Highland Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 We can only hope that the team isn't half as bad as it shown during the past few days. But it's hard to feel good about this pitching staff. It certainly doesn't look like a staff of a division winner or even a .500 team. It's pretty bad when you have to look to Clevinger to turn things around.

EloyJenkins Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Legit question. Is it just katz asking players to tone it down or did the entire staff lose 2-3 mph on their fastballs all at the same time? Cease is the only pitcher who hasnt lost significantly Edited April 7, 2023 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Imagine hitting 4 homers, scoring 9 total runs, and losing. This is like pre-WS 2000s teams that'd score 12 runs and lose 14-12. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Very disappointing start to the season. Some positive signs, but the pitching is going to need to turn things around in a hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Not that homegrown hitting is much better, but this org used to be able to develop pitching. Is Sale the last guy? Cuz I’m drawing a blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I’m a dick for saying this but JR needs to sell or die soon. Then get the team sold post haste, fire everyone from Hahn to the A ball bat boy. Actually, I’d keep Grifol and the new staff just to see what they’ve got. Hire a new GM, scouts, the works. Trade everyone but Robert, Cease and Moncada. Take Cease and and Boris into a room, tell them we’ll give you 5 years here’s a blank contract…fill in the number, any number and it’s yours. I know this is a pipe dream, but it’s hard not to hate being a Sox fan with this regime in charge. Fuuuuuuuuck! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
