Maybe, but it may not come against the Braves.

Hopefully this series is washed out. 

Atlanta is only here once right? They will try to get this in as much as they can.

Until 2024 rung in, thought Getz would bring in a few good players and flip Cease for a couple prospects and a decent AAA starter plus reliever to plug in now.

After the Maldonado and Mena calls, really lost confidence. The haul for Cease was fine, but definitely won't help 2024. Think Bannister and a few others can help players develop / adjust, but the dearth of talent seems as though 2027 could be the earliest to expect .500.

Can see Jerry nuking payroll like he did the last half decade at Comiskey Park (1986-1990), perhaps a $60M-$80M payroll per year until 2029.

Guys that is Jerry's plot. He's gonna make attendance drop so bad he can use that to move the team. It's only gonna get worse. This mother Fucker has sucked 44 years out of Chicago. Time to say screw you jerry

I really felt good about this trade. I thought, while still below average, that the Sox defensively and somewhat offensively would really improve in RF. But Fletcher has looked awful. I know it's early, but he looked awful offensively in spring ball. Pillar has been every bit as bad. RF looks every awful, just like aways.

I think the Pillar contract proves that Getz is going to the biggest Yes Man we've ever seen on the South Side, which was probably part of the "we need to hire Chris so badly we're not even going to entertain the Selig rule" pact.

First 0-3 start since 2015...

How I long for the good old days of 2023

Usually during a losing streak, you can assume a team will come out of it somehow. But I don't see this offense doing much of anything this year. Besides Robert, and maybe Vaughn on a good day, there is nothing in this lineup. We will see many more boring games like this one. And, of course, many losing ones.

And of course Eloy is hurt again, so that's one less MLB caliber hitter in the lineup.

? This clown will be out a month. What a total complete waste of talent. 

The record for the most losses to start a season in Sox history is 10 set in 1968. These stiffs and buffoons have a chance to equal that mark, which would at least end the season early.

Three straight one run losses and Hill doesn't look like he can get anybody out, but hey he works cheap!

Thinking Getz runs things through Tony to get the yea or nay, or both go to Jerry for his call.

Also thinking the current online org chart is a typo, as Kenny was EVP when Tony reported up through him (or more likely around direct / dotted line to Jerry).

Yes. They’ll probably get Monday in. Tue and Wed I’m guessing will be too cold with snow, and they play a doubleheader in June.

I could see Robert the only .800 + OPS, perhaps one or two of the three (Eloy, Moncada, Vaughn) cracking .760, and then a couple guys maybe hitting .720 + (Colas, Grossman and/or Sheets). Everyone else is a reserve or AAA player on even a .500 team.

If they were smart, this would be managed as a complete and utter teardown, but see them continuing to pretend and perhaps delude even themselves about the fact the farm system might not be bottom 5 anymore, but the organization as a whole certainly is when looking at talent in their 20s.

 

Let’s start with a 20 game loosing streak.

Honestly I wouldn't complain about that. Show the world what a total complete embarrassment the team/organization has become.

Wait, so I read he has an injured chest. He did that running to first? Take him to the glue factory already

No. It's his left adductor.

How much losing do the Sox have to do before they realize that what they are doing is not working?

I can't wait for Eloy and Yoan to be off this team.

Nothing will really change until ownership does no matter how many games they lose.

Grifol post game nonsense on being so close was pure comedy from a abysmal manager

The offense does. Maybe Grossman will eventually replace Eloy. 

Grossman may be an improvement, as sad as that is, but he isn’t saving this putrid lineup.
