Ironically my roster has fewer holes in it than Roldy's actual garage door

Phenomenal

Short one reliever. oops. Still not Sweeneyesque.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I remember one year (77?) when the Sox had a home run spree for the entire month of June. They were a powerhouse offensively. They needed more pitching than Tiant and Bill Lee. I thought they had the answer when they got Mike Torres, but he was a flop. I remember a screwball throwing closer (I can’t think of his name) that Don Zimmer used up by the all-star break. Yeah, they should have won one or two between 75 and 80.

Bill “Soup” Campbell is the reliever I couldn’t think of yesterday. Zim used him up so early in the season that he was totally useless when we needed him most. Not that anyone cares.

Remember when we were all mad at the Sox for not extending Bogaerts?

They picked Campbell with the comp pick they got for letting him walk. Chaim you filthy animal you!!!!!

Oh for Christ sakes!

A few games and the kid is better than Bogaerts now

It's a decent consolation prize I suppose

Zim rode all his horses until they couldn’t go anymore. Soup was a prime example. The team was exhausted by September.

Dumb

Just my opinion. Sorry,

 

[BMC]

No need to apologize. Opinions are like aholes, everybody has one.


All good lol

I don't know, but it seemed anytime he threw it that hard, it lost its movement...

 

[22Brad Park]

Oh for Christ sakes!

He will be around playing for years is a good bet when Zander is retired

 

[McGarnagle]

Campbell will be challenging for MVPs at $7.5 million while a 41 year old Xander Bogaerts is being paid $25 million to post a 75 OPS+

 

[McGarnagle]

Yeah this is just a novelty. A knuckler doesn't get the side to side movement going that fast. Plus half the effectiveness of the knuckler is in it throwing off the hitter's timing, at 87 MPH you're basically just throwing a tumbling flat changeup with a little break. At 65-70 MPH it catches way more drag and breaks sharply, and preys upon the impatience of a hitter who is used to facing 92-95 on a regular basis.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Come on! No one knows that.

I was told by the same poster that Bello is the next Pedro

 

[Mione134]

I hope the game isn't rained out.

 

[quietbruinfan]

In a vacuum, they definitely made the right choice with Xander. Right choice with wrong motive and bad effects though.

And Bogaerts continues to decline in San Diego.
