Oh, Eloy…

He was good in June. Bad in his last two outings and the rest of the season. If you think pitchers with a 5.25 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP are good, the more power to you. Another feather in Getz’s cap. ?

That’s actually impressive. Record is usually an overrated stat for most pitchers but in Soroka’s case, it perfectly matches up with his performance.

Buxton is awesome. How often does he turn a single into a double, especially against the Sox?

I bet you could still beat him to first base though.

And you frame just about every move Getz makes as a positive, which is even more insincere. I remember you talking about how Brad Keller was a good pickup. Give it up already.

Yep. And if the Sox had any sort of average offense, those 2 runs wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Schriffen still talking about how gingerly Eloy is running to first base. Get rid of this walking injury.

He doesn’t have to be perfect but he really has to limit those terrible meatballs that end up right in the hitter’s wheelhouse.

Yikes. Those were uh some spicy uh meatballs…

It’s a message board about the Sox. WE calls me a moron and I don’t care. Personally, I think Getz is a terrible GM and while WE may fluff up bums like Sheets and Julks, I think they will be out of baseball in a couple years. You also seem to get upset that not everyone thinks that Getz is doing a good job and you make excuses for him. Reinsdorf specifically chose him because he said he wouldn’t need a full season to assess the team. Obviously that was a load of BS but Getz has made some weird and stupid decisions that to me, outweigh his good ones.

He needs to do more than that. Let’s see a .280/.900 line with 20 homers by the deadline and he’ll be moved.

At least “YEAH BUDDY!” lives another day.

Creepy vibes…

I don’t agree with simply calling up everyone. Getz did it with Ramos and obviously he wasn’t ready. At some point it will have to happen though. There is zero point in continuing to play Mendick for example. But my point was that you try to polish every turd that Getz serves up to us as having some redeeming quality, when that is rarely the case. Sheets has little to no value and Julks is a fourth outfielder at best. No one even wants Zavala.

YEAHHH BUDDY!!!

I’d probably do it, haha. At least we would finally have one superstar player that we either keep missing out on or that is always injured (see Tatis Jr., Harper, Robert).

YEAHHH, BUDDY!

No one would argue Crochet being undeserving of the All-Star team, but nice hyperbole. Aren’t you the same poster that was touting the great development of Sheets and was also slotting in Julks as a starting corner outfielder next year because of a couple hot streaks just a few weeks ago? Maybe the Sox can also reacquire one of their most amazing developed players — Seby Zavala. The Mariners have DFA him twice in the past few weeks and he accepted both outrights to the minors because he is such a valuable and desirable player.

Yep, that is it. He last pitched on July 3rd.

I don’t think these guys are bad, just not necessarily ready. I realize it’s a unique situation cuz of the double header but Eder gets the call after a 9.00 ERA with 5 homers surrendered in his last 3 starts. Getz gonna Getz.

The ironic thing is that Nardi doesn’t have to look any further than the guy on the mound for the Sox for yet another example of a pitcher who may not be ready.

I don’t think this is a crazy ask and I would think Orioles fans would be all over it. Perhaps the Sox can actually do better from some other team?

Your first post said more than a year away and now it’s two years away? Which is it? Actually, nevermind, I don’t care. In case you haven’t noticed by this entire season of transactions, you don’t actually have to earn a call up to receive one from Getz, lol.

Not me. 2.99 ERA and he’s probably still not good enough for Orioles fans.
