My god, swing the bat.  This is going to be another shutout, isn’t it?

Stellar defense up the middle continues, thanks Getz

Soroka fits right in with this Island of Misfit Toys that Getz has assembled.

It’s crazy how the Bummer trade return performs worse each day

Would have been much better just to eat his contract.

Like Kimbrel's QO to Pollock to Benintendi.

One mistake compounds upon another.

Just cut the cord.

Man Soroka needs to go to Charlotte 

Went to grab a beer, didn't miss much it appears.

DFA.  He’s trash and washed up. 

We could have had Rosario and Profar up the middle for the same price...and actually gotten a bit of entertainment and fun.

Just DFA beni. Eat the salary, f*** it.

It's beyond that.

This isn't a tweak of his stuff.  It's just gone.

MS is toast

JR wants to extract his full money's worth of suffering...just like Grifol.

Should sue Hahn lol.

Crazy how fast these half innings are.  You can’t convince me they are playing with any effort.

No.  He should have been traded for 17 year old talented lottery tickets. The Sox wouldn’t have developed them but that makes more sense then grabbing a 26 year old “prospect” with no bat, a bad player in Lopez, a AAAA arm in Shuster and a washed up pitcher who is a free agent after this year.  Harold loved this trade though lol

To be fair, the Sox weren’t exactly trading a major asset. Bummer was horrific last year and hasn’t been much better in 24. He’s currently sporting a 1.7 WHIP. I still think the idea behind the trade was solid.

Who was offering that?

Why are people still complaining about the Bummer trade? He's hot fucking garbage. Getting ANYTHING back would have been a steal.

More good contact from the kid.

Ortega is the wish.com version of Jose Abreu.

How the hell did he get to that ball if he was on the right side of the bag

The "labor problem" caused in large part by Reinsdorf and Selig. 

I think Rafael Ortega just started showing up one day and they decided to play him.

I smell another shutout coming
