pcq Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Oakland had to fly all night on the Red Line to make it to the park on time. They should be exhausted. Fiers is a nobody nothing-burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Detwiler doesn't bother me like he does some of you. If we used an opener he would be pretty good I believe. Lefty who throws strikes works for me in a limited role. Edited August 9, 2019 by poppysox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Goins has a higher fWar, 0.9, than Eloy and Vladdy combined. 0.1, 0.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year when we have a lineup that can produce runs...you only need these 5th starter situations to keep you in the game. Not necessarily throw shutouts. I like our pitching for next year but some creativity will still be necessary. One way to us a starter who is lefty is pair him with a righty starter.

These small window observations don't mean a thing to me. He's not walking the bases full nor loading the bases every inning.

Something I’m looking forward to with the Sox being good in the future is many in the fan base realizing just how much most of these guys sucked during the rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
