Why was the loss bad?

If he takes your advice he'll start looking like Colon everywhere else too

Did this future DFA candidate have control issues in the minors too?

Schriffen just called this a "monster series" for the Sox Anyone want to elaborate on what the f*** he's talking about?

Maybe this has been discussed but when was the last time the Sox weren't scheduled to play on a Sunday mid season?

He does nothing well

Wait what

Ask @southsider2k5. He thinks they handled it well

Just because Thorpe's stuff sucks we all assume he'll be "figured out" once guys have film Maybe that just happened to Crochet but it took longer because his stuff is so much better

And in 2019 he played the OF in 93% of his games. It increased to 98% in 2020. 67% in 2021 So yeah, they eventually figured it out. An entire major league organization let this dumbass tell them where he'd play for his first few years despite 9 IL/DL stints from 2019-2021 because they're- again- soft as baby s%*#

You're inventing excuses. Yes Profar is a bust. Of course it's hindsight. You know what isn't hindsight? Knowing Nicky Lopez sucks. Profar has more talent in his ballsack than Lopez has in his entire body. Yeah Profar stinks defensively but remember Getz brought in a bunch of guys to improve the defense so they could sacrifice it elsewhere! Oh wait they blow defensively too I'm not pounding the table for Profar necessarily. What I am saying is bringing in Nicky Lopez was never going to be a positive

Now do the previous 3 years when he couldn't stay healthy to save his life

The Sox wouldn't primarily DH him because they're soft as baby s%*# and let him force their hand due to his opinion of "I'm not a DH, I'm a baseball player" No you're a gigantic, out of shape, oaf who happens to play baseball. Sit your ass down until it's your turn to bat

Omar Vizquel and Darryl Boston

We're agreeing with one another We literally did and you just said it. Profer also has more than 1 good year. He had a few with an OPS north of .750 iirc. Lopez is complete s%*# and does nothing well. I'm sick of the WAR argument. Moncada had a season where his WAR was really good and anyone with 2 eyes could've told you it was misleading

I believe we all knew he'd be better than Nicky fucking Lopez based on everything and poof, he has been! Isn't that crazy? Getz sucks

And there will be more than 1 option every offseason including this one, so why would he come here as opposed to, oh I don't know, any other opening?

To be fair why would anyone good want to come here? The owner is a careless cheapskate. The GM is in way over his head and likely doesn't have GM duties. La Russa probably has more power than Getz and is a piece of s***. The players suck. The farm is in the top 10 in baseball but no real great prospects are in there. They aren't getting anybody special no matter what

Poor bastard

The owner and his buddy, Tony, just as it's been for the last few years

They're going to fire Stone or will he retire?

Remember when firing Rick Renteria was the solution?

Good thing Katz got to stick around and that Getz was hired because fans deserved a quick turnaround 4 more losses and it's a modern day record right? Remember when they beat Colorado earlier this year and some posters were like "the Rockies are way worse?" Good times

Vargas is a good fit because he strikes out a bunch
