    I think baseball turning into the max velo and max ev factory is why there are so many injuries. Max effort on every pitch and every swing is dumb and bad for a long career.

    So now you're speaking for the fanbase? Your last sentence shows that you just don't understand my point.
  3. mvp 78
    Yeah, there isn't a big difference between one day in MLB and 4 months in MLB in terms of leverage. Even a year and a half shouldn't up the price tag too much IMO. Even if it goes up 2M AAV, that's not the end of the world for a team like the Sox. At least make sure the guy is able to stick in MLB before he's getting his deal.

    They thought they would get into the the playoffs this year. They had a bad plan. They are now behind the 8 ball and are 5 games under .500 in May. Adding one bat now and having them try to sneak into the last playoff spot in an expanded playoff race is going to do what exactly? This fanbase doesn't feel better about the franchise because they made the playoffs last year. Arguably, they feel worse because they lost to the Yankees! It doesn't feel like the playoffs meant much to the team either as it didn't carry over into the new year.

    As I said yesterday, you are a go for it every year guy. That business model doesn't make sense. Anthony/Mayer/Tolle/Early haven't even played a full season in the bigs and you think they are WS contenders? Laughable if that's the young core.

    He's only been in GRE for 45 games. He's only had success for 35. Promotions used to take a lot longer than the are. Right now, it's more about finding playing time for all of these guys. Also, many players are tormenting the terrible pitchers in the SALY league this year. The HR totals are ridiculous and you just can't promote everyone. HR/OPS: Yophery 10/881 Yoeillin 8/911 White 8/894 Godbout 6/865 Gonzales 6/926 Winnay 6/863 The team as a whole is OPSing 800!

    You think Anthony will be out until mid-July? If so, this season is cooked.
  11. mvp 78
    No, the expectations for '26 shouldn't have been WS. It should be building towards a WS.

    Slaten before IL: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 5 K, 0.00 ERA, 1.90 FIP Slaten after IL: 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 6 K, 0.00 ERA, 0.53 FIP 🐖

    One bat isn't winning them a WS. One bat isn't winning them the division.
  14. mvp 78
    The only way they are going to win a WS is through the prospects turning into legit players. That's how they won in 07, 13 and 18.

    That was coming off back to back AL East titles. This team isn't there yet. We're still stuck at 2014/15 it seems. The 2018 Sox were: 21-7 at the end of April 39-18 at the end of May 56-28 at the end of June 75-34 at the end of July You can't compare this year to 2018. This is a AAA team compared to 2018.
  17. mvp 78
    This team is very flawed AND 5 games below .500. Why go all in on this year? You ask for them to be buyers every season. They just can't be. It makes no damn sense.

    Have the Sox done anything more than add bullpen pieces at the deadline the past 4 deadlines? I don't remember. If you're ONLY concerned with this year, you're not going to be running the organization in the best way possible.
  21. mvp 78
    Being a buyer every season leads you to another 2020 where you have no depth and aging players on long term contracts. Not sure Henry has the appetite for it anyway. Constantly sending off prospects for bullpen pieces in July is a terrible way to run a franchise.

    The 2022 Red Sox were 4 games under .500 at the end of May and held a WC spot in the middle of July, but spiraled over the next two weeks. I wanted a complete fire sale at the start of the season. The team kinda sold, but not really and ultimately ended up 78-84. The 2023 Red Sox were 1 game above .500 at the end of May and had the final WC spot at the end of July. The team bought crap and ended up 78-84 because they ended their season going 9-23. Neither team felt worthy of adding to. This team has some fun moments, but really feels more aligned with those teams TBH.
  23. mvp 78
    If I'm buying, I'm buying for the future, not a guy with a one or two year contract.
  24. mvp 78
    I've heard the "2 games out of WC" argument for several years ever since the playoffs expanded. This year, the Sox are 5 games under .500 and are the 10th best AL team. This isn't a team you are adding to. It should be EMBARRASSING that they are behind the Twins and the ChiSox considering where those two franchises are at. One bat isn't going to fix this team. They need several bats to turn their season around.

    Brez needs to hit big on the Comp B pick.
