(Balta will argue more but I don't think any org would have fired him before 2015) Where has Balta been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucks yet Hahn paid him like an elite reliever. He didn't pay him like an elite reliever but the long term deal bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn’t need to “elite” to be worth $8M AAV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hahn mistake that will keep haunting. Graveman not getting Maldonado was grave as well, and Bregman and Tucker with stellar defense also killed the Sox last night. Oh well. I would have taken 1-1 at this point since the schedule came out. I think the mistake was just not rolling with Lambert in the 7th. He threw like 5 pitches. Was no need to use Graveman in a back to back at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: Yeah he's probably quitting until Hahn is fired. Disney just signed that contract in Florida that is valid until 21 years after the death of the last descendent of King Charles III. Which happens first, that or Hahn gets fired?

GreenSox Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Graveman was not good last year; neither was Ruiz. And certainly not Diekman. One pitcher who was good was Tanner Banks (he's 31; they're effing around because of options?); so was Davis Martin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 glad we spent a big chunk of our “contention window” budget on a bunch of bum-ass relievers. ffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See 2000 2003 2006 2008 2010 etc. Fwiw, Twins' pen has looked awesome so far..albeit against the Royals.

elrockinMT Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I agree a few relief pitchers haven’t been sharp but it would be a big help if the offense could drive in those runners on base. If we win Sunday for. Series split I will be happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) JR keeps guys around years after their usefulness. Hahn and Williams should have both been cleared out 4 years ago! Edited April 2, 2023 by Soxfest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmb35 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Do we un-fire him now that we are 2-2 vs the defending Champs? I'm not sure how this works, just looking for clarification. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
