For some who claims to be indifferent you certainly put them down alot…
-
Yes. What was their opinion on Juan Soto? That the Sox could and should get him, he wouldn’t cost any prospects, and that the only reason abloom didn’t was sheer incompetence? Something like that is 100% devoid of facts. And is easily refuted by seeing what Soto eventually did go for. And these are your sources?

Angel Hernandez has dropped so many racist allegations against MLB that they probably think firing him would result in a horribly public discrimination lawsuit…
-
Maybe he did but since all the pitchers he’s brought into the organization are still in A ball, you’re not seeing immediate results. Or maybe he did and that’s why Crawford, Winckowski and Bello were better than expected…
-
The good ol’ fashioned Goose Egg stat developed by Nate Silver, which was just a scoreless inning from the 7th or later in a game where the reliever’s team is tied it up by two runs or less. That is the best measure. It’s named for Advanced Stats Loudest and Most Prifane Critic Rich Gossage. Of course, Gossage is equally critical of the modern day use of closers, which he considers a pathetic joke, but with more swears. He’s also the all time MLB leader in Goose Eggs…

Not to mention how every new-dangled metric eventually just becomes a boring stat. Who even looked at OBP thirty years ago? Now we look at it as something we need to get back to. Or do people think Abner Doubleday put the formula for calculating WHIP into the original rules, right after adding when a relief pitcher is eligible for a save vs a hold? It is funny that many who decry analytics also cling to the Save stat as if that didn’t derive from analytical data…

A lot of folks in the sports media adopted the stance that complaining about everything makes them look smarter…
-
It’s funny how you still think media is clearly based on facts. Apparently you’re the guy who still does…
-
Ooh radio opinions!! Always so informative! Obviously the 4 players you named were great, but you can’t credit them for two decades of success when most of them have been gone for over 10 years. The radio guys like to criticize because they miss the point that while great players certainly are help, the gaps get filled with analytics. And sometimes those gaps get filled by a player who actually becomes great, like David Ortiz…
-
Actually it’s because you repeatedly emphasize everything negative and attempt to bully anyone who says anything positive and because you denigrate “nerds” and blame analytics and refuse to acknowledge the role of analytics in the recent success of the last 2 decades. And even when asked if you would emphasize the negatives, you blatantly and overtly said yes and scoffed at anything even mildly positive. I stand by what I said. I don’t get why you’re afraid to admit it. Not like it’s a crime. Not even on a Sox board…
-
It was ok. That his 103 IP is third on the team says more about the health of the rest of the staff than it does about Hill…
-
The Rays trail by 4.5 games. On July 3, the Yankees lead Tampa by 15.5 games. If Tampa catches them, this will be the largest lead lost in a season, breaking the old record from 1914 when the New York Giants lost a 15 game lead to the Boston Braves…
-
It’s so funny that you actually don’t think you do the same thing…
-
On board. Although I’m willing to accept any of a range of Marlins’ pitchers…
-
If we just get Cabrera (or Lopez or Luzardo or Garrett or Rogers), I’ll be happy…
-
I’d rather gamble on Syndergaard than find an ace that wowed me and sign him to a Gerrit Cole contract…
-
Mixed emotions on Syndergaard. If he can pitch like 2018-2019 Syndergaard or better yet 2016 - he would be great. But he’s been average to below since for a variety of reasons and he’s already taken a one year “show me” contract. With the Syndergaarden Cop, the shorter the deal the better. And that makes him a tough sign, because someone else will always pay more for his name…
-
It’s become obvious Old Red is rooting for the Sox to lose in hopes they fire Bloom and stop using those pesky analytics. The problem is the days of the non-analytical GM are, as Old Red would say, going, going GONE. And not only are they never coming back, any new GM brought in is likely to be even MORE analytics-based…
-
Keep it simple. Not even sure they want to move two arms. I think the Marlins want to capitalize on their surplus and remove an arbitration case, but I don’t think they want to deplete their pitching…
-
Now see I missed him every time the camera panned to Jarren Duran…
-
Just make a list of every prospect that you think should be untouchable, and then decide which of them to trade…
-
I’my saying he not a liar. I’m just saying on some statements it’s a bit early to make that call…
-
Free agency only offers a few tempting bullpen arms. If you’re looking to add a starter, the best place to start is Miami, who has said Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez are untouchable, but is willing to listen on Pablo Lopez, Edward Cabrera, Trevor Rogers, Braxton Garrett Jesus Luzardo, and Sixto Sanchez. BTV says Ceddane Rafaela for Cabrera is a fair trade. But supposedly their deadline prices for Lopez were “outrageous”, so this might get costly. Or maybe Rafaela for Sanchez is more realistic, but only if Sanchez can get and hopefully stay healthy….

Starting with you. I brought up that this team and payroll are still 50% inherited - a situation that was far, far, far worse when Bloom took over - but nope. It’s been 3 years and that means Bloom signed Sale and Martinez and all those bad deals… -
I think Cohen wants him as a headline-stealing Met. And he has shown he’ll pay for anything…
