Grifol gonna Grifail.

Agreed, I just don’t think teams will view him as a guy like Lynn or Giolito with a history of past success so they won’t give up a big return for him, although the second cheap year of control will likely boost his value a bit like you said. But this is assuming he keeps this up until the trade deadline…

I watched up to the 8th inning after Kopech had shat himself. I knew what was coming so I switched over to Shogun as well. Great move by us.

Exactly. People must forget how Hawk would go silent for innings at a time whenever the Sox were losing. With this team and it’s losing ways, he’s be fuming and Stone would have to carry each broadcast.

Yeah, cuz our lineups could never hit lefties/junkballers. He was mediocre to bad against most other teams.

“I can’t wait either.”

You gotta admit, his hyping of Bruce “Cy” Chen whenever he faced the Sox was other worldly levels of embarrassment.

No one shits himself in bigger situations than Kopech. It will be nice to finally be rid of this bust at the deadline.

$75 million dollar man comes through!

Time to retire, Vaughn.

So is any team out there interested in giving up anything for a 1B/DH on a hot streak playing out of position in RF? If so, Getz needs to move him as fast as he can.

Easy answer there. Great show.

Fedde, throw a shutout. No pressure.

Would you trust one from Jerry?

I assume there is already some sort of handshake deal with the mayor for them to make this most recent announcement a day before they draft Caleb..

You mean any “qualified” candidate. Chris Getz was just a guy taking a big promotion he wasn’t worth of. It probably didn’t matter to him if he was going to have a $50 million dollar payroll restriction. Like you said, he kissed the ring and got promoted to a position that no other team would have given him.

The problem with Getz’s offseason was that he already had a questionable lineup of injury-prone (Eloy, Moncada, Robert) and/or unproductive/disappointing players (Vaughn, Benintendi) and he chose to add four starters or platoon starters that are mostly terrible. Getz left zero room for error in the form of a player or two having a down year or getting injured.

You would need to be comforted too if your family member was cannibalized in Papua New Guinea.

If you consider a “star” player one that can OPS .750, we will never agree on anything, nor will anyone else on this message board. An MLB “star” player = .750 OPS? Seriously? It’s not 1975.

These stats are amazing. Some of these things haven’t ever happened before in MLB history. I realize JR had Getz cut a ton of salary but the Sox still don’t have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. The average GM couldn’t make his team this bad in one offseason if he was actually TRYING to. Astonishing.

Not a personal shot. I believe you stated in another thread that you are 61 or so.

Three “stars” who are frequently injured? Who are the other two “stars” after Robert? Regardless, keep making this same ridiculous argument considering they have barely played with each other. ?

I’m in my early 40’s. Last I remember, you are old enough to be my dad, but I won’t stoop to your level of taking personal shots. If no one on this board could post about Sox players performances, there would be hardly any posts. Also, it isn’t a slump when sucky players suck. It is reality.

Probably need a comma in there after Pham. I can see how caulfield read it that way.
