Really don't know what more Albers needs to do to get DFA. Rather see Ynoa or Fulmer get a chance here.

 

This would be a learning opportunity for those guys, Kanhle....basically anyone else BUT Albers.

 

At least some things don't change much. Ventura maintaining his predictable ways until the very end. Well, perhaps he learned not to walk the bases loaded with Jennings out there and a leadoff hitter on 3rd.

You've just provided Brooks Boyer his marketing campaign for next season, unfortunately.

Robin concedes too many games. Putting in Albers in extra innings means throwing in the towel. I do think the DFA finally is coming. Albers is incapable of getting big league hitters out.

Eaton didn't exactly resemble Willie Mays on that single up the middle by Cain. Not that it matters with Albers. Is he one of the worse pitchers in modern day Sox history?

Nate Jones is not a closer folks (neither is Robertson).

 

Something about Kansas City and the Sox bullpen isn't there?

 

Fourth game THIS SEASON the Sox led K.C. in the 7th inning or later...and lost.

KC definitely has had the Sox number for the last few seasons.

So the free agents Hahn signed this offseason were:

 

- Avila

- Jackson

- Navarro

- Albers

- Rollins

- Latos

 

That's impressive

WAR:

 

0.7

0.0

-0.2

-0.9

-0.1

0.0

 

Total: -0.5 WAR for $17m.

 

And I'd argue a good bit worse than -0.5 when accounting for Navarro's framing.

 

Yikes.

I'd be curious what $25M would buy.

Wasn't Hahn on the radio recently talking about how great Sox management was at finding pitching? They're good at finding the occasional starter, but they can't find relief pitching with a roadmap.

you sure post like you very strongly dislike the handling of this team. does that more fit how you post about the owner. You really enjoy playing the semantics game.

 

I've never said in any post the owner sucks. I've been saying the opposite. He has done many good things for the organization and baseball itself for that matter.

 

Yes, you always respond that the owner is the issue.

For example?
