  1. Wasn't Juan Soto 18 when he entered the league?
  2. You do know they're not robots? Even guys like Jeter and Chipper Jones would show emotion from time to time?
  3. Why should they be allowed to slump? Fire Bloom!
  4. Do you know Devers (or any ballplayer?) personally? Why do you think he has "growing up to do". I mean, Wander Franco, for example, has growing up to do, as in, he needs to stop banging underage girls. Tim Anderson has some growing up to do because he needs to stop being so bush league and running his mouth, only to get knocked the f*** out by a tiny dominican. Justin Verlander has some growing up to do, because he's a diva and rubbed everyone in the Mets clubhouse the wrong way. Which of these "needs to grow up scenarios" has Devers demonstrated a proficiency in? Dude plays hard, doesn't showboat, and keeps his mouth shut. He showed some frustration, and so what? He's a human being. Just stop pretending like y'all know the guy and he's an immature crybaby. Sheesh.
  5. Okay, this was goddamned funny. A+.
  6. They gave Devers all that money because they expect him to improve his pitch selection and swing decisions with a bit more maturity, because the guy has one of the best batted ball profiles in the Majors. He mashes.
  7. Move the goalposts why don't cha?
  8. Yeah, because like flat-earth bs, it's dumb and uninformed. But you do you.
  9. This is flat out nonsense. Numbers are objective. You're trying to justify your consistently incorrect take on things with another incorrect conclusion. Just amazing.
  10. Every player in the history of MLB has been streaky, to an extent. It's just the nature of the game. Also of note. Devers had a bad May, as did the rest of the team, but other than that his worst OPS in a month was June with an .815 mark.
  11. Do you know him personally, in order to make this claim?
  12. I don't get the Devers bashing.
  13. I mean have the homers and doubles been half homers and half doubles? He as an .872 OPS in high leverage situations, which isn't insanity like JT's 1.039 in high leverage situations, but he's no slouch.
  14. Why do you insist on making sense?
  15. I keep saying that, but people don't seem to get it.
  16. All I want to say is that I find comfort in the Yanks' failures even if the Sox don't make the playoffs. f*** 'em.
  17. Not what you meant. And some of you think drafting and developing pitching is easy, and it's not, that's why pitching is such a scarce commodity.
  18. Yamamoto is an exception, one that I've supported multiple times.
  19. The guy I liked just wasn't coming here. That being Verlander.
  20. With a farm system brimming with impact prospects, you trade your third-best offensive player, who is cost-controlled and doesn't have a ready-made replacements mind you? No, it's not valid.
  21. Got tired of saying that they shouldn't expect them to be good off the bat.
  22. And who he is is a guy with excellent batted ball profiles who needs to improve just a bit on pitch selection and swing decisions to become an absolute monster. The power is there.
  23. Bro, are you serious with this post?
