Stop taking this place so seriously you sad f***s. If A700 is that horrible, just put him on ignore.
Or just keep whining like my 3 and 6 year olds. Fine with me. Just be more entertaining about it because this feud is a DUD!
But if they signed Beltre they wouldn’t have JBJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sox vetted Crawford with their crack spy staff!
Pablo would sell sweet hat merch!
Hanley was a great teammate and they should DFA him just to let him rest a bit before we re-sign him.
Knuckleballers just make us crazy. We’re still grumping over a game from a few days ago THAT THE SOX WON!
I’m glad Wright is on the DL so we can all move on.
Wright's 2016:
April - June 24th: 2.01 ERA, 3.33 FIP, 64 GS, 246 BABIP
June 24th - September: 5.55 ERA, 4.50 FIP, 45 GS, 328 BABIP
He has stretches of being good and stretches of being s*****. Not sure you can expect anything else from him.
No, other pitchers don't tend to implode the way Steven Wright does. It's just the nature of the knuckleball. Other guys can at least push through with other pitches. If the knuckball is flat, Wright is a low A pitcher.
I'm not sure I'd necessarily expect a guy on a $100M contract to be involved with fentanyl nonsense. I'd go with the guy who has gotten into the most trouble with the law and isn't paid that much: Steven Wright. Maybe Pedroia because he's from NoCal and his family doesn't have a squeaky clean reputation? Maybe Hembree or Swihart? IDK.
Honestly, I wouldn't expect anyone on the Sox to be involved with this stuff.
2013 - 3rd place
2014 - 4th place
2015 - 5th place (.395 winning %)
2016 - 5th place (.420 winning %)
2017 - 5th place (.420 winning %)
2018 - 5th place (.410 winning %)
They are a below .500 team since 2000.
Hanley just flat out sucked the last 30 days of dressing up for the Sox.
4/25 - 5/24
573 OPS for a guy who is slow and a barely adequate 1b. There are far better options out there. Hell, Adam Lind may be better than Hanley right now and he's sitting down in AAA. Now that is thinking outside the box.
The problem is that the hand you are referring to has no basis in reality. Over the past few years, Hanley has shown himself to be in steep decline. He's not a guy you can pencil in as a contributor over the long haul.
