YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This is the first time all year that I think that the Sox could make a legitimate run at a wildcard spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in this team. I still love watching a win but hope for this season?...no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't have hope either, however, that they were 7-2 with crap offense/defense/baserunning lends credence to the idea of keeping the pitching together and hoping for a flukey year of + offense.

mmmmmbeeer Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Nice little shot at the offense from Shark there in that postgame interview. He's right, though...we need to do something to help the offense. Lose 2 or 3 of Beckham, Flowers, and Sanchez and replace them with even average bats and we'll win at a much better clip. Easier said than done but an effort needs to be made.

shipps Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Sox still have to worst record in the AL right? I cant talk about Wild Card until they keep this up for another month and even then its just too late to decide you are going to play some baseball and make it to the playoffs.

Better than Seattle and Oakland, but yeah unless we get back above .500 this Wild Card talk is crazy. I also hope this little run doesn't make them hesitate to trade Jeff if they get a good offer.

cabiness42 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't believe this team is going to the postseason this year, but I believe the top four in the rotation are too good to consider trading any of them. You always have a chance to compete with those four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean in 2016 becuase their chances are slim but not yet none in 2015. They actually lost ground this week falling from 5.5 to 6.5 back and now trail 9 teams instead of 8.

I, personally, don't waste this pitching staff. Pitching wins in the playoffs...you never know what could happen if we can get a wild card spot. Unless KW and RH have a plan for picking up a C, 2b, and 3b by opening day next season, we might as well bite the bullet now and add another 1/2 season of competitive ball.

Average bats wouldn't cost that much, unless you're lousy at negotiating trades. But I wouldn't do it anyway. If the Sox were in the East- maybe. But the only chance, and it's flailing, is at a WC. As for pitching in playoffs - sometimes it wins, and sometimes it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, don't trade for them at this point. Using real prospects for average is a poor use of assets. 2 average players doesn't make the Sox better than the Royals. The Sox should have better pitching next year, even without Shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
