New strategy for Vargas. Don’t swing the bat and perhaps you will get in base.

Jankowski has received full runs elsewhere. He’s 33 years old. The back of his baseball card wasn’t suddenly going to change… .235 / .319 / .304 / .623

Matchups only matter if the batter isn’t an absolutely horrendous hitter against pitchers that throw with either arm.

More years of Getz half-assing a rebuild and picking the wrong players. Exciting…

Jerry “Rachel Phelps” Reinsdorf. Apparently we have to wait for nature to run its course.

Holy bat speed, Batman! Looks like the video was sped up when he swings. @fathom will love that.

As long as you set up your anti-cheat system…

Cubs are rolling. For as much hate as Ricketts gets, Sox fans have no room to talk. You can say Ricketts doesn’t spend as much as he should, but come on… he’s light years better than Reinsdorf.

Da da da daaa, da da daaaaaaa…

Well, I would have guessed you were as old as me due to your avatar of the greatest Nintendo 64 game of all time — Goldeneye 007. But that game came out in 1997 and your profile says you were born in 1992. 🤔 But I guess your could just be a big James Bond fan, even though Pierce wasn’t the greatest Bond of all time…

Greg is in his 60’s?

I honestly don’t know what Getz is good at but maybe his willingness to upgrade the org to the latest and greatest technology and data analytics is his thing. I don’t think he’s a good GM overall because he continues to waste money on bad vets and chooses the wrong prospects in trades. And for as much as the team should be using DA and stats, Getz hired a manager that continues to play his buddy in Jankowski that wouldn’t be on any other MLB team’s active roster. The fact that Getz added Jankowski and Venable keeps starting him tells me they are on the same page with an awful player starting for their team. In any case, Getz is most definitely gone the second Ishbia officially owns the team.

100% agreed. He got the GM job too early. Maybe he will be good eventually, but it’s obvious that he is in over his head right now. These guys all have their faults. Hahn’s top skill was negotiating player contracts, even though they all ended up poorly. He wasn’t very good at much else. Jerry is old and comfortable. He got his WS in 2005. I know you are not a fan of Ishbia but just imagine if the guy actually wants to win and throws money at this team? I’m excited for a new owner and a TRUE house cleaning of the organization.

Look at all of Getz’s transactions since he was promoted. It’s obvious that Jerry gave him the job with the knowledge that he would have to cut payroll massively. How many trades have we seen where the Sox are getting cash considerations back? They are playing the extremely cheap and long game. Slashing the payroll and losing is quite literally the strategy. On pace for 40/41 wins. No help will be coming and Robert is ensuring that we won’t get another return of decent prospects this season. Six pitchers need TJ surgery. Vargas is as bad as last year. Davis Martin and his kick change garbage just got absolutely shellacked by a division rival. Getz has put together an absolute mess. Hahn and Kenny were way better than this clown, as pathetic as that is.

Ironically, they are now on pace for 40 to 41 wins.

3 series — 3 series losses. Fire Getz?

Close to?

Bases loaded, nobody out, 1 run.

This team is inferior to the entire rest of the MLB.

Sizemore is just chilling now with no spotlight on him.

Martin is the sacrificial lamb for the bullpen. How many runs can he give up?

Team is still as dumb under Venable as they were under Grifol.

LOL @ Baldwin!

Davis, you can go ahead and dropkick your drop change into Lake Erie.
