Like I need to leap out of my chair that the often injured gas can is coming back. If he can be another arm as a long man (2-3 innings) that would be extremely useful since we have 3 starters leaving games early right now and since Renteria refuses to use Detweiler in that role.

Yes, they should be tandem starters like Gonzalez and Lopez were supposed to be. Let the first one go 2 or 3, and the second one go 2 or3 and flip the line up, leave 3 or 4 for the bullpen. Not a bad way to use the 5th starter spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) So if there was never a trade agreed upon we are left with the fact that our coach is just incompetent? I was at least holding out hope that there was a reason Cisheck was used in a high leverage situation yesterday. Nope, just bad coaching...awesome sadly that’s my biggest takeaway from all this Edited August 31, 2020 by TheFutureIsNear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez with hopefully Kopech replacing him after a couple months Honestly Gio Gonzalez until Kopech is read to go, then move both to the pen... Might be in the minority here, but I think Lopez could make a solid 6th inning/take over for a starter for 2-3 innings type.

turnin' two Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The fact that Lynn is still in Texas means that Daniels messed up. Glad the Sox didn't meet demands that were out of line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably be non tendered. What a waste, dude's arm is just made of balsa wood and not the best attitude either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave him the assignment they expected him to handle when they signed him yesterday. One really bad pitch, and he blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm shocked Lynn didn't go somewhere. What a waste for Texas. Sounds like Daniels wants to win every big deal outright. Not shocked the Sox didn't make any deals. Asking prices were probably too high - the Padres deal for Clevinger is solid volume we just don't have. I bet Texas was heavy on someone untouchable - Vaughn + Kopech or something similar. Maybe even Robert like that beatwriter tossed out - which if true Daniels is insane.

maloney.adam Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I’m glad they stayed put. It sounds like the cost for Lynn and most of the other players were too high. Look we’re in 1st place. We’re in a good spot. You give the young players a chance to get some experience in the playoffs and if they end up short than you can add some pieces in the offseason to improve the team.

GermanSoxFan Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I didn’t want Hahn to go crazy like Preller did, but I would have loved getting Goodwin in case Mazara is indeed completely broken and a low tier starter that can bump Lopez out of the rotation.

I agree, there is no reason to threaten him. Unfortunately, that is where we are at today. That said, he did himself no favors by continuing to insist he was right, and taking a challenge. His reputation is ruined. That should be enough though for others, but when you are on the internet, you can be a real tough guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
