    I also have to go with Wright. I expected him to pitch, at best, like Wakefield at his best. Instead he's pitching like a Cy Young winner at his best. And it's gone far past Small Sample Size. He's just plain good right now.

    You didn't overlook a better thread for this, but I am going to change the title so people know what the thread is about.

    JBJ is just awesome. Am I the only one who loves this kind of stuff more from homegrown guys? It's great when any Sox player is playing like this, but when it's a guy the Sox didn't have to spend a shitload of money on, it always feels so much better.

    If the political crap had lasted beyond three posts I would have stepped in, as I always do. People have been calling each other trolls for weeks. If you recall there was a long discussion about it a couple weeks ago. The next time you post "We must like it. We put up with it" like you're some kind of iron-willed protester in Soviet Russia, I'm going to lose my f***ing mind. For the last goddamn time, TBSB may be annoying, and to be perfectly honest, he definitely seems like a troll. But he hasn't done anything banworthy yet, and I don't kick people off of this site just because I disagree with everything they say or because I don't like them. I can't even pretend to be polite about this anymore. Just shut up.

    We're always going to predict that our team will finish first. Please stop calling each other trolls.

    I can count on one hand the number of times an umpire has had to leave a game after a foul ball went off of his mask since I started watching baseball. I'm sure there were a couple other instances that I am missing, but it doesn't exactly happen every day. I'm sure they could easily design a Google-Glass type thing that is durable enough to not shatter into tiny pieces if struck by a ball, especially with a mask over it. I still don't think it's a good idea, but not for safety reasons. I think it would be tough because the umpire is crouching and every umpire is a different height, so they'd have to constantly make sure their eyes were pointed at exactly the spot where the superimposed strikezone needed to be. If they even wiggled a little, it might end up being off and they'd still get calls wrong.

    Two or three. I don't think foul balls off of the mask hard enough to break the glasses (especially if they are made with stuff like that in mind) happen often enough that having even just one backup would be an issue.

    I used to joke about it, but I'm seriously wondering if they could convince Wakefield to come back. If anyone can make a comeback at that age, it's a knuckleballer. Or Jamie Moyer.

    I have moved all of the posts from the beginning of this ridiculous argument to a brand-new thread, which I then locked because there is no reason to keep it going.

    Sort of the rodeo clown of the ASG? They could dress him up in comically oversized clothes (more so than the ones he already wears), pancake makeup, and then have all of the mascots charge at him.

    I'm glad Nava isn't on the team anymore, but I'll always love the guy for 2013. He was a very important and productive part of that WS-winning team. I have nothing but good feelings for him and wish him the best in the future. Some guys you're happy to see the back of, but not him. He only had one really good year with the Sox, but that's enough for me. He'll always have 2013 to look back on. Someday he'll be able to tell his grandkids about how he was an integral part of a World Series championship year, and he deserves that.

    Ewww, A-Rod?

    That tag-ducking play was a thing of beauty.

    "This bet is a sure thing! Gonzalez is the best righty there is!" "He's a lefty." "Not anymore."

    I might move there, my life here in Connecticut suffers from a serious lack of machete duels, and every time I try to start one the people at the grocery store get all prissy.

    And Betts is making a fight of it in the voting too.

    Holy s***, your grandmother was a badass.

    The SB percentages for the Sox this year are just nuts.

    I like attributing the quote "f*** you!" to random historical figures. It works because there's almost no way that every person in the last 200 years or so hadn't said it at one point or another, if only in private.

    You can make a Gamethread if the last game was a loss. If the Sox win, whoever started the previous GT starts the new one, and continues starting them until the Sox lose. Then someone else takes over. So you're fine starting this one, but if the Sox win, you need to start tomorrow's, and so on until a Sox loss. If you start this one and they win and then forget to start tomorrow's, everyone will be very upset at you for messing up GT mojo.

    That doesn't even make sense. Nothing he said makes that a valid response, even as a snarky response. What he said boils down to "The pitching isn't great, but it could be worse, and I hope they don't trade good prospects for a guy who isn't any better than what we have now." There are so many other posts that your response would have been perfect for. Don't waste snark, use it wisely.

    At his age, he'd need to play left field in his sleep while getting up every hour to piss.

    I think he meant that he was conceived during football season, not that he fathered a child. Either way, it was way more than any of us need or want to know about Thunder.

    How hard the other guy is throwing means nothing when the other guy is supposed to be throwing slower in the first place. A guy throwing 89 when he usually throws 95 is a lot more worrying than a guy throwing 89 when he usually throws 89. This is like saying that a team not hitting home runs isn't a problem because the other team is hitting 15 singles a game.
