    Well, you have to remember he’s talking about the ‘60s. So yeah, they were probably lots of fun to watch since everyone was hopped up on goofballs. I mean, what wasn’t fun to watch in the 60s?

    All the more reason to hurry!!

    The Sox need Braiden Ward and his .462 OBP…

    That wasn’t a tag up play. Are you saying he should have run through the stop sign?

    Tagged what?

    That was mvp you trolled. We’re different people. He’s taller, but I’m more handsome and wittier…

    Maybe Brock didn’t feel safe until recently? And in all fairness, he never actually named Hanley. It could be coincidental. It was probably Sandoval. That makes more sense. And, completely unrelated, does Hanley read this forum?

    Eaton is very fast. Also throws very hard. Two difficult skills to improve with coaching. But he’s a mediocre hitter who probably becomes a bad hitter as his PAs increase…

    Montagna?

    The alleged story on dumping Hanley might be one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Brock Holt told a story you can find on the internet about a teammate in Boston who threatened to bring a gun into the locker room and then singled out Holt as one of his primary targets. Holt warned his teammate not to say things like that as he (Brock) had to report it, but reportedly the teammate didn’t back down and recant. Holt to this day refuses to identify the teammate, but several days later, Hanley was released. I was surprised at the time that the Sox cut bait wuth Hanley, but it makes sense after hearing this story…

    Agreed. Breslow is in charge, which carries a certain amount of culpability, but he’s not the reason many players on this team are simply not performing. To say it’s that he didn’t soend enough ignores obvious issues - such as the fact that 5 teams gave records as bad or worse than Boston’s, and four of them have similar or bigger payrolls. Two (Mets and Phillies) have significantly larger payrolls. Breslow has made stupid trades. Tibbs for May being the most obvious. I mean, if May was a capable contributor, why would the Dodgers sell him off in a pennant race? With 2full months left and no more waiver deadline, they were not going to unload any pitcher they thought they might need. And May was not going to be one they needed and they knew it. Dumb, dumb trade. Harrison for Durbin looks bad, but really it’s pure SSS right now snd each player has a lot of baseball left before their control expires. I didn’t think Durbin was the guy they needed, but he might prove to be an asset at some point…

    Next up - Alex Gamboa and Jedixson Paez…

    Well, he is available. And maybe he wants the chance to show up Breslow…

    It’s actually surprising the Sox still have a 5 man rotation with those 5 on the IL, Dobbins and Fitts in St. Louis, and have yet to add a SP to the 40 man.

    Lou? Lou Gorman? It’s been so long!

    How is “hitting, hitting, hitting” working out for the Mets?
  17. notin
    Their arms are all different lengths, so it should be ok..

    If his OBP is still over .500, call him up now!
  19. notin
    A change of pace to give ‘em a lefty for once.

    I do that already without making trades. I could finally explain myself!! Weird looks count as high fives, right?

    But even then, how many really pitched better after being traded? Sale? Did he really pitch better or just stop getting hurt? Before all the injuries kicked in and kept him on the shelf for 4 seasons, he was pretty damned good in Boston. Pivetta wasn’t traded and left via free agency. Sox did offer a QO, which you can argue was only for the draft pick, but realistically any team offering a QO - especially for a player like Pivetta - has to be prepared for him to accept. Harrison- A case of 23 IP in Milwaukee vs 12 IP in Boston. That shouldn’t count Rodruguez-Cruz - He has 4 IP in his career. This is list bulking. Priester - Did pitch very well in 2025, outperforming his own metrics. Yet to pitch in 2026. So is the list really just Priester? And really, he’s the one whose trade was the most confusing…,

    I think that’s technically assault and battery. Massachusetts has a law against it, I believe…
  23. notin
    All right. You talked me into it…
  24. notin
    Technically you just need to outrun one other person also running from the tiger…

    As long as it’s not the 2020-2023 version of Chris Sale…
