SoxBlanco Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Getting this started early. I’m going to end the losing streak with this game thread. I’ll be at the game. First game I’ve been to since game 4 against Houston in 2021. I believe Thorpe is starting. Easy win. You’re welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) We might win this one. Hey Blanco count the fans for us in the third inning. It shouldn't take long. I wanna hear if there are less than 1,500 or so. Thanx. I predict we win the day game. Royals can't possibly be interested in beating us one more. I'd let DeJong play if the trade is finalized if I were them. They may need some extra incentive and he might lift and pull 2-3 homers. Otherwise I think the Sox beat the Witts, 7-3.

ChiSox59 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Hopefully the roster churn continues. Brebbia, Flexen, and Lopez should be on waivers todays. Kuhl and Senzel serve no purpose. Get Colas up and play him FFS. We've lost 16 fucking games in a row, its not running guys like Berroa, Eder, Nastrini, Dominguez, Burke, Coffey etc., etc. is going to lose us more games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuhl serves a purpose: backstop to absorb punishment in blowouts. Berroa, Eder, Burke, and Nastrini simply cannot throw strikes. The risk you run bringing them up is that you sour on them after a small mlb exposure. See Cronin, Declan. Better to fix them before you bring them up. I certainly think that Coffey, AHT, Cousin, Mason Adams, and maybe even Dalquist could get a look and survive the experience. Position player wise, sure bring up Colas, Ramos, maybe Montgomery. I would keep Quero down just for 40 man reasons, but not a lot of reasons for optimism there based on AAA performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Basically over the last year, they’ve traded the following without getting someone that you can confidently say will be at least an average major leaguer: Cease, Giolito, Lopez, Lynn, Kelly, Bummer, Burger, Santos, Mena, Cease, Fedde, Kopech, Pham, Eloy Edited July 31 by fathom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
