Yep people always talking about him getting injured or fading down the stretch which may or may not be true this year. But people discount how pitching well during the regular season keeps you in games and helps you win during the season. More wins this season would be a good thing . He's still a likely 5 WAR pitcher. How many of those do we have anyway?

You know we actually agree on a few things. Menechino and trading some prospects . I've been arguing in the trade winds all day against everyone wanting to hang onto prospects who won't help in this window or who think that Sheets and Burger and Crochet is good enough to get Bryan Reynolds.to keep everyone and apparently rolling with what we have or thinking Crochet is some huge starting pitching guy worth keeping to extend the window. I've been like what window ? It might be already closed since the Sox have been playing .500 for a year thanks to the awesome roster construction and wasting money on a crap ton of relievers and Kimbrel/Pollock and not addressing the lack of Depth in starting pitching and especially some LHH bats !

Ok33 he's still a catcher coming off an injury and you are moving the goalposts. We were talking about his recent performance not how badly he sucked before he was IL'd. If my take was so bad how come Stone said the exact same thing about finding your stroke 1st and then the HR's come. I guess his take was terrible too. The Sox have 1 double in Coors Field so far and hit into multiple DP's. ANyone actually getting a hit with runners in scoring position would be great and God forbid anyone gets a double or hits a HR with people in scoring position and the 1 run the Sox got was on a DP ball that was booted.

If everyone had as many hits as Yas does in their last 20 AB's we wouldnt have trouble scoring. Yaz is a 35 year old catcher on bad knees and trying to find his stroke. If you have no patience for that and can't accept the singles possibly proceed finding the HR stroke you know nothing about baseball at all.

So he subscribed to the Menechino school of hitting lowered his hard hit rate and K's , hits less HRS now. Happ is coming here lol !

Sure they can extend it but who will be missing from the team in that extended time ? Who will be the starting 5 besides Kopech and Cease? Giolito is gone after 2023. Lynn likely gone also after 2023 unless they pick up his option when he's nearing 37. Will Eloy and Moncada be earning their money? Abreu might finally start showing his age by then. Cueto gone after this year. Then there's the mystery Robert illness to contend with. I mean that can end in less than a week but what if it doesn't ? We're supposed to be at the height of our window right now and we have a club full of DH's ,under performers and guys who cant stay on the field,and playing .500 ball.
