Leasure was getting killed in AAA.  Yet here he is, 2nd game in a row with a lead on the line late in the game.

So how do we blow this game?

The mediocrity that some of the Getz supporters cling to as signs of success is illustrated to me so many of the problems in this organization (except Harold, he’s not afraid to admit someone stinks).

The ironic thing is that Nardi doesn’t have to look any further than the guy on the mound for the Sox for yet another example of a pitcher who may not be ready.

Go through my post history.  I have said most of the guys on the team suck.  

I haven't even made any statements about Eder except about a month ago I said he was lining up to debut in the majors within the next year and some of the usual suspects acted like I was making outlandish assumptions.  The guy is the 27th man today and will probably go to AAA next...  A normal response from WS2023 and TRU would be, "Yeah, he's probably up sooner rather than later."  Not trying to argue they are still correct. 

You can think the team is bad and still live in reality.

Didn’t know the context you had used in your argument, thanks for explaining.  I agree he will get some innings next year.

With a better bullpen, the Sox are going for the 5th win in a row. I’ve been told that’s the easiest thing to fix in an offseason so that’s gotta be encouraging no? This starting rotation is legit good right now after the promotions of Cannon and Thorpe. Without a trade, there’s no room for Clevinger even unless they want to demote Flexen who’s been pitching fairly well recently also.

He’s been solid repeating AA as a 25 year old.  I must have missed stuff, but his prospect status has to be dropping.

Don't worry Chris will have him DFAd in no time.

let soroka try closing today

I don’t think these guys are bad, just not necessarily ready.  I realize it’s a unique situation cuz of the double header but Eder gets the call after a 9.00 ERA with 5 homers surrendered in his last 3 starts.

Getz gonna Getz.

Not going to lie, saw it was Kopech, and put a Hamilton on the Twins at 12:1

Its amazing they are as bad as they are with the starting pitching they have gotten.

It's weird how you never argue with the admins who scream that we should bring up all of our minor leaguers and let them "learn" at the major league level. It's almost like you don't really believe what you're posting.

This is just a one day move.  He's probably the one guy who lines up and is on the 40.  It's nothing.

I fully expected to see Eder at some point this season however I wouldn't be thumping my chest about him being the 27th mop up man on a double header day when he hasn't been performing all that well in the minors. That's all I was saying.

Yep, that is it.  He last pitched on July 3rd.

It's weird how mad you get that people dare to disagree with you.  WHY YOU NO ARGUE WITH MAN WHO NO AGREE WITH ME?@?@?@?

You're dealing with people who are like a 2-year-old who just learned the power of the word "no". You can say that Garret Crochet has been selected to the All-Star team, and they'll find something to argue against that.

Yeah, I am sure you drag other people into every argument when you are perfectly happy.  Makes total sense.

Kopech found a 2nd pitch.

Kopech riding that Boras bump

Let's go! Do it again!

That was immacculate.
