    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.

    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.

    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.

    Instant ban.
  5. mvp 78
    They are the same thing.
  6. mvp 78
    They are increasing roster size in the next CBA?

    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.
  8. mvp 78
    He hasn't been an 800 OPS guy in several years. I think that's expecting too much TBH.
  9. mvp 78
    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!
  10. mvp 78
    No.

    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.
  12. mvp 78
    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.

    Adley will be here another 4 years after this? If they win a WS this year or next, you won't need extra time.
  14. mvp 78
    It has less to do with what they turn out to be and more to do with what their value is as trade chips. They could have been used in other/better/more productive trades.
  15. mvp 78
    You'd have him start above Contreras and Durbin???
  16. mvp 78
    Wow.
  17. mvp 78
    There is a long list of bench players that became superstars?
  18. mvp 78
    Nobody in their right mind believes Jarren Duran is going to repeat his 2024 season. I would have been right to trade for Duran PLUS for Paredes. 2026 has proven that. 🤷‍♂️

    I don't think pedal to the metal works in April, but you can't dig yourself the hole that the Sox dug themselves in. The reason the Sox are having to rest their stars now is because they are overworked from having to climb back in. They had to treat every July game like it was the playoffs rather than the regular season. They aren't as bad as they were in April and May, but they aren't as good as they were in July either. The question is what is this team going forward?
  20. mvp 78
    Sox had enough assets to deal Duran PLUS to get a Paredes deal done. They just overstated how much Duran was worth. That was a big swing and a miss IMO.
  21. mvp 78
    Drohan was a Rule 5 draft pick 2 seasons ago. I wasn't going to let his performance that year impact how I saw him going forward, especially when he had less than 10 innings pitched in the White Sox org and was coming off an injury. He showed enough in '25 that he was a legit depth piece (AAA: 11 GS, 47.2 IP, 2.27 ERA). Crawford was 12th percentile barrel % and 7th percentile GB % in '24. That's not going to cut it in Fenway long term. Will be happy if he never pitches for the Sox again.
  22. mvp 78
    The rotation regressing is one thing. Believing that Gasper, Sogard, et al will carry the Sox to the WS is foolish. They are bench pieces. If they are starting games, it's a problem.
  23. mvp 78
    I would have expected more from Drohan TBH. Crawford had a lingering injury that kept him out all of last year after a season where he lead the league in HR allowed. The silence surrounding Kutter's return and place on the roster was deafening. I don't think Bres believes in his stuff at all.
  24. mvp 78
    They could also use Drohan. Astros were looking to dump Paredes.
  25. mvp 78
    Oviedo hasn't been the picture of health in his career. Crawford hasn't seen the mound in two years at this point. He may never pitch again for the Sox. Why expect anything from him?
