    Florida: Great weather, caribbean inmigrants and crazy people Great retirement destination

    Carigi Breslowi

    I'd take a flyer on Manaea, but as a tertiary option.
  4. Dipre
    That's why they got Breslow and Bailey, but that's more focused on future rosters than the current one.

    18% goods and services tax called ITBIS, a scaled income tax (which rich people game very easily with tax breaks and underreporting). I'm lucky that a lot of my income as a lawyer is practically undetectable, as a lot of people don't want to report taxes on legal services. That's on a personal level, services provided through the office however, pay both ITBIS and contribute to the calculation of the tax bracket for the income tax reported by the company AND both partners.

    They are bad at drafting pitching. I thought we already established that?
  7. Dipre
    Oh God no. Even with the crappy finishes, nothing trumps the constant "70 years, 71 years", up to "86 years" BS I had to suffer from Yankees fans. F that

    Sure thing: 99 BB (led league), 5.9 BB/9, 5.8 H/9 (led league), .256 BABIP (league average around .301), 86.9% LOB rate (around 72% in 2023). This isn't an issue of twisting numbers to make Snell look bad. He was, for all intents and purposes, one of the luckiest starting pitchers in the majors. He struck out a lot of guys, sure, but he walked a ton of guys, and the contact he gave up turned into outs at a rate that's almost miraculous, and most of the above average amount of guys that did reach base did not score. Dude had the perfect storm of luck, and that's unlikely to repeat. All of this without even touching the health risks. For context, two different projections systems peg him for a 3.65 ERA/ 3.73 FIP. Note that this year his FIP (3.44) was more than a full run higher than his ERA (2.25).

    Let's public pressure them into signing some pitchers.
  10. Dipre
    Because his season was very much smoke and mirrors, regardless of results, as I have eloquently presented before.
  11. Dipre
    Snell is a very very risky proposition.
  12. Dipre
    I don't think they will until this situation absolutely blows up in their face. It's the dominican way actually, don't fix it until it becomes a problem you can no longer ignore.
  13. Dipre
    I'm just f***ing with you.
  14. Dipre
    Your mind reading abilities are pretty amazing.

    I consume as much Red Sox media as humanly possible, and I never ever saw this quote.

    I don't give a rat's ass whether Henry is likeable or not. All that matters is him getting the right people and spending money. I will say, once again though, while some of the vitriol is very well deserved, that a) the offseason is still young, and for being a group of fans that suffered through decades of not winning anything, our entitlement is showing. Let's at least see what the offseason actually ends up producing k?

    David Price. Terrible deal. Pitchers are s***** investments on long term deals in general, but they've failed to get impact starting pitching in any capacity, so now they would have to pay the going rate in either money or prospect capital, and it seems like they don't want to pay either.

    Saw some videos of baseball content creators on yt and tiktok absolutely s***ing on the Sox FO for being cheap and not working to improve the product. These are guys with hundreds of thousands (to millions) of followers. Not a good look.
  19. Dipre
    Sorry, I thought it was Jon, not Sonny. But Sonny is older than Montgomery by a couple years right?
  20. Dipre
    Love this thread.
  21. Dipre
    All significantly inferior options to Montgomery, based on availability, consistency and results.
  22. Dipre
    Did Yoshida shoot your dog?
  23. Dipre
    Goddamn, tell us how you really feel.
  24. Dipre
    I'll take Bauer for $700 Trebek.
  25. Dipre
    I said with ample time on here that if the Sox felt they didn't have a real chance to sign Yama-san they should pivot to Montgomery-Imanaga before their market blew up. 200 mill for Montgomery is outrageous, but may be what he ends up getting.
