  1. Yeah, the NFL model doesn't work for players and only works for owners. No way should the players go for it. Would be the biggest blunder ever.
  2. I care about the Red Sox, not the Reds.
  3. I would just say that once Eyanson was traded away and Tolle was added to the BOS roster, the rest of the pitchers drafted in Breslow's era haven't really done anything exciting. Maybe Dylan Brown, but he's not at the level of those kind of guys.
  4. If Adley performs well or Sox win WS, I don’t care what the prospects do in BAL.
  5. The NFL model would be worse for the Sox. We should be advocating for no cap since the Sox are a rich team.
  6. Hey, I wasn’t the one who rushed Adley back from injury, that was a Sox decision.
  7. Sorry about missing this. It’s XCountry season for my oldest which means lots of travel and softball season for my youngest which means lots of nights coaching.
  8. The Polar Bear has been ice cold against Ranger so far.
  9. In my head, I'm swapping Valera with Delzine and Valera is now taking the Luis Perales role (oft injured phenom who will run out of time).
  10. It's interesting because I was higher on Early than most people when he was a prospect. When he got to the bigs and everyone thought he was a top of the rotation guy, I just didn't see it that way. To me, he is a 4th starter. The Sox haven't been able to develop impact bats. Mead was an impact bat the first half of this season. They have control over him for several years. I'm fine with the trade.
  11. He needs to today. Baz has a history of dominating the Sox (7 GS, 522 OPS). Aside from the O's, who he now pitches for, we are his favorite opponent. That doesn't mean the Sox should consider trading for him! Put him against the Yankees and Baz shrinks (8 GS, 943 OPS, 12 HR).
  12. Running out of time for big roster decisions like that IMO. At some point, you just have to set the roster.
  13. Lived in SF and LA for several years. I agree that the Italian food is less than desirable. There was a good pizza place near me in SF, but nothing edible in LA.
  14. My 11 year old loves sushi, but it's a pretty americanized form of it TBH. No good Chinese restaurants in SoFL. I didn't know how good I had it up north.
  15. Nice to see Adley come alive. Has good insight into the O's pitching being their former catcher so we'll have to see if he can get hot. I agree on the popup slide. Some O's fans think the slide was a problem, but that's only because the IFer got a boo-boo face about it because he yoinked the throw. It was good clean baseball. No intent to injure at all. Sogie's HR was huge. My MLB.tv glitched so I missed Roman's HR and came back to the O's rouding the bases in the 9th.
  16. They are increasing roster size in the next CBA?
  17. Remains to be seen what Mead can provide. Doesn't have a long track record. I'm not sure I'd rush him back this season.
  18. He hasn't been an 800 OPS guy in several years. I think that's expecting too much TBH.
  19. No, you said bench players that became superstars. Bautista prior to 2010 breakout: 06 117 G 07 142 G 08 128 G 09 113 G Not a bench player!
  20. He may have been, but I don't think Lou Gehrig is an apt comparison to the guys here. He was in his early 20's and trying to earn playing time behind an All Star. He wasn't a career journeyman nearing or in his 30's.
  21. Played 125+ games as a 22 year old. The majority of time prior to that was in the minors. No significant time spent on the bench (193 G in MiLB in '23 and '24 after signing with the Yanks during the '23 season). Not a bench player.
