Look at Ray Ray Run

So this was caufield calling the dodgers great apparently. Guy asked if trading Verdugo for betts was a bad move hahaha Let's review. Caufield calls padres the best young team In nl and the future best team in the NL. Someone points out the dodgers. Caufield says they're "weak" in all these places. I point out the dodgrrs arent just old and great but young and great too. Caufield said he never said the dodgers weren't the ones to beat.... So moral of the story is caufield just wanted to bring the padres and tatis up again.

Yes, someone who will not have even appeared in a game above A ball going into 2021 is going to lead the Rays to a World Series title. What is old about the Dodgers? They have a top tier farm system with an elite MLB product.. No idea where you see them falling off. They literally have no where for Garvin Lux to play currently and you're calling them not deep ha

Cleveland has the worst offense in baseball. I'd be surprised if they won the division.

the only thing toxic about soxtalk is the game threads. i've said that many times. it's a bunch of guys critiquing every move because they read a stat once. sox pitching collective output is better than the individual talent of the unit. usually a manager is directing a staff well then.

What did you see? Explain to me what you saw in Dylan that was different than innings past. VElocity the same. Spin on his off-speed, the same. Nothing said he was tiring. He was as dangerous as he was earlier; he floated a breaking ball - something he had also done earlier in the game. Schwarber didn't miss. that's baseball. the humor of all of this is you constantly saying i defend ricky. I said yesterday he was a HORRIBLE strategic manager. I find it absolutely hilarious that the things SOxtalk complain about the most, are actually the things that you could argue ricky isn't really bad or good at; the pitching staff performance is a better indicator of a pitchers handling than soxtalk posters opinions. sox are overperforming. people are being maximized. that tells me the manager, who knows more about his guys because he actually works with them directly, likely has a better idea than you about things.

The sox are in the process of trying to build Cease up period. They already got screwed by the shortened season in the year you'd like to get him near 200 IP. Now you want to limit him to 5 innings a start and 80-90 pitches. That's a wasted year of arm strength growth/development imo.

Darvish has been fantastic; wish Ross treated him like Soxtalk posters want to treat every starter.

no, because their starters are bad anddddd because no one had time to build up arm strength as usual so guys were throwing fewer innings and pitches. The only way to change that? YUou guessed it... to throw more innings and pitches in a start.

Said it below, but Sox have warmed guys up in a second plenty of time. I still remember a classic Jon Garland story though regarding that. For his entire career before ozzie, whenever he got into trouble he said he'd turn around and look at the bullpen getting ready knowing he was done. then in one of his first few starts with guillen as manager, he loaded the bases and looked to the bullpen to see no one warming up. guillen came out and asked him what the fuck he was looking at, this was his mess. Garland went on to change as a pitcher after that and he credits that. I'm not saying that's what just happened at all, for the record, i"m just saying these are human beings. Not statistical robots out there to product their baseball card.

The sox have warmed up guys 1 batter before pulling him multiple times already this season. Cease got out of the inning. Guys give up runs sometimes. That's how the game works. Cease was rolling. To pull him is just an idiotic move made by a bunch of doomsday panicked forum posters.

Oh, the Sox have used their relievers plenty. And you guys don't want ANY reliever in the game. You want the same guys in every single game that is close and you want them in before the 7th inning. Even when the starter is rolling. It's just hilarious.

Yes, a great way to develop a young pithcer is to always say you're not good enough to go into the 6th, or throw starter pitch counts, even though you just got 5 outs last inning and pitched around your defense crushing you. He made one mistake that inning; he wasn't tired. Shit happens. My lord. this is just nauseating to read. GO TO THE BULLPEN for every single decision. It's embarrassing.

yes, starters should never ever give up runs. Cease goes 6 IP and gives up 2 runs and you clowns are shaming the coach. This is just a joke at this point.

HE LOADED THE BASES? LOLOLOL He got 5 fcking outs in the inning. How did he load the bases?

Damn McCann, thought he should have went high fastball there. Oh, and before anyone said Ricky should have pulled him; it's very obvious Ricky is getting these guys up past 100 pitches on purpose right now. The Sox are half way through the season, guys need to get ready. Cease has been great. You guys act like anytime someone gives up a hit they should be done. SMH.

I have issues with taking a 2 minute break during the middle of a 2-2 count. I can't take a two minute break as the fcking hitter. Pitchers suck

Yu 100% thinks we're stealing the signs. Hes so domed up. Astros broke him.

Kevin Keirmaier is an all-time elite defensive CF'er.

Getting on top of pitches that you're supposed to either crush or pop up isn't a great thing to see.

Mazara just missed three spinners in one at bat. That's impressive.

Jose is now going to be "randomly selected" to piss in a cup for about a week via MLB. That's usually how these guys "randomly" chosen.

It's almost like Jose is back in the cuban league.

9 hits against in 18 innings. Lets go pitching staff! Sox have hit more home runs jn the last 7 days than 6 teams have hit all season.

If someone gets on vs colome, which is the norm, this is his pace. He has done this shit dating all the way back to Tampa. Its deliberate. Hes not that bad when no one is on but still not great.

Is benetti on drugs? A snail runs a marathon faster than colome completes a typical outing.
