Keuchel and Ryu could have really solidified the rotation until the young arms developed. How are they going to develop on the bench? You'd be giving up and moving at least one of Kopech/Reylo/Cease to the pen when we already had Gio and Rodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still only down 3 runs and had the base loaded last inning. There are things to quibble over, sure, but people have already punted on the season.

You think it's a coincidence that the one decent game the Sox SP has had was the one McCann started? I think if Grandal caught that game, Keuchel would have been just as effective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe he was in concussion protocol, so why isn’t he playing? because Renteria is stupid, duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No catcher on the planet could have guided Giolito, Cease and López to quality outings with the garbage those guys were throwing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also happens that the one game you’re referring was started by a veteran, pitchability guy rather than young hurlers. I’m as frustrated as anyone by the start of the season for this pitching staff, but there are zero conclusions to be gained 3 1/2 games into the season.

Barnes had a 140+ wRC+ and over 3.5 WAR in a partial season that year. Grandal was slumping heavily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is that supposed to make Sox fans feel when we have title aspirations over the next 4 years? Spend big money for a guy that you can’t play in October?

I agree with you that it's too early to draw any conlusions but I am a bit concerned about Grandal's ability to call a game.

Didn’t he have the yips at the time? Look, if you want to say he’s overrated in terms of WAR because of his game calling or blocking or some other element of his defense, then so be it. But the dude is one of the best framers in the game and one of the best offensive catchers and most certainly not a DH or bad catcher like Jack is saying.
