  1. Coaching T ball!!! Best time to coach kids, before they counter your every advice with “But my dad said…”
  2. So… staying home seems like a fun option. For now…
  3. JBJ also want the entirety of that trade. We won’t ever know all the logic that went into that trade, but it’s not ridiculous think they wanted JBJ for some defense and liked Hamilton and Binelas as players they hoped to get for a player who was released one year earlier but played well enough to earn a significant raise. If Bloom wanted to build something of a farm system, trading MLB players at the suspected peak is going to happen. And if they had any designs on someone like Suzuki, the positions certainly made sense…
  4. I don’t think so either, but his reluctance to part with anyone still on the 40 man roster does mean he’s going to wait for openings to happen. Unless he can deal Duran and/or Dalbec…
  5. All my remaining bullpen options signed in a 24 hour stretch. Not sure who is left to get excited about. Maybe Matt Wisler or Matt Moore? Not exactly players who make my stomach flummox and my liver quiver…
  6. No. Taking those winning percentages tells you what would have happened last year, when they mattered. The Sox will benefit somewhat from free games vs the AL East simply because they played so poorly in those games and they played a huge chunk of them when the entire rotation was on the IL.
  7. Toronto went 16-3 against the Red Sox. Next year, they play the Sox 13 times. At the same winning pct, they would be 11-2 against Boston. Think they go 5-1 in those other 6 games? Especially when you remember they were only 76-67 (.531) in games against teams other than the Red Sox…
  8. The other teams in the Sox division didn’t have a .342 winning percentage in the division…
  9. Maybe he needs to go to Hollywood, where it is enough…
  10. Actually, his career OPS vs the Yankees is only .769. Recently, it was .858 in 2022 and .816 in 2021. They’re not his whipping post. His best opponent (100 PA min) is the Cleveland Guardians/Guardians with a career 1.086 OPS…
  11. For Benintendi?
  12. Experts in their craft. Both of them. Just ask them..
  13. You undersell it. This forum is a free-for-all mishmash of Dunning-Kruger, Recency Effect and Backfire Effect, coated lightly with the Bias Blind Spot. I’d admit I’m just as guilty as the rest of you, but that would violate the Bias Blind Spot. So clearly, this applies to everyone else…
  14. Lee has done nothing in MLB so far, but we’re talking about a whipping 20 plate appearances. I imagine his recent domestic issues were a factor in his passing through waivers unclaimed. Still I’d rather have the pitcher, even if he’s probably just a RP…
  15. If Sale and Paxton are both healthy, the Sox could and should be in the postseason hunt. However, as conditional statements go, I think that might be on par with “if I just flap my arms hard enough”…
  16. Are career numbers really relevant here? Career numbers treat Devers’ 2017 (age 20) and 2018 (age 21) as equal to his 2022 season. Is he really the same player as he was in 2017?
  17. Shoring up the middle infield could also be done with a Duran trade. Either a SS (Mateo?) or a 2b (Nick Madrigal?) works for both teams. Then use Story’s vacated 40 man spot for RHRP Alex Reyes, who can be a huge difference maker in healthy. Andrew Chafin would be the second choice if Reyes isn’t healthy (which is very possible, as St.Louis non-tendered him for a reason)…
  18. Wait. Are Elvis’ kids teenagers? If so, a one year league min deal might work. Maybe not today, but in time…
  19. From where the Gator bit it!! I knew it!!
  20. Maybe the OF defense wasn’t the motivation to move Renfroe. Maybe they just decided to sell high as part of a rebuild? If you’re trying to make a sustainable farm system, maybe you have to make the occasional questionable (to others) trade…
  21. Mike Greenwell appreciates being remembered…
  22. But I’m saying that Gatorsaurus Rex probably only needs one bite to eat a golfer whole…
  23. The leash went from around his neck back inside the gator’s mouth. So I assume the owner stopped looking
  24. 1. Scaly Feral Cats was actually the name of my band in high school. 2. Gators bite. Remember that kid at Disney? Not to mention I have to believe this fellow was able to get that big by snacking on far too many who didn’t get the true meaning to “water hazard”.
  25. So which player is most likely to miss Spring Training after eating a tainted blueberry muffin at a restaurant with the name “Sally” in its name? And which player will miss time after leading the team in alligator bites? How about python bites?
