  1. If Hernandez is carrying this team, someone needs to tell Cora. Because the dude hardly plays...
  2. But a win, at least...
  3. So... keep 4 guys?
  4. The worst part isn’t even getting beat by a s***** team. It’s getting repeatedly beat by the s***** hitters on a s***** team like Jansen and Drury...
  5. Or the good news - maybe Henry will finally hire a GM after firing or killing or imprisoning Dombrowski or whatever he clearly did to him. Because if he hasn’t fired Dombrowski and DD is capable of doing his job, he needs to be fired. Badly...
  6. If DD was making moves and they weren’t panning out, I’d be sympathetic. But that he keeps up this status quo as the entire season gets more difficult every day is just flat out negligent...
  7. Technically not a Sox farm product. The Sox acquired him from the Yankees for Mike Stanley, I believe...
  8. At this point, I’ll settle for proof of life from DD...
  9. Can you blame him?
  10. All for trying. No expectations, but the worst thing is Brock/Nunez getting benched for a while. DD has been steadfast in not making moves this year...
  11. Yeah that’s a fairly nonsensical comment...
  12. The 90’s were the Suppan-Rose-Pavano years....
  13. Betts!!! Elite trade value there!
  14. Says the voice with the man-crush on Hunter Renfroe...
  15. Oh I think the cranky thing was not a secret I brought it up just to show Eovaldi was in an expected range, not that MLBTR writers are known for their predictions. Look, if I’m defending Dombrowski, it’s probably because he didn’t make a mistake...
  16. You do realize MLBTR makes those predictions before players declare and GMs ignore them, right? They also predict teams free agents sign with, but HMs don’t treat that like its an assigned task...
  17. Well, the primary “not a repeatable skill” stat is RBIs. And the main reason is, outside of HRs, it’s 100% dependeant on other players being on base. If. Hitter comes up with 400 runners on base one year and 300 the next, his RBI totals will obviously drop regardless of performance. The things you say are not repeatable skills are things I would argue are, depending on the level of precision. But the repeatability of those skills is what gets many to the majors. I can get (very) lucky and hit a Nathan Eovaldi fastball once. But once that happens, it ain’t repeating...
  18. I’m not one to defend DD for no reason, and certainly not one to justify the outrageous Eovaldi contract, but what little I heard had other bidder(s) in that range. Even MLBTR had a 4 year $60mill prediction for his contract. He was expected to do well...
  19. The bottom line is, dgalehouse was questioning why the high fives after a ninth inning out. I think the answer is simple: they’re having fun. It’s a game. If you played baseball for a career, win or lose, wouldn’t you be ecstatic about your job? And be thrilled to play every day?
  20. You’ve gotten especially cranky this week. I do think this team needs to explore Betts trades now. I know they won’t. Dombrowski is always up for trading a bunch of prospects and younger platers for an established star, but has very little experience doing the reverse...
  21. An MVP and multiple 7-8 fWAR seasons by age 28 should work out for him. Someone will pay. Don’t tell me a year you pegged the Padres as Machado’s new team...
  22. Sarcasm? That’s the literal bottom of the sports journalism barrel...
  23. Actually there were reportedly several teams in on Eovaldi. Pearce? Probably against themselves. But Eovaldi was supposedly a hot commodity for a while this past offseason...
  24. I think DD’s voicemail message says “Sorry Dave is not making moves at this time. Please check back in November.”
