July 12, 20241 yr Struggled with where to put this since there's not much to celebrate and this thread is more about the bad kind of record chasing. So we had the Kopech immaculate inning . He was the 1st Sox pitcher in 100 years. Some franchises don't have an immaculate inning. It's very rare but it is just one inning so doesn't really mean much . Lost in that accomplishment by a Sox pitcher was what Drew Thorpe accomplished that never happened in Sox history. He was the 1st Sox pitcher ever to have 4 straight starts of 6 or more inning giving up 3 or less hits and 2 runs or less. Great job Drew Thorpe !

It’s a shame his ERA and WHIP suck as we are about to trade him. The immaculate inning was nice cuz it shows teams that he can still get the job done as a dominant force, but his entire body of work this season is going to hurt the return on him unfortunately. Thorpe has been better than expected. He may never be a true ace but if his K rate increases, he is going to be a very good starter that can be dominant at times.
July 12, 20241 yr The bullpen has been the real confidence destroyer this year. Theyve just beat their teammates down over and over again all season. The amount of games where they had a late lead past the 6th inning that the bullpen came in and pissed away is insane. You can't bring Katz back after this year, we have enough of a sample size to know he isn't the answer. He absolutely benefitted from guys using spider tack Leasure WHIP in April: 1.36, May: 1.11, June: 2.00, July: 3.00) Kopech WHIP in April: 1.39, May: 1.32, June: 1.59, July: 1.72 Brebbia WHIP in April: 1.2, May: 1.58, June: 0.80, July: 1.29 Anderson WHIP in April: 2.14, May: 1.25, June: 1.34, July: 1.50 Banks WHIP in April: 1.97, May: 0.89, June: 1.13, July: 0.50 Shuster WHIP in April: 1.10, May: 1.30, June: 1.55, July: 2.00 Kuhl WHIP in June: 1.45, July: 1.58 All of these guys are straight garbage this year, outside of Banks & Brebbia (who's amazing May numbers bring down the rest of his average to awful stats) Edited July 12, 20241 yr by joejoesox

Only one time this season have they trailed in the 7th inning or later...and won.

Seriously at least 2 of the guys aren't on any other mlb roster but the Sox. One of them is a kid learning on the job. Another is a head case who doesn't listen to coaching.

July 14, 20241 yr Author Most losses at the All Star break throughout history. Chasing all those terrible records....
