As someone who had to deal with vestibular neuritis after a nasty sinus infection... I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Permanent damage and a solid 2-3 months of therapy just to feel normal again.

It's been such a long time since I remember the Sox having an affiliate absolutely dominate like that.

Not necessarily. If both of those guys are listening to coaches, putting in the work, and trying to perform but failing, then why would the coaches have issues with them? Their effort is there, they are trying, they just aren't getting it done. I don't think Colas is a guy who is willing to put it all out there to effectively get better. Like I said - I think this is a Yermin Mercedes 2.0 situation all over again and none of us know what has actually went on (in 2023) with him. Jared Kelenic was described as the same way in Seattle when he first came up.

I don't think it's ever been a talent issue, it's a between the ears issue. Hahn anointed him starting RF well before 2023 ST. He did well, but the league figured him out quickly, and now we have a kid who either isn't making the right adjustments or is too dumb enough to listen. It's Yermin Mercedes all over again.

I just need them to hit 62 wins so my over bet hits ?

He’s on a little over $1M deal, he’s a pretty low risk option for a team looking a little help.

I 100% agree. Kopeck is good as gone with how valuable relievers are at the deadline.

Sitting and doing nothing has never solved any problem. At least you can fire and remove one aspect of the team. The guy isn't qualified to be a manager. It doesn't matter the talent level of the players. Rid yourself of whatever filth you can and at least send some sort of message the organization has a pulse.

The logical choice is Cannon, especially with Clevinger going to be added fairly soon.

That was a fun game. Let's try to do more of that please.

Isn't there a specific amount of time required before he can be called back up unless filling in for an injury? Pretty sure they have to wait more than a few days.

Wonder who goes. Mendick needs to be added to the 40-man.

They were after Whit. He picked the better team. As pretty much every FA would have done. Only reason Pham is here is because no one came calling in the offseason and the Sox can pretty much guarantee playing time for him to prove his worth so he can get traded to a contender.

We can't fall victim into believing that all of Nastini, Cannon, Thorpe, etc. are going to be hits. I'm totally fine with trading Fedde if a competitor offers a decent package, but the Sox need some sort of veteran presence that can give you 150+ innings. Let the arms force their way in, and keep amassing as much depth as possible.

Ding, ding, ding! Signals to the masses that he is "taking charge." Wonder how many times he said they need to flush these first two weeks?

No reason to not let the kids get that experience over some washed up arm like Flexen. At least they are quick to pivot in that regard.

Fletcher was actually known for his glove where Colas is not. Yes, he played CF in the minors, but a lot of young players who are top prospects get looks in CF to see if they can stick. Colas is a corner, not a CF. Can he play there in a pinch? Yes, but he belongs in RF where his cannon of an arm plays best.

He looked the part in ST. I honestly think the only reason he was even sent down is to get an extra year of control.

Charlotte is one of the worst parks to evaluate pitching prospects. I wouldn't worry about 1 bad start to start the year.

MiLB deal. Obviously he is gonna get a shot, but he must be extremely desperate.

You're right, except now this organization would have to drastically overpay to get a guy to willingly choose to sign here - something they've never ever been able to do. Adams and Kim are both going to have big markets and thus the Sox will be left standing with their thumbs up their ass if by some miracle they actually did decide to go after a big name. No way any FA worth a damn is gonna want to come here.

I have no doubt JR is so delusional he believed he was assembling 2005 2.0 with this team of nobody's.

Or he deserves all the blame. I'll never apologize to that crusty asshole.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd love to see a 1-20 start by this team. I really want to see how K-Mart Mr. Clean and Getz answer to something that catastrophic.

Or he sees what a shitshow this roster is and wants no part of it. He isn’t stupid.
