  1. The team has sucked for most of the past 20 years. Their ownership has killed a strong fanbase.
  2. Benintendi LF Martinez DH Devers 3B Bogaerts SS Pillar RF Vázquez C Chavis 1B Bradley Jr. CF Peraza 2B
  3. For me, that’s too much ice cream or worse Velveeta Shells and Cheese (that’s the 2am jump out of bed colonic for me).
  4. I have zero idea what he sounds like.
  5. Cashner would be fine in a relief role.
  6. Wasn’t Bard with the Rockies?
  7. Buffal buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
  8. 5) WS hero retired.
  9. I didn't say they were at fault. They had a number they didn't want to go over. They traded him knowing that they were fine with letting him walk away. That's all there is to it.
  10. He got more from the Dodgers. His position was not unreasonable.
  11. '04's rotation only had one guy below a 3.90 ERA. The '12 rotation was historically bad and came back to win in '13 with largely the same group. '18's rotation included exactly zero home grown players (probably the best rotation of the 4 WS winning teams).
  12. Will they oink or squeal is the question!
  13. This team is walking into 2020 like Lana on 90DF. Oh s***, they're real!
  14. I'm gonna get Taco Bell before they get rid of the 7 layer burrito.
  15. I think this bullpen could be sneaky good this year. He's a good refresher on some of the names: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/7/24/21336567/boston-red-sox-2020-season-preview-bullpen-workman-barnes-taylor-hernandez-walden DHern and Taylor are both on the COVID IL, but are healthy. Roenicke stated that their stamina just isn't there yet and that it may take a few weeks to get there. If Workman and Barnes can both keep it together, they should be lights out in the 8th and 9th.
  16. https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2020-04-01/spectrum-deal-puts-sportsnet-la-on-att-platforms-dodgers-games-can-be-viewed I think they saw that it was finally time to open the checkbook. They have a huge tv deal and lots of young, cheap players. They can afford to eat a Betts contract as long as he's worth keeping around for half of it and wins them a ring or two. The tv situation in LA is an embarrassment though. MLB should have stepped in.
  17. I didn't want him traded, but I've said this all along. It was like Lester all over again. The Sox didn't want to pay him so they traded him. Fans wanted the player back, but the writing was already on the wall.
  18. But we were also told that the pandemic would play a part in him not getting 300M and that he was dumb for not taking the offer from the Sox............
  19. If he opted out, the Sox may have been able to get under the cap AND keep Betts on the roster this year. That's a win/win/win/win/win for me.
  20. In my perfect world, Bloom finds a starter on the cheap that can stick in the rotation for a few years. Sale comes back at 100%. ERod pitches like 2019 for a few years. Bloom figures out how to draft and develop pitchers so that our system looks like the Rays. Having the Rays system with a large checkbook puts you in the upper echelon of teams year in and year out for a long time.
  21. If I said anything else it would contradict with my position on the WC play in game not counting as the playoffs. I strive for consistency!
  22. If they reset this year and then compete going forward, it wasn't a cliff to begin with. It was more like a speed bump.
  23. The cliff didn't start last year. They had all the pieces to repeat. It just didn't work out. If the Sox have a miraculous record this year, it doesn't preclude a cliff from starting on 1/1/20.
  24. I like it.
  25. This year, it doesn't count until you win the first round.
