brijames1957 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 What a disaster of an outing from Giolito. He has basically become a number 5 starter. With this line up the Sox pitching has to be near perfect to have any chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench him a week and send a message Expand This is a great call. Rick, if you're listening, you should absolutely cut a 27 year old that is owed 42 million over the next two seasons, this will greatly improve the Sox chances of winning a World Series. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 How many playoff appearances would the Sox have had if Francona got the job when Bevington took over in 95 for Lamont or more recently when he took CLE job after Boston? Would LaRussa and 15 rookies really be leading Francona's Sox? Impossible to imagine. Of course, the Guardians would never be dumb enough to hire Tony in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
