Fletcher isn’t ready? Dude will be 27 in a couple months. He played last year and hit well in a small sample size. Getz obviously thought he was the real deal to give up Mena for him. If Fletcher isn’t ready now, he’ll never be ready. Which would mean he was a bad acquisition. My point was you just made up a complete and utter bullshit excuse for two of Getz’s acquisitions — that they somehow tanked with their bats cuz they had to play CF.

Fletcher and Pillar crumbled when they had to play CF? Interesting. Not sure how you can just pull this assumption out of somewhere… Fletcher hit well for the Diamondbacks while he playing some CF for them last year and Pillar’s bat sure doesn’t seem to be affected by having to play some CF for the Angels once he left the Sox.

I’d like to see a response to this. So Getz acquired a bunch of garbage vets because he knew they would be bad? No, that doesn’t make sense. He acquired them because he thought they would improve the team. So why is there no questioning of the types of players that Getz valued in the offseason?

He has 52 major league at bats combined between last year and this year. Corey Julks went from a supposed starting outfielder to a bench player in 94 at bats this season. ?

Bingo. I think Getz actually thought he was making good acquisitions that would improve the team. Instead, he built one of the worst rosters of all time.

Nah, JR is usually smoking a $50 dollar cigar and either blaming Sox fans for all of his supposed woes or laughing at how stupid Sox fans are as he puffs away.

That Crochet trade proposal is ridiculous. We would get three starting position players and a starting pitcher to replace Crochet in the rotation? Sure, sign me up. Baltimore probably wouldn’t even offer half of that.

Spot on. Only 19 strikeouts and a poor 1.42 WHIP in 31 innings. Shuster’s 3.48 ERA is the ball finding Sox gloves. He’s bad but lucky. Gowens has some nice strikeout numbers but he will be a 25 year old finishing Single A. I don’t see too much to be excited about but he’s the only player of value they got back. Soroka, Lopez, and Shewmake are all terrible and should be gone after this season. Hahn or Getz probably could have received a better return for Bummer by going for quality (1 or 2 prospects) instead of quantity like Getz went for, just to fill roster spots cheaply (and poorly).

You just mentioned two of Getz’s primary offseason acquisitions to improve the team’s defense and leadership. If you seemingly know those moves were bad, why do you not blame Getz for making them?

So basically no different than your opinion right here?

News flash. He’s bad.

Agreed, I wasn’t correcting you. I just saw the update on Twitter and shared it.

Fedde and Crochet will. Flexen won’t.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic Lip.

But it wasn’t just a sweep. It was a sweep with two shutouts and the Sox scored their only 3 runs in a single inning. The Sox get bonus points for being extra pathetic.

That would be if Chuck Garfien was the Sox GM.

Yes, and I don’t think tray intended it that way but I immediately noticed it and called it out in a post. But he also called me a moron so who knows? He has a bit of a temper. Better than being called a member of the KKK I guess…

So now I’m a member of the KKK because the census numbers are the numbers? You should be banned.

Majority is the majority. Why add two separate ethnicities together? White is still the majority. Period.

Oops. Maybe TaylorStSox can be a rude f*** to you now. ?

Guess not. Outscored 11-3 in the series. That won’t help the already ugly run differential either. ? -172

Beat me to it. Both tray and TaylorStSox are wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Chicago#

How about getting shut out twice in a single series instead of getting shut out once per series? They are improving at something!
