So we have one good pitcher (Giolito), two question marks (Lopez and Cease), and two pitchers coming back from surgeries (Kopech and Rodon). Hahn basically has to sign Cole and Wheeler/Bumgarner to have a shot next year.

?

How does a starting pitcher not have command of their fastball? This is like the #1 thing you need as a starter.

Trade everyone -- Colome, Abreu, Leury, Nova, etc.

Nice bat flip, Kepler. There has to be better things to do on your Friday night than watch this awful Sox team. ?

This has to be a coaching problem at this point. These aren't the same outfielders botching every damn play. No one knows how to call for a play and lead the fucking outfield.

The Sox outfield defense is a fucking embarrassment.

Fucked on that pitch.

Stone jumped the gun on saying Cease had more control in this start.

He was making fun of you using the word "to" instead of "too."

I really would love to see us trade some combination of whatever we have left (Colome, Abreu, Leury, etc.) for a top 75 outfielder prospect since team's probably don't want to give up good pitching prospects for our guys. The idea of a young hitter at every position is really ideal to me. Then, throw all your money at pitching.

Play for one run and get none. Good job, Ricky, you chumpstain.

He is aging right before our very eyes.

Bunting in the first inning with no outs and a runner already in scoring position. Wow. I know Jay was likely bunting for a hit but that just shows how ineffective bunting is. That was an almost perfect bunt by Jay and he still got thrown out. Ricky needs to go... or build a time machine and teleport himself back to the old school era of baseball.

Leury is just a good little player. I have to imagine a ton of contenders would want him, and may give up a decent prospect for him with one year of control left at a cheap price.

THERE YA GO! HUGE DP! Good job, Cease.

Thanks for that insight, Greg. ?

Cease's control is not good at all.

Bob Rosenberg changed it to E3.

They have to change it. That was most definitely an error.

Grandpa Abreu botches a routine play.

Was Giolito pitching?

Eloy looks like he could play right now.

True. Ironically, not signing Machado could have been a gift as Moncada has excelled at 3B, Madrigal is set to take over 2B, and the Sox obviously need starting pitching the most. But like you said, now the Sox get to compete with a bunch of other teams for the top starting pitchers.

He has good numbers against lefties but if you let him face a righty, he gets shellacked.
