fathom Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Gets it up to 97. Will only have to worry about 2 pitches. Fastball seems flat though. Not saying it will work, but worth a try. This starting thing isn't working for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balfanman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I have no idea what this management team will actually do the next 2 weeks or so. I was really hoping that after the all star break the team would make it very clear what direction to take, buy or sell, and so far they have. I really, really hope that, as much as it goes against the big inner Sox fan in me, that they keep on looking absolutely horrible for the rest of the month. That would make the decision extremely clear. If that happens, the Sox brain trust, at least in my mind, better be selling like gang busters. If they aren't really selling at that point, I'll have my answer in no uncertain terms on their competency. That being said, they will probably go 8 - 6 the rest of July and screw us again.

Dick Allen Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) You can trade Robertson and still compete in the next few years. They wasted a first round pick on a closer, might as well groom him for that Not a waste if he is good. It could have been Courtney Hawkins.

flavum Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) I am not going to argue with folks with closed minds or those who can't appreciate how hard this game us. It's one thing to complain or bevuoset, I get that we all are, but be realistic about our options. I like all you guys but negative thoughts and comments and the constant bit**ing does nothing but promote more negativity It's called being realistic and trying to come up with constructive thoughts about modern baseball. The Sox aren't playing modern baseball and it's frustrating. Just putting a smile on our faces and hoping they win today's game is for some people, and that's fine. But you need to let people vent. This isn't a contest to see who can be the biggest homer and loyal to the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) Sox probably need a Bill Wirtz like passing for that to happen sad enough to say or think. JR won't sell given his age. This exactly. Unfortunate but true. The Sox will be stuck in mediocrity as long as the current ownership group is in charge. Don't have the balls to blow it up and won't open the pocketbooks to bring in any top flight free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) About as to be expected by Turner. my question is What is on the front office's mind? . Why bring a guy up to pitch when his AAA numbers are a 4.71 ERA with 29 walks? How in the world do they expect this guy to compete with Major league pitching? So what in the friggin' purpose of this move? If that is the best that we have in our system, then geeeez we have absolutely no chance whatsoever.

So glad I did not waste my time watching this game. Makes little to no sense why they call up Fulmer to have him sit on the bench and trot this a****** to the mound. Fulmer could have at least gotten his feet wet in the starting role. Edited July 17, 2016 by CWSpalehoseCWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
