If we can extend the season by 6 months, we may be a playoff team.    It's a shame we are peaking after 155 games.

I go with a 200 loss team

Right now the Angels might be worse than us.

Yep.  Freaking Angels playing a career minor leaguer who has never even been good in the minors.

Ramos seems to be hitting the ball hard. Hope he starts for them next year.

His numbers suck but every time I watch him hit he looks like he belongs in the Majors.

Players stuck around and threw out t shirts to the fans. Vargas stayed extra long throwing out shirts and signing autographs after all the other position players left. Pretty cool. New Yoan. I hope he figures out how to play baseball. 

Doubt Yoan has ever done that since Boston…more like Caitlin Clark lol.

The frustrating thing is that while this team is awful the starting pitching was good enough to not have this be a record breaking year.  Grifol and Getz are awful and possibly the worst ever but there was enough talent to win 60

If this team had an even average bullpen they'd be about 10 games better. They blew so many games in the middle of the year that were winnable. There was a period of time where nobody in the bullpen could hold a lead.

10 is probably an understatement to be honest.

My app said his ERA was under 5 to start the inning.

I was going by MLB gameday which said 5.02 after 6 but youre probably right because 1 out likely doesn't reduce it by .07 to the 4.95 it was after his 1 out in the 7th.

Mlb.com has it 3-15 4.95.

Not even close to Anthony Young.

I did say it ended at 4.95 but the discrepancy we were discussing was what it was after 6 rather than 6.1 innings.

Would they bench Vargas for Ramos…or play Vargas at second instead?

Baldwin at second, maybe?  One of the three seems to be the odd man out unless they force Baldwin to SS where he would be pretty abysmal defensively as an everyday player?

But then where Sosa?

 

probably Baldwin to AAA but that infield defense will still be a total mess…albeit cheap as hell

This is a recipe for another Getz trade disaster.

Out of all those guys, Sosa has shown the most to me this year.  If we are giving playing to this group Sosa would be my starting 2B.

I saw him doing it during spring training which is why I mentioned it. He seems like a nice guy, knows he’s there to give the kids a show. Again, I prefer them to be good at baseball, but it was fun to see how excited kids get by….Miguel Vargas.

Your sarcasm/trolling skills are always on point.  👍🏻

Nice to see these guys start to give a s%*# after losing 120 games.  Great work Getzy

Pretty sure the "owed" part was negotiated out with the 2003 changes.

 It would actually rule if the Sox somehow kept them out.
