Lip Man 1 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Well friends and neighbors there you go. Eight in a row by the Cubs, they now lead the head to head series. Another game with three runs or less. Another game with an error. Boy that Castro sure looks like an "outstanding" pick up No? LOL. 🤡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand folks in the fanbase who are okay with horrid, horrid baseball because rebuild. Sox have long been awful at talent evaluation and Getz is a large part of that. Do you think it's Jerry's idea that year after year we run with no closer at all? Then when the team has 30 blown saves we watch them scratch their heads then do the same thing next season. Jerry being a cheap prick? Big reason why they're terrible. Getz constructed an awful roster and spending that little money in awful ways? Also large part of the blame. Not like the minors are bursting at the seams with talent. Our former #1 prospect is batting .174 in aaa and we have approximately 1 potential stud looking offensive player. Getz is a giant, whopping failure. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) Sox have scored three runs or less in 32 of the 47 games played. That's 68% of all games for those of you scoring at home. That is beyond awful. Six guys played today for the Sox who were hitting under .200 Edited May 18 by Lip Man 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I could care less about the Cubs. The Sox have no direction. This rebuild is going nowhere. During the two plus years, the Sox are around 140 games under .500. That is not rebuilding. That is tanking and calling it a rebuild. What are they going to do next off season? Sign a bunch of over-the-hill veterans and cut them before spring training ends? I've never seen this team this bad, and I've been around for a time. I don't care if they got swept by the Cubs. They can get swept by anyone. And get swept often. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should follow greg's posts closely cause tanking/rebuilding to me is un-sportsmanlike, against all tenets of sports and America, really. p.s. I'm starting to think the reason I think the Sox are on the right track though is cause they lead in almost every game this year. The Sox jump out to first inning leads a lot. Little concerned of the pitching in the Cub series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organization's only obvious "plan" is to have a few stars, trade them when they get close to making some real cash and acquire some kids who one year will all click at the same time while under cost control and grab us a trophy.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 38 minutes ago, wegner said: Getz blows at recognizing talent...he just does. He is a friggin joke. Look I'm not going to talk about Getz being good to a pissed off bunch of Sox fans who just lost 3 straight to the Cubs. That's a losing battle. That's a losing battle even trying to do it without losing 3 games to the Cubs. Not going to die on that hill. I will say judging baseball talent is not easy when picking young players that are supposed to be the best in the world in the draft. So how are you supposed to judge talent with any accuracy when choosing from some of the worst but once promising talent over 25 years old ? You try picking from a 200+ player pool of guys who have been up and down from AAA to MLB a few times with 1 or 2 options left and that's who you're stocking your MLB team and AAA team with . Or some ML vets down on their luck or recovering from bad seasons or injury getting signed for $1-3M . How many times were there people screaming about Vargas who didn't even know about Jeral Perez ? Now Vargas is hitting and playing a decent 3rd base. That trade is looking better now that 2 of the 3 in that trade are performing better. The Crochet trade looking great so far. Cease trade so far not so good but I don't think he was getting very good offers. These are things most fans don't consider. I still think the worst thing Getz did was not trading Robert after 2023. You see another person saying that now around here. He is just copying me because I said it 1st . I'm just trying to look at everything as much as possible. Reinsdorf hired Getz didn't he. If it wasn't Getz it wouldn't have been anyone any better. It would have been another eager young man 1st time GM working under the same restrictions. There's a reason why the Sox have never drafted and developed a star player from the Dominican Republic when it develops the most MLB players than any country besides the US and his name is Jerry Reinsdorf. Anyone who talks about Getz more than Reinsdorf is not looking at the big picture . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
