When I made the post, that was more of what I was focusing on when I said there is no real hope for actual change. This is a move I would love to see. Get Buehrle to take the job. I love pitchers who understand a fast pace with aggression can help a guy not overthink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point, but we have to stop acting like the rebuild isn't working. It's working. It's evident. Don’t lump me in with those thinking the rebuild is doomed though. I’ve been saying all year this season is overall a positive so far. Biggest thing is adding talented free agents this offseason to offset a lot of the prospect depth we’ve lost due to injuries and stagnation (any minor league pitcher besides Cease and any minor league outfielder besides Robert) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 These Sox Royals games seem to always be close. Let's pound Bailey now and open up this game. Nova can'y keep being this good for much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinsdorf has done enough damage to both his organizations hiring former players. The problem is, when they hit, it's a good thing. However, he clearly has a ton of trouble firing them.

fathom Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Eloy has got to stop guessing. He takes so many fastballs for strikes. I’m still shocked at how bad he is and how someone that used to make hitting look easy make it look so hard.
