They won’t. The question is whether 90 wins is enough.

Baseball can screw with your head. Coming off the mound, CJ looked like he knew his mind is fucking him up.

Probably not, but it's a product of bad management.

Not when every fly ball goes 420 feet at Miller Park. 13 of 14 runs off the HR for them?

If you don't get sent down, you don't use your option. I don't recall him being sent down during 3 three of his 40 man roster years, maybe 1.

Head cases. That delivery by Edwards is a joke.

Darvish was down 3 mph from ST.

Yea, wtf. All I heard all ST is how he is throwing 95 consistently. He never touched that once tonight.

Edwards is not physically strong enough to handle the 8th inning for a playoff team, and it's affected the mental side of his game. He needs to be a closer on a bad team.

Theo didn't trade Edwards after the 2017 season. Joe chased away Hector Rondon instead.

He is out of options. Last year was the last year they could send them down. You have 3 years once your on 40 man you can be sent back and forth as many times as they want.

This is where Theo is at the Blackjack table after getting his ass handed to him and asks Tom for a 20 spot so he can go win his money back. Fix the fucking pen at any cost.

In the post game, someone asked Maddon about Edwards’ new delivery and he brought up Luis Tiant. :lol:

There is a page that has all this info. Bryant has 3 left though they would never use them, Wily has 2 and Edwards has 1. Schwarber has 2 I think.

I'm not saying this is a confidence thing, just saying that the report on him was that was the issue last time. I mean, seriously, its the first game. Give him a few before we crucify him.


He hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. Fuck him.

Shouldn't even be in the game, he's our 4th starter( Darvish is our 5th) Chatwood should gave finished that game or came close to it.

Edwards was looking at his hand as he walked off...like he had a blister or something.

I've had about enough of him and Darvish. They can't throw strikes that don't get hit hard.

That toe tap delivery is ridiculous. There's no consistency to any of it. There's no rhythm. It'd be like changing your golf swing on every shot...he better figure this shit out quick.

I'd put them both on the DL and send them down to work on it in the minors.

I tuned in off and on throughout the game. Darvish could not hit the strike zone and was not looking good at all.

Then tuned back in for a bit right before they brought in Edwards. Ugh, that was brutal. He's just not getting better at all.

I really hope these two guys dial in with some kind of success soon.

That was a FU to Theo for wanting every game to be game 7 of the WS. This is going to be a long year with our GM and Manager trying to one-up each other.

To answer your earlier question. I rather keep Maddon then Theo. Boston seems to be doing just fine without Theo. He is good at building teams from scratch, but doesn't seem to know how to scout FA's on a winning team.
