So you lied when you said it was because “baseball was watered down.” Ask those 20 if you said that was the reason. Better yet, take a poll! Lol

I expected nothing this winter and have gotten just that. I’ve made countless suggestions on what I felt we should do, but again it’s not a prediction. In short, spend up to the tax line or even second tax line. Sign Monty, ERod or Gray (I realise all are gambles and slight overpays) Sign a second SP or trade for one. Pitchers like Stroman, Imanaga or Luzardo. (Again, not predicting all will succeed) Trade for a 2Bman like Polanco, Kim or Drury. Add a bid RH bat (2B or RF) IMO, adding 3-4 quality players is better than 5-7 decent players or stabs in the dark.

I meant 2 of the last 4 years. 4th or 5th in 3 of 4. I’ll take the Sox from 2019-2022 over the Rangers.
-
Texas finished 4th in ‘22 5th in ‘20 and ‘21, so 3 of the last 4 years.
-
On your “Big corner,” I’m sure. Not sure what theory to match your narrative means but I know better than to ask for clarification.

A few teams have passed us in spending, and we spent the money on mostly the wrong guys. It is hard to watch poor pitching and defense, but there were somethings that were entertaining to me. The pen looked good. Watching Casas mature before our eyes was fun. I still like watching Devers hit, but there seems to be more bad than good. I do think our extended future looks better, but going 5 years with only one decent playoff run is not much fun. We’ve sucked in the past. To me, more than this, but it’s the lies and the sham that upsets me the most. Being honest would have helped. If they truly believes what they were saying, it’s even worse, though. It exposes their incompetence
-
Lying comes so easy for you.
-
But we must wait until March to pout. You don’t even recognise your hypocrisy.
-
I never claimed I was right. In fact, I admit I am wrong when I am, unlike you. I was way wrong on 2023. Again, it’s easy to never be wrong when you never take a specific position. I’m not sure what this has to do with the point I made but deflection is your expertise.
-
You’ve changed your excuse. Nice!
-
You never pouted from October to March over the past 4 years? Lmao!
-
More lies. I found it telling that you chose the exact time the Sox looked at their best to stop watching. Spin that as you wish but we can see it is what it is.

To me, this looks like the only real hope for 2024: trade a top 3 prospect and maybe some others for a young pitcher with 3 or more years of control. I’ve suggested several I feel are worth the dice roll, but as was pointed out by the master pouter, none ever come true, so it’s useless being specific about some possible good moves. Keep it simple: trade suspects for great young pitchers and call it a day. -
Giolito has not been good, except for 4 months out of his last 12 and was good for 3 of his previous 6 months. He may bd better than Kluber looked after 2022, but this is the same old same old crap.
-
So you pout for 4 years then slam others for pouting now. It’s easy to never be wrong when you never are specific
-
I never bailed on watching and rooting for the Sox, like you did when we were on pace for 87 wins.
-
You think the sham ended?
-
Agreed, and you shouted and pouted through it all.
-
It sure looks that way.
-
Why is 2/3 of a good season out of his last 6/3 all that special or better than Kluber’s 2022 numbers for 3/3 of that season? Giolito was also not so good for his first 18 starts of 2021
-
This spoke the master pouter and shouter.
-
The ERod and Gray contracts looked good. It looks like no Monty. I’m not even sure we will be a finalist on Stroman or Imanaga. Giolito is another stab in the dark like Kluber, Richards and Paxton. Sure we might make some trades that bring us good SPing but at the cost of many future hopes. We have budget space- a lot of it, even if we stay $5-6M below the line. We are looking like a repeat of the last 2 off seasons. That is reason for deep concern, frustration or even anger, if some express it that way.
-
You conflate suggestions as predictions. No matter how many times I point it out, you persist. Again, nothing specific from you. Just pointing out others, who were specific, times they were wrong. Rinse and repeat.

If usefulness is determined by getting a suggested trade right, name one thing you suggested we do that we have done? Even in general. How “useful” are your suggestions, then, if none ever come true? -
What he did in the past was hire a GM who valued the farm and spent big on free agents- both things you poo poo, now.
