We've had some real dummies post on here in the past. As the Official TalkSox Historian, I can confidently say it's not even top 10.
-
Straws are bad. Don't use them. Just drink out of a cup.
-
We've had dumber.
-
Probably not. My guess is that the Phillies will have a good idea by Opening Day if he'd even be ready for a mid-April bullpen spot. The extra 15 days would just delay the inevitable.
-
I think it just shows that you can't just go by one expert. You need to take all of the available resources into account. Even ignoring Law's take on the Sox having a bad starting pitching pipeline would do a disservice to talking about the state of the farm system. Law is the outlier on the overall ranking, but his comments were justified.
-
I think we've all anticipated that he'd be the next guy DFA'd, but that hasn't been the case. We've seen Seabold, German, Barnes and others DFA'd before him.
-
That's affirmative. It's just funny because the note from SoxProspects is "questions around hit tool and defense." LOL. The guy can take a walk, but he really struggled after coming to POR, didn't hit in the AFL and hasn't looked great in ST. I'm not really high on either him or Valdez TBH. Both have struggled since leaving the HOU system and have weird profiles.
-
Most people see him as the last guy on the 40 man roster, so you're not alone on that. I think we all need to remember to ignore ST stats though.
-
They are just getting pitchers to throw and work on their pitches. The games don't count. It doesn't matter.
-
Unless he needs to sign someone today, there's no real reason to rush a move. Whether he puts Harper on the IL today or 3/29, IDK if it makes a difference. Like I said yesterday, a lot of the offseason roster rules are convoluted. Does Song also have a 15 day Military List period he can use where he doesn't have to be on the active roster?
-
You try to make things work and gain something It's all no use, it's all worth nothing Complete satisfaction, too impossible to believe Nothing's ever f***ing gonna work for me Tomorrow seems so hopeless Can't keep it off my mind Another day of nothing I'm running out of time I've got nothing I can look forward to I'm always left with nothing I'm always told things I don't want to hear My destiny's become quite clear Life's never f***ing given nothing to me It's just stood by and watched me bleed Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
-
If he wasn't at flight school, would the Sox have brought him to WOO? I think they brought some other young guys there. My guess is that he's of a high enough stature in the org that they work directly with him rather that let him sit at home for the year.
-
I would say even those places to encompass a wide enough segment of "Red Sox Nation" to be fair. You'd need to include young, old, women, men, all sort to really get "the pulse." Even the crowds at Fenway tend to have a skewed contingent of people "just happy to be there" since they paid $500 to show up. Even professional services like Rasmussen can't get polling accurate sometimes. My guess is that the average Sox fan will have forgotten about Song by Opening Day, is lukewarm about Bloom and just wants the Sox to be a competitive team. They probably don't expect a WS every 5 years.

Some Sox personnel believe Abreu can play CF.
-
His first inning was fine. He’s not a multi-inning pitcher. Neither was Paplebon.
-
Journalist: one who is unable to complete a 5th grade math word problem.

No.
-
@tylermilliken_ Chris Sale will make his spring training debut on Monday against the Tigers. He made it through another bullpen session without any issues today.
-
It's terrible. I thought I knew the Rule 5 rules, but I now realize I did not know them as well as I thought. There are a lot of things about baseball that are needlessly complex (various park's quirky ground rules, balks), but some of these offseason roster rules are just tiring.
-
It's probably a bad idea for PHILLY to do it, but it COULD be a good idea for another team to try it.
-
He won't get buried on the IL. I think the Sox will monitor the situation closely and any perceived underhandedness will be brought straight to Manfred's office for restitution.
-
Technically, his last competitive pitching was at the Premier 12 tournament for Team USA in November 2019. https://www.wbsc.org/en/news/could-wbsc-premier12-fireballer-noah-song-return-to-baseball
-
If they could have just waited for the minor league portion, why wouldn't they have done so? Seems like a major blunder on DD's behalf then? Unless Song had somehow been listed on the AAA 38-man roster? IDK.
-
Noda will be 27 before the season starts. If Noda is an OBP machine, what does that make the younger Wilyer Abreu? Noah Song at one point in time was a special talent. He was the best college pitcher in his class. He was the best Sox pitcher in the system. He could reach 100 and had a great slider. You could easily see him as a middle of the rotation pitcher. Noda was a 15th round pick who is projected to have a 667 OPS. I think the A's would be prudent to nab Song instead now that he's out of the Navy.

Yes, that is who Bell was quoting and presumably directing his post to in that post! Are you answering for notin?
