    At that point, you move on. We don’t even know yet if there is a mess to drag anyone in to. It’s interesting that Roenicke is already implicated, and according to some, these scandals clearly involve upper management and ownership, which should implicate Tek. But going outside (where you really don’t know what the guy was doing) is how the Sox got into this mess. Just promote Roenicke and move on. He’s been around the league and even managed teams before without any cheating scandals...

    My OCD tendencies had me thinking a good title for a Sox Blog would be “Anal Sox.” But then the Google searches might take a potential reader elsewhere to a far more distracting site...

    I do think a lot of people are ignoring Roenicke, who managed a low budget Milwaukee team to 335-313 record over 4 years. He might actually be a good choice. Certainly his experience is not bad at all...

    Tek to bench coach. Roenicke to manager. Move on...

    Did he have yuuuuuge boobs too?

    I don’t think any team in MLB history has been accused more often of electronic sign stealing than the Blue Jays. They had that team in 2000 where 7 of the 9 starting position players hit 20 or more home runs (and SS Alex Gonzalez has 15) with a massive advantage at home. Rumors were all over that team...

    Positive? I’ve actually heard only Roenicke’s name as an internal candidate...

    There was a rumor in Toronto a few years back about a “man in white” relaying signals to the Blue Jay hitters from the CF bleachers. Nothing ever came of it and no former Jay ever went public...

    I totally missed the Sox signing Mike Kickham. Kickham is 31, hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2015, has a career MLB ERA of 10.98 (30 IP), and, of course, is left-handed. Now there is no such thing as a bad minor league contract. But at some point, can we sign a right-handed pitcher to one?

    That there has been no public activity on the front makes me think it’s likely being handled internally. And might be further along then we realize...

    I do prefer the notion of “innocent until proven guilty” over “guilty upon first innuendo, and conspiracy if not otherwise proven”...

    I'd be quiet, you Resident of a Foreign Country with Oil...

    Not proof of anything. Plenty of pitchers still pitch from the stretch with runners on...

    I am available. My credits include developing the most accurate projection system ever - the notorious WAPM / UAPM.

    Lookl at the bright side, with all those errors in tee ball you probably “pitched” a few no-hitters...
  16. notin
    Only in the way they’re scored. But in reality, there are nothing but errors in tee ball...

    Yeah someone from the outside. Like Alex Cora...

    I don’t like the way politicians handle politics. Why do they think I want them meddling with baseball?
  19. notin
    Aka a groundball to shortstop with 3 throwing errors...

    You left out legal spitballs Baseball has undergone a ridiculous amount of changes. The number of players on the field is about the only consistency. When the PED scandal broke and the media kept crying about how it was unfair to baseball record holders, AL I could think was “do these people think baseball never changed between Amber Doubleday and Jose Canseco?”

    Then don’t complain about cheating. Getting rid of video rooms won’t stop cheating. It’s not like setting up another camera is that difficult and obvious. We live in an age where people secure GoPro camera to the heads of peregrine falcons and upload the video to YouTube. Do you really think getting rid of a single video room is going to do anything here? If you want to stop electronic sign stealing, maybe “electronic” isn’t the word you should be focusing on here...

    Agree. Put the DH in the NL. Last I looked, the only two baseball leagues in the world that don’t use the DH are the Pacific Coast League in Japan and the National League. In general, pitchers don’t and won’t ever take hitting seriously. They know what fills their paycheck.

    If they weren’t guilty, they had a chance to talk. I thought you were opposed to an omertà defense. I have no idea why you think the media isn’t curious. Google “Astros sign stealing” and you will get millions of hits. I’d rather see the team punished than the individual players. This was a system out in place by coaches and the players accepted it. The naming of names does nothing but satisfy the bloodlust of a witch hunter. That’s been proven already...

    I’d be ok with it if they took it seriously, but so few of them do...

    Isn’t that how the Sox got into this mess in the first place?
