  1. Well, I'll sit here and wait for them to re-sign, but it hasn't happened yet.
  2. Well, I look forward to Yankee Conspiracy Tik Toks.
  3. Doubtful. With how much data we get on each pitch, it'd be hard for the MLB to come up with a scheme that would be sneaky enough to even look like that.
  4. They could just allow pitchers to throw a quick pitch for any batter that does that. Ump doesn't have to allow a time call.
  5. When fan favorites are no longer kept around, you'll see more an more grumbling. If the Sox are a mediocre 85 win team next year, you'll hear LOTS of complaints.
  6. "I actually like it every once in a while that my food is undercooked. It really keeps me guessing when I'm out to eat!"
  7. If the Sox really believe in his skill level, they'd be smart to protect him just in case. However, I agree that another team carrying him on their roster would be a substantial burden. Could it make sense for a team already at the bottom of the standings? Ward is probably the third best player on that list.
  8. Doesn't matter. If the Sox are perceived as penny pinching (Lester, Betts, Bogaerts?), fans at some point will no longer be ok with forking out a thousand bucks to take their family to a game. Seems like this year should have been the perfect storm to go over since they got to the ALCS. A few spendy moves could have pushed them into the WS.
  9. It's an upgrade if you think Dalbec won't repeat that performance. If I was GM, I'd just hold onto Dalbec and try to find him another position once Casas is ready.
  10. I get it, but I think selling prospects at their peak in value is a good way to manage your investments. Mountcastle could move to LF when Casas is ready.
  11. I think it's not even the speed. The problem is that umpires struggle to call outside pitches because of where they set up behind the catcher. If they went back to more substantial protection they could have a better angle on all pitches.
  12. It doesn't change the game. The effect is much less noticeable than extreme shifts, starters not going longer than 4 innings, the numerous ads that a fan is subject to while at a game or watching from home.
  13. At some point, if the Sox owners continue to limit themselves due to a luxury tax, fans will turn on them for the ever increasing cost of going to a game or even just wanting to watch the product from home.
  14. Is the stove room temperature or an ice box?
  15. 27.5% isn't great, but it's better than Dalbec. Which one is more likely to become Chris Davis? Yes, when we collect some of the greatest hitters of the modern era (Manny, Papi), the team is more likely to be better. Agree 100%.
  16. Please.
  17. How does it change the game aside from creating a rules based strike zone?
  18. At least Joyce knew when to retire.
  19. Why not? The younger umpires seem to have more accuracy than the old dogs they keep dragging out.
  20. What did Sam Kennedy say about payroll?
  21. Stoves aren't robots.
  22. If Sox thought there was validity to his 2nd half stats, he would have gotten more run in the playoffs.
  23. KEEP: Protect from the draft MAYBE: Could go either way NO: No reason to protect them this offseason
  24. Yeah, he could stick around a little longer than Antoni Flores, another recent "toolsy" guy that isn't really putting it together.
