Four straight game threads. Definitely in uncharted territory now, gentlemen.

No Chase, Quero, or Elko today. Woofers. Still win, though.

That lineup is a mess. Brooks back in LF again. 

No reason for Amaya to still be on this team.

Waiting for Slater, Tauchman and Lee to come off IL.

Why? It’s not even Sunday.

Baseball is so dumb. Vargas crushed the ball yesterday and had nothing, today he gets a check swing single.

Nevermind. He is out.

So much for all the positive vibes lol.

Just keep it to two runs.

Wilson really sucks.  All these guys they signed to big league deals this past offseason have been awful 

Threw it right into Benson's hot zone.

Martín Pérez wasn't. 

You have to establish the FB first for the far better change up to actually be effective.

 

 

Foul ball.  Barely.

Injured pitchers not all that helpful when they simply expose your lack of quality starting depth.

No team in baseball these days can expect to use just one rotation for the entire season.

They signed Martín Pérez to a big league deal, he wasn't awful. The Sox had starting pitching depth. Not everybody is the Dodgers with 11 FA starting pitchers on the IL.

If they can't get anything for him at the trade deadline...hard to call it a victory.

Actually, it isn't hard. He pitched well. Please try to follow the conversation.

How’s it depth if one injury results in Bryse Wilson starting?

Now this is familiar territory.

Flyball pitchers don't mix well with this weather.

Really wish there was a better option than Wilson. But he was probably up late last night dropping off a shipment in his 18 wheeler.

He's not going to be back before July.

Please understand that doesn't give teams much incentive to trade for him.

 

Routine throw over gets away lol.

This game has been bad ever since Vargas call reversed.

Actually, 4 Tommy John surgeries and Perez' injury resulted in the guy they promised a shot at starting - starting games. So that's 5 injuries, and 2 guys in AAA not being able to throw strikes, if we're going to get technical. And even with that, they still have 3 guys on the 26-man with starting experience behind Bryce Wilson, 2 other guys at AAA who might get starts in the bigs, and Jesse Scholtens may even be back by the middle of June. 

So, yeah, they had and have depth.

None of that has anything to do with my comment. A weird, hidden benefit to signing a pitcher is that they actually pitch some games for your team. Trade value is an added bonus.
