  1. Plus it's not necessarily the recommended move for one of your best hitters to do anything but swing away in that particular situation.
  2. He was the team's best player for the years 2024-2025.
  3. Another Weaver story, but this one comes from Jim Palmer. Palmer said Weaver's idea of a mound conference was yelling at him "Hey, are you f**king trying?"
  4. Yeah, just ask Spaceman. Lee swears he was blackballed out of the game for it, I suspect that's the truth.
  5. I noticed some of the humorists on SoSH had a running joke about his mustache and Tolle's mustache, with references to young Joseph Stalin.
  6. Earl Weaver said his job was to make up the lineup card and get out of the way. He also said his job was to not screw up all the wonderful work the front office had done the winter before. I don't think he fully believed these things, but they were good lines.
  7. The impact of the manager is the most intangible of intangibles. But I do think Tracy has to be doing some stuff right for the team to turn it around the way it has.
  8. Now we need a Tracy equivalent...but the Tr is a challenge. First thing I thought of was Tracy Triumph, but quickly realized it's pretty bad.
  9. Agreed, but we did have one or two people (JoeB for sure) pointing out that our Pythagorean record was better than the actual record and that Breslow's offseason moves were actually pluses, and that it was weird that this wasn't translating to wins.
  10. The fact that Tracy decided to make Yoshida a platoon DH and just leave him in that spot all season may be indicative of his smarts as a manager.
  11. Crazy game though. In 2004 the Sox played .500 ball for about a 3 month stretch, which infamously led to Shaughnessy calling them "frauds".
  12. BTW did anybody read Abreu's translation of what he was yelling after his home run that put the Sox ahead in that last game against the Rays: "Are you crazy?" Love it.
  13. I knew so little about him. Much much better player and bigger personality than I realized. Props to Breslow.
  14. Game saver. I think everyone was so excited about the streak continuing that it didn't get its proper due.
  15. We have some really amped guys in that dugout. Just a little concerned that Seigler might spontaneously combust.
  16. I remember that name. He was the manager of the 1965 Twins team that lost to the Dodgers in the World Series in 7.
  17. He's a platoon DH without much power. He does contribute sometimes, though.
  18. The K/BB is pretty darn bad. Combined 25/26 is 233 to 41. Almost 6 to 1.
  19. Don't know about thrilled, but I liked it.
  20. I know you're not 100% serious, but just for a moment picture a rust-caked Story striding to the plate in mid-August and tell me you're not shuddering at the human carnage you're about to behold.
  21. Santiago Espinal for Steve Pearce. World Series MVP. Done. 😉
  22. Story seems like he might be right on the verge of not being able to hit major league fastballs any more. The combination of age and injury and inactivity sure doesn't help.
  23. Clark and Byrnes together LOL. For some reason this made me think of what the all-time jacka** team would look like.
