Hell, I would be way more accepting of a 120 loss season had he tore this thing down to the studs and had a very thorough search for an entire new baseball operation. Instead, what is happening right now is what he said he was avoiding with the hiring of Getz. With another season like it to follow after the selling is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they all have decent to great bullpens, while we technically have pitchers in our bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We woulda had the GM version of Pedro. We were fucked either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I strongly believe this team will have a worse record than the 62 mets. 40-122 is likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox would need to play .500 baseball at 29-29 to win 56 games this year, or win 2 more games in a 58 game stretch than they did in 104 games so far this year. Why highlight 56-106? This is the current record for the most losses in a single season in Sox history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 40 wins is closer than 100 losses. On paper. Yet 40 wins feels like a massive feat for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
