  1. There’s still a massive difference in people “wasting money” by commuting to work and spending it on baseball games. Was your point that people who didn’t like baseball games were wasting money going to them anyway? MLB made a record $10billion in 2019. They still have interested fans…
  2. Eovaldi goes one season without getting hurt for the first time in eight years and now people think he’s immune?? And got 8 years left?
  3. No he didn’t. He posted a -6.2 UZR.
  4. Donaldson has only one time had a negative UZR. Decline or just a bad season? Too early to tell. But if UZR is a good judge, LeMahieu is average to below at 3b. Not at all a Gold Glove Pedigree. His career UZR at 3b is actually worse than Bogaerts’ is at shortstop…
  5. The money baseball makes is directly tied to fan interest. The price of gas is not based on the volume of traffic (although if it was, more traffic would mean more expensive gas)…
  6. No good. Jonah Hill has moved on from the A’s to become the White House Chief of Staff…
  7. Ranger Suarez last year?
  8. The shortened spring are clearly the reasons for not only the expanded roster, but also the “ghost runner.” Now does the use of a ghost runner up the appeal of Duran or Billy Hamilton? Bearing in mind that using them that way means removing the player who made the last out the previous inning from the game…
  9. Not to mention a left fielder who can barely handle the defensive requirements to play DH…
  10. So after all the posts about the Sox starting the “inferior defender” Bogaerts at SS over Story, you then think the Yankees should start LeMahieu at 3b over Donaldson?!?!
  11. Why do a “pen game” when there are 2 extra roster spots early in the season? Call up Crawford or Groome or someone to pitch…
  12. DFA candidates to me are, in whatever order Arauz, Davis, Tyler, Valdez, Bazardo and maybe R Hernandez
  13. Think Strahm is that high on the list just weeks after signing an MLB deal for $3mill?
  14. His problem is Correa might re-enter the market next year. Lindor and Seager are still the benchmarks every agent will want…
  15. Dustin Pedroia also has 3 World Series rings. That’s also the number of games he played in 2018…
  16. It’s 28 for the first month.
  17. He’s also not exactly the best player to throw out there as an ample given how his contract has gone so far…
  18. That’s a bit of an overreaction to the hypothetical non-signing of two players…
  19. So after the historic 86 year championship drought ends, fans can’t go 4 years without a title anymore?
  20. With Beltre, all you has to do was touch his head…
  21. It’s becoming a bullpen game, but a team can win with a 4-deep lights out bullpen. The Sox don’t have that, and moving Houck to the rotation brings them further away. Diekman isa good (nowhere near great, but we’ll-entrenched in good) pitcher no one will ever classify as “lights out.” Strahm looks like a leap of faith to me. And I have never been a big believer of Brasier. I do still have faith in Barnes and Whitlock. I am hoping for another arm, and if Austin Davis needs to be DFAd and released to fit him, so be it. My personal choice is Jose Urena could be a lights out reliever. And since no one will ever sign him for that role to prove me wrong, I get to keep saying it and pretending I’m on to something. But in the mean time, I’m still on the Oliver Drake train, although he is really a right-handed Diekman…
  22. Normally an IL started can go back to the player’s last appearance. Not sure about ST IL stints. Either way he probably needs the full 60 days and might require more. Ribs are notoriously slow healers, what with all that breathing humans do…
  23. Can he get a helper monkey that can turn double plays?
