Sticky Stuff

Everyone’s frustration is understandable. Especially with Robert, but Acuna, Ohtani, Vlad Jr, and the list could go on all have had injuries this year. These guys aren’t made of steel. Injuries happen. Let’s hope these aren’t significant injuries and they come back ready to go.

A loaded Oregon State team to a loaded Winston-Salem team. He’s not going to be used to losing when he makes it to Chicago.

Winston-Salem 23 hits.

Wonder if opening at Birmingham is for Puckett

Do we really have to bring up KW picks?

The question should’ve been “ do our pitchers throw too many pitches?”

Konerko 2004-2007

Make it Dakota Hudson and I’m all in.

The best player on a shit team is meaningless. His value is on the field for a team ready to win now. Not a rebuilding team. 75% or more of the guys on the Sox right now will not be on the team when the rebuild is over.

Unless you eat all or most of his salary. I don’t see any reason the Sox wouldn’t do that. Their payroll is next to nothing.

JD Martinez will be 31 in August. Abreu turned 31 in January. Wonder why we hear nothing about his age? Must be because he hasn’t had a slump yet.

These “1 question with Ricky” are horrible.

Majority of managers are ex-players. Do you mean ex Sox players?

I wouldn’t be ok with Rowand or A.J. If only we could get Hahn to admit Omar is being groomed for the next manager’s job.

New hashtag for 2019 draft: #TankWinsForHankins

All 3 of those guys have excelled with the teams they went to. Abreu is no different.

Ideal situation would be Vizquel getting the manager job. Have him progress in the minors right along with the young guys. They’ll grow with Omar, Omar will grow with them.

This forum would’ve lost their shit if the Sox took the deal the Pirates did if we had Garret Cole. His performance with the Pirates isn’t close to what it is now with the Astros. Do you think if Cole pitched the way he is now with the Pirates they would’ve taken that deal? Hahn will not take a deal like that knowing what the team trading for Abreu is going to get in return. If the Astros won’t give Hahn what he’s looking for then next team up.

Desperate is definitely not something the Astros are. They do have to look at who the other teams in the playoffs will be and determine if adding another player will help solidify a position of need for them. I’d think the Yankees would be a little more desperate at the first base position more than the Astros.

KW’s ego and Robin Ventura are definitely in the top 5 reasons

Funny that articles are being written about a guy that was overlooked for 2 stellar months in Charlotte before someone removed their head from their ass and got him up here. The purpose signing him was to prove he can still pitch, and be flipped if he succeeded. Can’t wait for the “Gomez comes out of nowhere” article in August.

Only 40 hit and 35 power? Wonder if his “high back elbow” has been changed in any way since last December?

At least we can’t trade him for James Shields if we end up signing him.

I prefer something more radical like detracting 2 teams, and having a draft of those players for the next 8 teams with the lowest attendance. Everything is financially driven and the players union and MLB wouldn’t allow it. Blah, blah, blah. Does MLB really need a team in Tampa and Miami?

Guess that’s our loss
