I think you overrate the pitching staff. Giolito is proven. Other than that Cease is a one year wonder that throws 100 pitches in five innings too often. Kopech is a never was. Lynn is fat and washed up. Then you have the family guy. And the hitters are worse.

This. I don’t think the talent is there. It never was.

And if you opined that Hahn didn’t know what he was doing you were a closet Cubs fan. Or a meathead that didn’t understand the modern game.

The fans will hate you in another city because you’re just an a-hole…. Anderson

You’re right and he’s probably the only semi-credible person that would take the job.

Which is just hilarious. They crapped in the bed and now they don’t want to sleep in their feces-stained bed.

One of the few enjoyable moments this season.

Yes it seems like nearly every game they score under three runs. I remember when people thought they had a murderers row. That was funny.

He screamed racial epithets at others in the past. Wouldn’t be surprised if he directed it at Grifol or other teammates as well.

I don’t think it’s 40%

“I have never wished death on anyone but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

He seems to be a narcissist to me. He might have made a better boxer than a team sport player.

Fair enough. From the comments on this thread it seems that he makes more than just the racists seethe.

What is so likable about him?

How many times is he going to get the excuse “stuff going on in his life affecting things”? It seems to happen every year. At what point does he get labeled a weak-minded person for not being able to handle the stuff (mostly self inflicted) that goes on in his life.

Yes I’m saying where is the Sox’ version of WS winning Strasburg (if one is going to say they are the equivalent of the 2019 Nationals).

Who is the Sox Bryce Harper? Steven Strasburg? Max Scherzer? Heck they don’t even have a Kyle Schwarber.

Wow I stand corrected. I thought they cooled off a lot more than that after the 35-5 start. The Royals we’re a disaster that year. 1984 still one of the worst years. Especially with Tom Seaver.

Oh I know they won’t rid themselves of the divisions but it makes no sense once you go to a balanced schedule.

Yes I think .500 is their ceiling and they won’t reach that. Especially once they sell at the deadline. I still think they lose 90+.

If they are going with a balanced schedule they should get rid of divisions altogether.

.600 is what the OP pointed out that they’ve played in this stretch. Also is Minnesota going to play this poorly? And Cleveland? And Detroit?

It’s not being doomsday. It’s based in Realville.

The 1984 Tigers beg to differ.

I don’t think there’s anybody alive that thinks this team can play .600, let alone .500, the rest of the way.
