Not really. I just wanted to create as dumb a post as possible and see how it felt.

[JoeBrady]

Someone should tell Seigler that he needs to run to 1st, even if it is a pop out.

[FredLynn]

That didn’t take long

It's really tough to find employment.

Abreu connecting on a bomb. following Cedanne's hit. 

New game, but Tracy needs a short leash on Rivera if he struggles again in 2nd

[vegasbob]

Wilson loses a ball. HR Derby still rolling

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Contrares!

[FredLynn]

Gotta love Contreras

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm all in for Durbin.

[FredLynn]

This home plate ump is awful

I have my fair share of dumb comments if you want some career guidance.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good shut down inning.

I believe shelf life helps define whether a comment is dumb or brilliant.

Would love to hear Caleb say exactly what he thinks was affecting him in April-May . 

And how he fairly quickly turned it around. Looking for an indictment of the so called Red Sox hitting group.

The team definitely has been better since Driveline disappeared

Definitely.

Stop playing Duran. Call up Eaton. Play the new guy. Anything else.

I didn’t want to disappoint my fans here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox didn't lose an Anthony; they gained an Anthony.

I remember someone saying that Lester was a #5 SP before he went to the Cubs.  Does that qualify as long shelf life?

Duran needs a change of scenery

Yeah

Guess you got that wrong too

[FredLynn]

Well it seems the Flops are now just at 40% chance to make the playoffs. It will be a difficult decision at the TD.

According to your bible Fangraphs, it was 13% about 2 weeks ago. Funny how things can change.

[FredLynn]

No Bello ?

Maybe they want to bring him in at the start of an inning.

I double checked: it’s 40%
