  1. Obviously you’ve never seen Joe Boyle pitch…
  2. You can block your colon and still be grammatically correct.
  3. You could make a decent rotation out of players whose names are full sentences. Max Fried. Corbin Burnes. Dylan, Cease!
  4. ERA is affected by inherited runners the bullpen allows, right? If Sale leaves with 2 men on base, the bullpen can let them score but Sale gets charged with the earned runs, which raises his ERA…
  5. Despite the stars that need to align, I’m actually surprised this has never happened before…
  6. And a better bullpen stranding any/most inherited runners he passes along? Atlanta’s deeper pitching depth also gives him the occasional extra day, but his workload has long since past anything he did in the last few years in Boston..
  7. Sale has 4.4 bWAR this so far this year. In 4 seasons since 2019, Sale accrued 2.6 bWAR for the Sox. Even when he did pitch for Boston, he simply was nowhere near this good. Last year, in 20 starts, he was worth 1.7 bWAR. This year, his 4.4 bWAR is in only 3 more starts…
  8. So the Mariners (332-282 since 2020 with one postseason appearance) have fired Scott Servais. Meanwhile the Angels (277-337 with no postseason appearances in that same time frame) have extended GM Perry Minasian despite his building a team with fewer wins and a higher payroll (not all his fault) and creating a universally acclaimed MLB-worst farm system that ranks at the bottom not only in terms of quality and quantity of prospects, but also in treatment of them. Got it…
  9. The use of “distraction” with “diversion” also constitutes assonance…
  10. They have MAYONNAISE on them!!! I’m in Chicago, where they put tomatoes, cucumbers and hot peppers on hot dogs, along with this neon green glow-in-the-dark relish that’s completely devoid of flavor. But at least they don’t put mayonnaise on hot dogs. Heck they get revolted at the thought of ketchup…
  11. Unfortunately. https://www.thespruceeats.com/seattle-hot-dogs-4773446 But hey, it’s gotta be better than those godawful Sonora dogs in Arizona…
  12. That’s because they put cream cheese on hot dogs out there…
  13. As long as we don’t have Adrian Beltre steam rolling him, he’ll be fine…
  14. I think the worst think about “full throttle” was Werner’s lame ass explanation. “It’s my motto I live by. It’s how I do everything.” Except run the Red Sox, right Tom?
  15. This is what I was talking about the other day. Some media outlet - based on roster and suspected team needs- goes and publishes that the Sox are a good candidate to land Corbin Burnes. I forget why I was posting about it, but anyway. The Sox aren’t a serious candidate here. I think we’ve all learned that. There’s a better chance of Bigfoot playing for the Sox next year than Burnes…
  16. You’re only saying that because he has less career bWAR than Coco Crisp…
  17. Grissom is a 23yo player who smashed the Atlanta farm system, graduating within 3 years and getting better at every level. Romy is a role player you don’t want to see out there 130 games a year. Sogard has a ceiling of utility infielder. Hamilton has exciting speed but is a weak fielder and whose hitting has dropped off. Valdez is a LF/DH miscast in the middle infield…
  18. Absolutely. We should let women post here free of charge…
  19. Also Verlander has a much younger brother (who was a minor league outfielder with Detroit) whose dog goes absolutely ballistic when he sees Justin pitching on TV…
  20. This year nonwithstanding, there are a few reasons to think Grissom can outperform that crowd of AAAA players and utility infielders…
  21. In company with two (should be?) Hall of Famers…
  22. But we also lost Casey Kelly and Rey Fuentes in that deal!!! They could have both played out their lackluster minor league careers in Pawtucket!!
  23. Or… bring the Brewers back to the AL! Move the Royals to the AL West and there you go. The balance of the Universe has been restored…
