I bet Nova doesn't even make it to July with the Sox. He's going to be worse than Giolito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, this bodes well for a write-in All Star candidate. Mendick walks, second baserunner of the game. Robert up. Luis flies out to LCF, 3/10 now. Chacin out of the game, thank god.

They consistently mis-evaluate these veterans...I wonder how much work on the analytics and film they do prior to acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks KW/Hahn, some truly uplifting stuff to hang our hats on. As to your point, sure, just like Chacin pitching just like he did last year on a playoff team is completely coincidental. Believe as you wish. This game (so far) isn’t causing anyone to look forward optimistically to the season in any facet, or line up at the ticket office. Period. Spring is supposed to be the season of hope, not despair. listening to Eucker retell the Covey (original Brewers’ pick before the diabetes diagnosis sabotaged him) story...that’s entertaining/uplifting, at least.

Last spring: Adam Engle hit 380 with an 1100 OPS Matt Davidson hit 330 with a 1000 OPS Skole hit 311 with a 950 OPS Chris Volstad threw 14 innings and gave up 0 runs Bruce Rondon threw 5 innings and walked 1 guy Giolito threw 17 innings with a 2 ERA and 17ks.

Many argued that Giolito was all set to dominate based on how well he looked at the end of 2017 and with increased velocity in ST 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust any hitter that has spent a significant amount of time in the Sox org to do anything immediately when called up. You warned everyone what was coming ? Eloy would hit poorly in spring training ? I need to know what the warning was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what the general reaction is going to be when it happens. even the best players go through slumps, regardless of whether it is poor luck or just sucking.

I know everyone feels like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulls the football away and good ol' Chuck ends up flat on his back once again. I keep hearing that it's not we lost Machado it's how we lost him because the Sox front office is inept.

If it happens to be right out of the gate, that is what I worry for the collective mental health of the fanbase. If Eloy comes up and struggles until August or September, the entire fanbase will collectively lose their shit, prove JR right, that this fanbase can't take a rebuild, and we will be doomed to another decade plus of mediocrity as they trade all of their talent away for a "quick fix" and end up with a 72-78 win team again, while their young players go flourish in other organizations. I warn everyone, don't lose your patience or you will be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
