    Woody Hayes was a big dick. For me, it goes back that far. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=304338050205426

    There was no guarantee on Devers, Bogey, Betts, JBJ, either. It's awfully hard to win a ring with no top homegrown talent and a somewhat restrictive budget. Like I said, I'm fine with making a big splash prospect trade. I just don't want to empty the farm for the here and now. We all should all see that that is a big part of what got us here in the first place.

    My season has boiled down to rooting for whoever is facing Alabama and Ohio St.

    I'd be fine waiting it our for all our prospects to mature. Look what the 2011 draft class (and IFA signings around then) did for us. I just don't think Sox Nation can handle another down year, as we wait it out. I think we will make one big splash trade of prospects for a young, controllable star.

    There are plenty of facts gotten wrong, here, too.

    I don't think GMs drop stock prices as much as we think, but point well taken. Rafaela and Mata, then.
  7. moonslav59
    I doubt they have a Joe Montana listed 3rd on their depth chart, this year- like they did in '77.

    UConn is not on national TV, every week, exposing their ineptitude.

    I went over this with you during the summer. I think it was Vaz. They kept saying why trade Vaz when he has another year of team control. Repeated it over and over. That was just one example. I don't want to relitigate this.

    If Angel Hernandez could not get fired, I rest my case...
  11. moonslav59
    He's better away, this year (both sample sizes over 100 ABs).

    Bloom has to know who the guys that can recognize and develop great pitchers are. Offer 'em double. If they say no, offer 'em triple.
  13. moonslav59
    What good does that do? An ump can get half the calls wrong, and they can't fire him.
  14. moonslav59
    His best hope is probably DH, and that's a longshot. Was he all that bad at 2B?

    I listen to many different opinions on everything from sports to music to politics. Of course, I don't agree with them all, and I expect that. I told you already what bother me about those talk shows, and it wasn't their differing opinions. It was their near complete ignorance of the facts. It's their job, and they can't even verify facts, and this isn't some political alt fact thing: they couldn't even get right how many control years a Sox player had. That bugged me. I will also say, many opinions on why we should have traded for Soto got me thinking some people are clueless, but it didn't bother me, personally.

    That was 10 times worse than any of these changes.
  17. moonslav59
    That sounds good. If he steps out with 9 seconds, does the clock get paused? Can he step out 2 or more times?
  18. moonslav59
    I wonder, if he's even tried.
  19. moonslav59
    I think we need to trade for an ace. I'd offer a QO to Wacha, and not Nate, but if they bring back both, we still need an ace. I'd rather trade Casas or Yorke & Rafaela for an ace than spend half our winter budget on a FA pitcher.
  20. moonslav59
    Indeed.
  21. moonslav59
    We have too many wings and prayers on our staff already. We need durability and known skillsets. (Yes, all pitchers are a gamble, but we need to seek stability.)
  22. moonslav59
    I think the length of the games is part of the decline, too, but yes, cost increases and the inconvenience of getting to and from the venue matter most..
  23. moonslav59
    I'll try to find the article. Yes, there are many different opinions- most not in agreement with mine on many issues.
  24. moonslav59
    Somebody posted that, recently. I'm not sure how many years it is.
  25. moonslav59
    Well said. Bad or questionable calls should not be part of the game, if they don't have to be.
