  1. That seems like a dubious reason. With the balanced schedule these guys are all seeing different arms all the time.
  2. Yes, we all have our personal responses. Devers really turned me against him this spring and made me worry about the future of his contract. I honestly feel relieved about it. Obviously it's up to the team to reinvest the money, but I don't see much point worrying about that. They forked out for Crochet and Bregman, they signed 3 extensions with the kids, they paid Cora. They're clearly doing better in that department.
  3. Most sports fans are a bunch of hypocrites with 20/20 hindsight. If Mookie Betts had a career-ending injury in 2020, people would be talking about how we got away with one. I've tried to explain my position about the Sale trade a million times (I would have been OK with it if we did more than sign Giolito) but it often gets interpreted as me saying they should have known Sale would do great in 2024.
  4. Yes, my experience with Chicago was the same. I can't really fault these artists for going commercial. When it comes down to do it they have to make a living.
  5. None of those %s mean much. The Sox are 2.5 games out a Wild Card spot with 76 games left. That's far from out of it. If you want to say it's a 20% chance, that's reasonable. It's not winning the lottery odds, more like winning money at the casino odds.
  6. B-R has 30.2%.
  7. I'm glad he's gone too. There was a cloud hanging over him from the get-go this year. And it's definitely exciting to see Anthony and Mayer starting to pick up some hits.
  8. The 2025 Red Sox probably have a 20-30% chance of making the playoffs as of today, depending on which projection system you look at. That's not really winning the lottery stuff.
  9. I honestly don't get why it's such a terrible song. The words are icky but it's a catchy tune.
  10. Yes, but at the start of the season he was dealing with rust after his 2024 season was cut short, and he missed a lot of 2025 spring training.
  11. Your realism comes with a side order of Yankee fan bias.
  12. 23 Ks in his first 14 games with the Giants is really concerning - for Giants fans.
  13. That song probably wouldn't be hated so much if it wasn't by the former members of a legendary psychedelic band.
  14. I thought you were a WAR guy. That's what you used when you were talking about Ellsbury's contract.
  15. Averages are useful but only if you have sufficient sample sizes and adjustment for outliers - which are two problems with your Gates example. 😉
  16. Yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think history will show that this was a guy who shot his way out of town, and the Sox are going to benefit from having that $250 million obligation off the books.
  17. My gut feeling is the Giants are not going to be happy at all.
  18. I know. Still, it's better than him getting off to a rocking start. Giants are 4-9 since the trade, with 42 runs scored, 3.23 per game.
  19. He has really stepped up his game.
  20. .670 OPS and 21 Ks in 13 games.
  21. Well, if they let Bregman go they just get worse. Plus a lot can change in a year in this game. Anyway, my call is they don't trade Bregman even if they're selling. We'll see what happens.
  22. Sorry, you're not going to convince me they didn't go cheap in 2024, especially after the 'full throttle' pronouncement. Why do you think 'full throttle' came to piss so many people off?
  23. Deja vu all over again. It's depressing if you dwell on it too much. Especially with a month to go before the deadline.
