    Hes like a mustachioed Babe Ruth…

    He needed that Swiss guy named Bjordan Flordan…

    They’re boring and seemingly content being so..

    Maybe not, but blocking others does happen. And as an alum of at least one other site, you are no doubt aware that when some fans get their sites on how the team is run, no amount of success changes their mind. I still recall that Bigfoot character ripping “Guitar Boy” Epstein for ruining the Sox while the team was winning the World Series…

    He may be boring, redundant and obsessed with fixing everything solely through spending, but he is definitely polite. That counts for something. Especially since the Sox front office didn’t know we exist, so we are only preaching to each other. Bit I agree that it’s no one’s business to tell other fans what they should and shouldn’t enjoy…

    Like back when Matt Chapman was available…

    Does this count? https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/roman-anthony-701350?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

    Watson or Gamboa. Or Crawford to 60 day if he’s not going to be ready within 3 weeks anyway….

    Story and Duran could be benched. I’d want them to demote Durbin, but he was actually this horrible at the plate at this time last year, too (.501 OPS as late as May 20), so it’s looking like he is a very slow starter. I’m standing by bringing up Braiden Ward at least until Anthony returns. Sure it probably won’t work, but how much more confident am I in Duran at this point?

    The Sox erupted for 17 runs and Cora got fired within minutes. Tracy got the message - keep the offense in check or else!
  11. notin
    Especially when it’s 5 batters who all hit pretty well last year and then all simultaneously s*** the bed at once…

    Cora used to do that with Casas, despite Casas hitting lefties as well as he hit righties. Some managers are addicted to platooning. But the reality is it’s small market baseball…
  13. notin
    See! Splinter got it…
  14. notin
    Platooning has been around since at least 1910, Managers were platooning hitters before foul poles became part of the game, and long before anything considered analytical was done in MLB…

    Wow. He hung that curve like you wouldn’t believe, and we are talking a John Wasdin level hanger here, and you not only whiffed on the most obvious punchline, you actually came back with the worst one. Even letting it stand alone was better (and sufficient). This is why you have absolutely no future as a joke writer. And if we are ever in some sort of emergency and the President says “the only solution to avert a National crisis of epic and possibly Armageddon-esque proportions is a punchline from Old Red that, well, all it has to do is not suck”, I will know we are truly doomed. Take this as a constructive criticism…

    It still might be. Sure it would have been routine for some, but let’s credit Benintendi with the effort. I think the Robert’s thing has always overshadowed Kevin Millar working the walk in the first place, so Robert’s could pinch run. In 16 postseason series and 141 postseason innings, Rivera only walked 21 batters. The credit needs to go where it’s due…
  17. notin
    Yep. Duran and Story are the prime violators…
  18. notin
    We don’t need a first baseman…😉
  19. notin
    And Luis Gonzalez went down in MLB history for a routine blooper to shortstop, except for that drawn in infield…
  20. notin
    So he can bat ninth, which makes him the more useful and cheaper Hayes…
  21. notin
    If Jarren “The Man With 1000 Batting Stances” Duran can get going and Story can hit like he has over the last 3 years, and if Durbin can, well what can Durbin do? Bat ninth I guess. Then maybe this team could finally put something together. Thats not too much to ask. But honestly, if that does happen, it will likely just expose the bullpen…
  22. notin
    Still funny 90 years later…
  23. notin
    Zero chance he gets DFAd. But it’s nice to see we are equally impatient with other teams’ top prospects…
  24. notin
    Ummmm…. No. This is Duran’s first down year unless you count 2021 and 2022 when he never played as many as 70 games…
  25. notin
    Thats the thing. You can fix an entire bullpen for less money than it costs to add a 34yo DH on a multiyear deal. Thats really inexcusable…
