Anyway, I hope people put the non-tender Giolito thing in proper context because we were talking about bad money and how to cut payroll. It is an outside possibility because there is just so much bad money on the books. There aren't a lot of options. Expand I think very good players in the prime of their careers are guys the Sox should be building around, not trading away. If the Sox can get him for a discount because this season hasn't gone as expected for him, all the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I don’t know either, just astounded by those numbers.

maxjusttyped Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) 3rd time through the order, Sox SP's have a 5.88 ERA. Sox relievers have a 4.18 ERA. I'm not saying to blindly follow the numbers, but they will tell you you're almost always better off going to a "bad" reliever over a tired starter. Of course TLR is the last manager in baseball to realize this. Edited July 12, 2022 by maxjusttyped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan of Steel Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 12-7 or better for this stretch. As of now, we're 3-5. 9-2 or better the rest of the way or fire Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The bullpen is bad yes, but it seems like TLR doesn’t even get them up and going until at least 2 are on base in the final inning the starter is already gassed on. This requires the gas can bullpen to pitch under more pressure with less wiggle room. Is everything perfect if they come in for a clean inning, probably not but it sure could help that statistic out more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
