  1. Well buckle up, because hes currently our #3 starter
  2. Good lord, Dunning 5.7 K/9 and he’s got 11 tonight. This team is straight ass.
  3. Probably looking too much into that. She worked in the Sox front office with KW, never with Hahn. She could just be referencing that previous relationship with the Sox organization and people there. I don’t recall her specifically saying she worked with KW on the trade.
  4. What you’re not into unathletic shortstops with slow swings?
  5. That’s 1.5 million every year until 2033. It’s not JUST 1.5 million.
  6. Guys, this team has NO PITCHING after this season. Its Cease, Kopech, and nothing. We can not roster 4-5 1B/DH type players there is nowhere for everyone to play. It doesnt matter if we had Jake Burger at every position, a rotation filled out with Touki Toussaint, Jesse Scholtens, and Tanner Banks isnt winning anything.
  7. How is that a spin, that's basic baseball strategy. Teams aren't going to let Burger launch home runs when they can just pitch to Sheets, Andrus, Zavala, etc.
  8. Ill believe it when I see it, KW has had a foot out the door for a while now I don't see how he goes back to being the GM. I haven't seen anything at all that indicated Rick Hahn has lost his job. And if Hahn has been internally fired but everyone, including Hahn, is pretending he is still GM until the season is over to save face or whatever it is they're doing then this organization is more pathetic than I could have ever imagined. I just don't understand at all how you could let a lame duck GM take lead on the future of your organization if you have already decided hes not the guy to lead the franchise. It makes no sense.
  9. He got walked 5 times in the 4 game Cleveland series. He hit 3 home runs the first two games and then did squat the next 2 games with 3 walks not because he suddenly became Kevin Youkilis, but because he is sandwiched between Grandal, Sheets, Colas, Andrus, etc. and there is no reason to pitch to him to let him run into a HR. Cleveland isn't managed by a dummy.
  10. Wouldn't he have said FROM the people in charge if he meant the front office? I kind of read that more like lets get to the end of the season and we will let you know the direction for the big league team. People in charge as coaching staff?
  11. I like the comp of a poor mans Mark Reynolds.
  12. We got him off the scrap heap, I would rather try to get another scrap heap reliever on the cheap than pay Middleton a few million dollars. You just gotta churn these guys in and out and hope to get a good season from them.
  13. Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see Jake Burger sock a few dingers?? Dingers! Dingers! Dingers!
  14. Oh no doubt, that’s happening for sure.
  15. We’re paying the noodle arm singles hitter in LF $17 million a year for the next 3 years. Eloy is 100% getting that option picked up, you can’t replace him any cheaper through FA.
  16. Jake Burger hit .146 in June with a .200! OBP. He’s hitting .197 over the last 28 days and he strikes out at almost 32%. He also cant play defense. He’s gonna hit 30 HRs, big deal. Sox have a chance to get a mid rotation starter out of this. It’s a no brainer.
  17. Since no one is going to tell you, he’s a pitcher bud
  18. It’s special because now they can rush these double a pitchers up next year to try and sell this “competing” facade
  19. There is nowhere for burger to play, he gawn so doesn’t matter now.
  20. Eloy is a better hitter than Jake Burger, why are we even discussing this? They traded the right guy.
  21. This is great, so long superstar.
  22. I meant that if were good by 2026 Robert will almost surely leave as a free agent after 2027 if he continues to play like he has because hes going to command a massive contract that we wouldn't give him.
  23. I can get on board with keeping Robert, but it requires trading Cease right now for a haul (If that's even possible) Even if everyone plays to their potential next season, there are far too many holes to realistically fill with quality major league players. The retool window would need to start opening in 2025 and I can certainly see that being attainable with a nice package for Cease now or in the off season while keeping Robert on this team.
