Polar Bear Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 So the Sox want Colas to dial back his energy during games bc he is supposedly always at a 10. They want him more like a 7 or 8. If everyone else is at a 7 or 8 I don't want him to follow suit bc this is horrendous baseball. Maybe drop it to a 9 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a rookie that's what happens until he gets everyday ABs to learn and adjust. The others have no excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatis Could have also signed a solid SP instead of going cheap for one year and end up pissing away another $37M on a rushed mid-season extension after which he has sucked ass including the 2021 playoffs. But Tony liked him in the Cardinals organization, and Hahn wanted him even before Tony, so the bird brain trust going to bird brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Dunning would be nice to have, but there's nothing sustainable about what he's doing this year. Lynn was essential to winning the division in 2021. I criticize Hahn all the time, but that trade isn't one to hammer him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 As bad as the Sox are, I can't believe the Sox are within 2 games of Pittsburgh, which were in first place as late as June 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they traded Kopech then like he said, people would’ve been rioting in the streets. And ReyLo was already down value wise by that point too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue against the Crochet pick. It was worth the gamble if the Sox didn't rush him to the Majors and they actually gave him time to build up his arm. MLB draft is a crapshoot. The pick wasn't bad, what happened afterwards was brutal. Another guy that got injured and lost his stuff, just like Kopech.
