17 hours ago17 hr 3 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:My guy, remember when WE was like "maybe he did start switch hitting."Then two days later he said "why do people think I make excuses for getz."Good times!There has to be some sort of threshold where Getz starts receiving some blame, even from his staunchest of supporters. I realize it’s a rebuild and that there have been some injuries (Hays, Baldwin, Pereira just returned), but at what point does Getz get some heat even from his supporters when he has put together an offense that is ranked last in the MLB after three offseasons of making moves?

If people want to post irrational s%*#, that’s their prerogative. But don’t go pearl clutching when other people do the same thing just because they s%*#-post from a different perspective.

That one doesn’t make sense to me.Tristan Peters seems like a likable, decent dude that everyone resonates with. Jerry seems to keep players and people around that he likes regardless of talent or lack thereof. If you look back over the decades with that in mind a lot of head scratching moves make more sense.

If you didn't plan for that, you didn't plan.

I want to see what getting their "ideal" lineup out for a few months looks like. Probably not many more offensive reinforcements coming besides Hays (unless Braden Montgomery continues his hot streak), but I imagine Hagen Smith will be up at some point, and the bullpen will continue to shuffle until they find something that works. I still think 70-something wins is a likely outcome, but if they continue to be far off that pace even after getting healthy/getting promotions to MLB done then we'll know something isn't working.

If his lack of success continues Getz is going to have to send him down to the minors. This Robert Jr trade for Acuna looks worse than the Cease trade to the Padres.

I know it’s been a while now, but this hasn’t been a typical rebuild in the sense it’s a complete organizational overhaul. He’s doing what most of us were clamoring for, and that unfortunately takes a lot of time. Reinsdorf can go f*** himself though.
16 hours ago16 hr Most obvious explanation for Antonacci being called up today instead of yesterday was the desire to not give him his first MLB at bats against a left-handed starter.

This Robert Jr trade for Acuna looks worse than the Cease trade to the Padres.The majority view on this message board and the near-unanimous view of national baseball media was that the Sox should not have picked up Robert's option because that constituted overpaying him. If that assessment is remotely correct, then the return for him in trade is immaterial because the Sox had an asset without value and got rid of it. And even among those (like me) who thought he was worth keeping around at $20M due to his upside and the possibility of getting something in a trade, not much could be expected given an approximately market rate of pay for Robert. Getting what appears to be a Leury Garcia type of player in return is not some travesty. Cease trade is a completely different animal because he had multiple years of team control remaining and had a better track record of performance at the time. Although the book has not yet closed on that trade, it is looking quite brutal relative to what Cease appears to have been worth at the time. Maybe Thorpe and/or Samuel Zavala will change the verdict in the long run, but it has undoubtedly been a disaster up to this point.

15 hours ago15 hr Already I'm reading elsewhere that its hard to get excited about Schultz. Some people think if he's successful he'll be moved off the team after his 3rd or 4th year for prospects. There's no way JR will sign him long term. If the new owner comes in he might sign him.
