I likely feel the same way as you about Ellis. However, it doesn’t make sense to dump younger players to retain horrible old vets with expiring contracts in a losing season. And this isn’t the first time Getz has dumped a younger player to retain garbage.

Give that man an extension.

The Sox have done the same thing when they have actually been in competition, which is few and far between. I don’t see what the big deal is.

Ours still takes the cake…

So you don’t care about a historic loss record but you kept posting a much more trivial no shutout streak record? Yeah… Smells like ? to me.

.734 OPS. I’m patiently waiting for the Yankees to trade for Sheets with Rizzo injured.

Judging by his panicked frantic scrambling of the roster, Getz does.

Well, the all time worst record in 162 games is still in range but you go ahead and focus on shutouts. ?

Must defend a shitty team… AT.ALL.COSTS. The only thing more ridiculous and amusing is the NO SHUTOUT STREAK COUNTER!!! Nevermind that amazing run differential that the Sox have.

I don’t need anyone to fight my battles. @T R Ucan confirm that you said it, old man. Maybe you forgot in your old age?

You should have. Your post would have actually made sense then.

Yes, you did. @T R U can confirm.

Neither does Maldonado. He can’t play defense or hit. Walked right into that one, didn’t ya? ?

Why would you keep Maldonado over any young player? Please provide rationale for keeping Maldonado on this roster.

1 run games by an MLB offense are so much better than a shutout. Who cares about a -159 run differential? As long as you don’t get shut out!!!

I don’t give a sh1t about prospect rankings. Are you a huge Maldonado fan or something? Why would you not cut him loose and keep the younger player in a horrible losing season? Do you also think Mena sucks and love the Fletcher trade?

I love how the two Getz water carriers on this message board claim that all of our prospects are so great, until Getz dumps one of them. Once Getz gets rid of a prospect, said prospect is sh1t and will always be sh1t. One of them said Shane Drohan was one of our 15th best pitching prospects, and then Getz DFA him two weeks later. Oops. Biggest homers ever. Really embarrassing.

Totally, finding new and embarrassing ways to lose each and every day. The important thing is that they didn’t get shut out. They managed to score one whopping run. No shutout streak still intact. Another notch on the Sox belt.

I don’t even like Ellis much, but in a losing season, you don’t dump a 26 year old to keep the worst catcher in history on your roster with an expiring contract.

Crochet and Fedde are the only two deserving.

You can rip on Ellis all you want. It still doesn’t explain or justify Getz’s awful roster management at all. Not sure why you can’t admit this and have to attack the player that doofus Getz cut when he still has hot garbage like Maldonado on the roster.

Bwahahaha, they just played a hype video for Andrew Vaughn.

But it’s like a car crash on the highway. You can’t help but slow down to see what happens.
