    Well said. From the team’s point of view, they can certainly can someone when something like this comes up that exposes a hidden truth.

    I’m 100% behind the Sox parting ways with Cora. This from the fan who called him the greatest Sox manager of all time- before knowing he’s a cheater. No way can he manage my team with that rap. The Sox did right. Time to move on.

    I think these guys are good at multitasking.

    The o’s and Jays are our rivals this year

    Devers is not going anywhere. Neither is Bogey. The rest are open to offers.

    His biggest 3 are for a SPer, C and 2Bman.

    I’m thrilled we hired Bloom. He’s probably the best guy to shorten the rebuild (cliff) and get us through a budget reset.

    Well, when 3-4 will be on the DL, one more may be needed.

    My own wife cheats at tennis against me.

    Maybe not better than 2019, or at least very close... Look at the PAs per sample and extrapolate... 2019 .883 in 537 PAs man on 2nd only .856 in 385 PAs man on 1 + 2 .739 in 182 PAs 2 + 3 .734 in 174 PAs bases loaded 2018 .853 in 579 2nd .783 in 402 1+2 1.030 in 176 .963 in 196 bases loaded Man on 2nd only and 1st & 2nd combine for over 900 PAs each season Man on 2 & 3 or loaded is only 350-375.

    I'm thrilled beyond words!

    I don't think anyone breaks down home vs away into other splits like these wanted. They do have overall (H+A) numbers with a man on 2B: OPS 2019 .883 2nd only .856 1st & 2nd .739 2nd and 3rd .734 1st, 2nd & 3rd 2018 .853 2nd .783 1+2 1.030 2+3 .962 1,2,3 2017 .772 2nd .712 1+2 1.100 2+3 .686 1,2,3 Not that this helps or hurts proving anything.

    Some believe any news is better than no news. One is our president.
  15. moonslav59
    All this crap is really bringing out some absurdities.
  16. moonslav59
    You mean the guy drove the program into extinction? Sad.
  17. moonslav59
    1. No, you don't have to conclude he cheated here. You can fire him for just being a cheater- as a person. 2. True, but this would be a huge distraction, which actually might help distract from how much we'll suck. 3. I could care less right now about who manages in 2020. It won't be Cora. It shouldn't be in 2021. Bucky is not the only choice. I'd even take you over him.
  18. moonslav59
    Imagine the records he'd break!
  19. moonslav59
    Reason 1: Do we want a cheater as out leader? Reason 2: Do we want the media side show that would follow Cora and the Sox for months and months? Reason 3: He was going to suspended for a full year. One may not think these are reason enough, but they do "make sense."

    Bummer.

    Or NH- no income or sales tax.
  22. moonslav59
    Buying a house in Texas means you pay an 8.5% sales tax. (It's what we have instead of income tax.) I guess one can work here but live elsewhere.
  23. moonslav59
    Here is a plan I am nearly certain will not happen, but it is an extreme version of what I might think would help us get better by 2021 and/or beyond (at the expense of 2020). The trade simulator accepted all of these trades. Betts & Eovaldi to LAD for Pollock, Gonsolin, Stripling & Cartaya Price & Walden to SDP for Myers & Margot JBJ (+$1M) & Workman for Dominic Smith & Marisnik JD (+$8M) to TOR for Rowdy Tellez Barnes & Hembree to ATL for Kyle Wright That leaves us with... SP: Sale, ERod, Perez, Gonsolin, Stripling, Wright plus what we have left over RP: DHern, Taylor, Brasier, Lakins, Velazquez, Weber, Brewer plus leftovers C: Vaz & Plawecki, Cartaya 1B: D Smith/Myers/Tellez 2B: Peraza/ Chavis 3B: Devers, Dalbec/Chavis SS: Bogey, Lin, Chatham LF: Beni/Myers CF: Pollock RF: Margot DH: Myers/Dalbec/Chavis Our budget would be tens of millions below the lux tax, and we'd be poised to go after Betts and others next winter.
  24. moonslav59
    I'm pretty sure that's true, but sometimes a player will take a slightly lower deal to play where he wants, or the taxes are lower... I was speaking about his wishes to play for the Sox or not. I can't imagine us offering him more than anyone else (or the same) and him leaving, but who knows after all this crap.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, only or almost entirely just the dugout.
