete. The most important change will not happen and that’s at the top.

I mean really, they should trade Giolito and then replace him in the winter if they want to bring the band back together one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably closer to .830 But his fWAR is lower due to how many games he missed. So hard to say he's more effective when is missing so many games. When's the last time he played 145 games?

So the necessary changes will not happen. That's why I said maybe I shouldn't care anymore. Or at least adjust my expectations accordingly such that a playoff appearance would make me content until that change happens. Like I don't even know what the Sox can do anymore. So much of their payroll is tied up in the guys that were supposed to be their core and the vets to supplement them. All are underperforming outside of the pitching staff, of which none are locked up. Edited May 19, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
