Pham lighting it up so far with the Cardinals

Saw he hit a grand slam on his first AB.

It's possible we finish with over 130 losses. 

This is a AAA team, it’s probable.

Sure, didn't say it wasn't highly unlikely, but it is possible, which is staggery. I can easily see 10-41. I can squint and see 5-46. 

These guys absolutely suck, but they aren't going to finish 5-46.

I think 10-41 is in play though.

I'm not throwing in the towel on Thorpe, but it is alarming. A guy with that velo, has to have some pretty good control to get by. And talking about Singer early in his career.....well, he could also actually strike guys out, something Thorpe won't do.

Thorpe induces weaker contact and surrenders fewer hits.

Flying all over the place today 

Uh, ok then Gameday...

 

Welp, tuned in and saw another Lee out.   I’m not even mad, this is amazing.

Yes, and Thorpe has a top tier change up. He's 23 and was in High A last year. Let's give him some time to acclimate and improve before we write him off. There's enough to be miserable about this season without expecting a 23 year old rookie to dominate.

Fair enough and well said.  Not giving up on him, just want to see the stuff play up more than it has.

I'm warming up my '84' gif as we speak!

Hopefully Vargas is just trying too hard, as there is an obvious flaw in his mechanics

Vargas is 0-8 as a Sox.

He fits right in!

We're at the point where the positives are "hey, at least they scored THREE runs this game!".

And that each game is one day closer to a new owner 

Maybe Pedro was right. Sox about to be 0-13 without Maldy.

Good lord, what idiot scout suggested Vargas could play anywhere on defense?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

And just butchered a ball in left field

Peralta and his 88 mph fastball getting destroyed.  The lack of talent in this organization is insane.

We have the worst scouts in the business so it makes sense.

Harold, is it mostly the same scouts under Getz as it was with Hahn?

Also, if I remember correctly, the fewest!

You've heard of the bash bros. But have you heard of the ass bros Vaughn and Vargas?

If Getz and Grifol had any class and self respect, they would resign immediately after this game.

That’s the middle of the order next year!
