True, but we also shouldn’t immediately dismiss the notion he is being honest and we have a better assessment of the Sox staff. Especially a viewpoint that shouldn’t be dismissed by those disappointed with the last staff’s handling of Brasier and the failure to teach him a cutter…

Paxton is a waste. I’ve seen that show before. He’s definitely talented, but he’s also 35 and stifled big time with i in njuries from 30-34. He’d probably give the Sox 30-40 good innings, and that would be his season total. Hard pass. The Sox at a minimum need pitching depth. If we concede Houck is in the rotation, then maybe backfill his bullpen slot (A. Chapman? W Peralta?) and add some hidable starter depth (Lauer? Trumbull? Junis? Davies?)

But we all know better than Bailey!

True for Bellinger and Matt Chapman. Not true how much Matt’s brother Aroldis is going for these days…
-
Why? If he’s found innocent and able to return to MLB, he’s not a free agent. Why would Tampa trade him? Of course being found innocent won’t change people’s mind that he’s guilty…

Not surprising. Hasn’t been any good chatter about the CF/1b coming of a 4.4 bWAR session with a 133 OPS+. Nor much about the 3b with 4 Gold Gloves coming of a 4.4 bWAR season. And no chatter at all about the most dominant LHRP in recent years who has lost some zip on his fastball, but let’s face it, he always had some zip to spare…

I think I’d take Bauer over Urias…
-
Available free agent SP - IP leaders (last 3 years) 1. Jordan Montgomery 524 2. Julio Urias 478 3. Zack Greinke 450 4. Blake Snell 436 5. Rich Hill 429 6. Alex Wood 367 7. Zach Davies 364 8. Eric Lauer 324 You’re not going to find an innings eater after Montgomery…

Maybe he meant to say “wouldn’t”. You know. Like a lot of folks are saying..,
-
Ohhhhh. It’s Bill Engvall, not Jeff Foxworthy. You were close, Hugh…

Hey don’t knock them. They’re some of the friendliest disembodied voices you’d even get haunted by…

Bell-Moseby-Barfield was one exciting outfield!!
-
So you think he doesn’t care about his $660mill investment? Not buying it. But if you do think he doesn’t care, why boycott? Boycotting only works of someone cares…
-
I totally believe Henry wants to win. I do. I don’t believe he doesn’t care. He spent $660milion to acquire this team. Nobody ever anywhere spent $660mill on something and then didn’t care about it. However, I don’t think Henry wants to spend to win. He wants the “Rays Way” but without all those years of struggling the Rays went through to get there…

Please tell me you have a hat. And not the one with the YG on it; any of the goat ones…

Mediocre means “of moderate quality” or “nothing special.” In MLB, all teams finish between .400 and .600, and the ones that don’t usually are not outside that range by much. I think falling in the .520-.540 (84-87) win range might be a bit too good to be considered “of moderate quality.” Especially since a team in that range went to the World Series last year…

I was posting about it on the internet. But as none of you had computers or cell phones, you couldn’t access my gripes. It’s too bad. That was my best, brightest and wittiest work. There was some Pulitzer talk…

Sox fans had lower expectations then. In 1983-1985, the Sox went 245-241, never playing in the postseason (granted, per-wild card so only 2 AL teams got in). In 2021-2023, the Sox went 248-238 with an ALCS appearance, and the talk is All boycott. And yet there were some highlights in the 1983-85 years, per the post above. None of them involved winning anything, but highlights nonetheless. No one evrn wants to hear highlights about the recent years, despite them actually being better than many previous stretches…
-
I’m not boycotting and I don’t think the off-season over yet. But I certainly see how Henry has fueled the frustration among fans…
-
Yes, we know. You stopped watching when the team got good for a while…
-
In this case, I think it means “relent and give in to.” You know, like what people on their deathbeds do eventually…
-
It’s fine as long as they find a CBO who can do the job, of which the duties include the making it to the postseason, with no exceptions or excuses, and doing so with the following criteria: 1. No sacrificing the farm to build the parent club, as this is the pipeline to the future. 2. No sacrificing the parent club to build the farm, as the whole purpose of the farm is to support the parent club and not the other way around. 3. Trim payroll. And above all - no excuses! Any and all excuse makers will be throttled fully!
-
I can accept 78-84 as meeting the definition of mediocre. The problem, apparently, is Werner thinks this team just isn’t mediocre enough to get concerned about…
-
Should we all agree to drop the “full throttle” stuff now and maybe focus instead on how he allegedly doesn’t accept mediocrity?
-
Soto enjoys hitting against everybody…
