It is literally the lurching back and forth between any and all plans that is the panic. One day Oscar Colas isn't ready, but the next day Duke Ellis and Ramos are. One day Rafael Ortega is important enough to release somebody for, two weeks later he is gone. Same with Brad Keller. If those kinds of guys are here as roster protection, cool, use them that way. If they aren't get rid of them. Getz can't handle this job. I mean, he's also good for some fun defensive plays here and there. When I saw him in person, he played with absolute reckless abandon that is a joy to watch. I'm sure it will infuriate us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that like all three of those guys were if statements when it comes to getting hurt when all 3 have an extensive history of getting hurt. If it weren't for Eloy, people would be on Robert about how many games he has missed since 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 After yet another blunder Sunday, Remillard got what he deserved. I hope he is released or elects free agency, so the Sox will not be tempted to use him anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I can't keep up with who is on the roster these days. I can just assume whatever it looks like, they still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert, Yoan and Eloy are on the team. They have guaranteed contracts. I'm assuming there was no trade interest for Yoan or Eloy, and nobody got close to what Robert's worth. They had to go into the season assuming they had a starting 3B, DH and CF. You're saying it like, "you don't get to claim that Robert, Eloy and Yoan being out of the lineup at the same time had any affect on their won-loss record". When it really does. They wouldn't be a run-away first place team with all three, but they wouldn't be vying for worst record ever, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 100 losses bad instead of 120 losses bad when no one could have ever imagined those guys would be hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part of your post just validates what I'm saying. A 20 game swing is their presence in the lineup affecting the won-loss record. Who ever implied that nobody ever imagined baseball players could get injured? These three, in particular. They specifically got 2 right fielders who could cover CF, and they have a half dozen utility infielders between the majors and AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
