Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) This team is so weird. It seems like whenever I'm watching or paying attention, they are putting together a nice run or a win streak and they're in every game, yet they're 3 games below .500. Again, it's weird, but this team feels like it should be 5-7 games over .500 right now instead. They can't go on a run. I think their longest winning streak is 4.

This team feels really close. I advocated them trading Alexei, but I don't mind if they keep him. There are a few glaring holes still - LF, RF, 2B, C, and then DH after the season, plus they could use another starter and some more bullpen help - but it seems that they'll be competitive for the rest of this year and into next year with the possibility of being really good in 2016. Knock on wood, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) Ariz got Trumbo in that deal, right? A real stinker for them. Gave up Skaggs and Eaton for Trumbo. Moronic at the time, even worse now given the performance of all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was just a pinch hit due to bases loaded in a tie game with a right handed pitcher on the mound.

This team would not be 10 games better with Addison Reed on it. Reed hasn't even been very good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 They would be if the hadn't traded Addison Reed. Sox bullpen ERA = 3.89 Addison Reed ERA = 3.95 So yeah, I can see how the Sox would be so many games better by adding a guy with a 3.95 ERA to a bullpen with a 3.89 ERA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
