No thank you, I’d rather sign Yama, maybe Snell too.

I've been predicting that we go for it in 2024 for a while. So confident about it I even changed my signature to stop gloating about my prediction of extending Devers this offseason.

FWIW both Wacha and Eovaldi have been banged up lately, Nate has barely pitched in 6 weeks. Wacha hasn't pitched since July 1st. Eovaldi hasn't pitched since July 18th. If we resigned those two, we'd still be down two starters rigth now, and one less draft pick.

I didn't research it in huge depth but at first glance here is what I see. JD Martinez is having a good year, but not better than his overall slash line in Boston. He was overall better here, he's just having a better year this year than he had last year. Nathan Eovaldi is having a career year, he's not just pitching better than he did here but everywhere. Wacha you could say the same, but to be fair, he also pitched better for us than he did most other seasons he ever had in the big leagues. Kike, was misused here, I really feel if he was in that super utility role his slash line might look better here. But then again, he may also be a change of scenery guy, because it's not like he never did here what he is doing there either.

I really don't have the ambition to go back and read everything said between Old Red and Moon on this current spat version 784391.0 but I will say this. I've had various times throughout my life were I've had a whole season go by and barely watch any games at all, and some seasons were I had been 100% invested in the team. Everyone is different but in my particular case it had nothing to do with onfield success but rather where I was in life as a man. Sometimes life gets in the way, whether it's work, school, women, or other various topics we do not need to discuss. This point does bring back a fond memory. I watched or listened to on the radion EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. in 2013, and was so emotionally invested in that season that in my mind, in my world, it's the greatest Sox season of all time.

As will I.

Again, you added the word sinister, I was very specific to say it was neither good nor bad. Let's call a spade a spade here. There are a million other references you could have used, the fact that you didn't mean it in an emasculating way doesn't mean it is not. I will say this, after your last post I would believe that you did not mean it to be such. But it is, and it's something I've come to waken up on in society lately, and I'm merely pointing out that I refuse to do that to other men.....I hope others follow me.

It can both be done at the same time, and that's Blooms plan. He just did a piss poor job of executing it. Luckily, they didn't screw up the farm half of the plan and the future is still bright. But we get it....losing sucks. That we all agree on.

Thank you. And I'll tell you what, I didn't think you would answer my question directly, I thought you would continue to beat around the bush. I will give credit where credit is due and thank you for that. Even though we disagree a lot I sincerely thank you for that. Now. The view is a show, of alll women, primarily watch by women about topics with a female perspective. To say "the men of the view" is emasculating men. That is not an opinion it's a fact. To state a group of men do something that is associated with feminity in an argumentative manner is literally the definition of such. There's no rational explanation against that the same way you can not logically argue 2+2 does not equal 4. That is neither good nor bad, so I don't understand the need to deny it on your part. Here's a suggestion from one man to another, own it. If thats how you want to treat other people own it. I'm a dick. how many dicks in here openly say they are dick? I own that. I'm merely pointing out, that I refuse to take part in a cultural concept pushed by women to emasculate men during an argument. If you want to do that, that's fine, that's your prerogative. But we can not, nor will I let anyone say it's something that it is not. I refuse to emasculate another man to win and argument. I think the world would be a better place for men, and the mental health of men would be a lot better if more did the same.

Thank you, now maybe you can show your fellow service member an ounce of respect and answer my yes or no question.

Dude, don't beat around the bush and be all cyrptic. Are you talking about the TV show the view? It's simple question.

I've been on a ship, helicopter, and a plane and jumped in and out of many places as well.

You didn't answer my question. It's a direct yes or no question. Was your reference about the TV show...."The View"???

Are you talking about the show, the view? the one with all the women that women watch?

Yeah, honestly I've thought about doing competitive eating, still am actually. I was blessed (or cursed) with the ability to eat massive amounts of food in a short period of time. Being in the military only enhanced this ability of mine.

That's my problem man, I used to love to indulge. I used to love "trauma blocking" with food, which IS an addiction, and as many people don't know almost no one is addicted to just one thing. I could easily buy an entire bag (the big bag) of Reeses peanut butter cups and a gallon of milk and down it in a sitting.

I plateaued when I hit 200 for about a year, recently I've been stepping my diet game up. And I technically lied a few posts back. I had a cheat day when I was in Narraganset for a few days weeks ago. I had claim cakes, clam chowder, and some fish and chips......and it was glorious.

The fact that you had to point out to me it was coined by a woman completely makes my point, so thank you for making my point. I will uphold my pledge, even though I'm certain you would never take it.

Coined by a woman is all we need to know.

HA! I can sense the sarcasm in this, and I'm guessing we might have some similar views. I have come to learn to let go of people in recent years. It's actually amazing that when you really truly let go and live your life for yourself how people will try to crawl their way back into it. I actually did have an ex hit me up on instagram just the other day talking about how "hot" i am. I ignored her because deep down inside I know shes coming back because she got rejected elsewhere. 90% of the time, that's why people try to come back into your life.

3 years ago I was 285 lbs, a fat slob, a cheater, a liar, and a drug user. Today I stand at 180 13% body fat, and never felt better about the person I am inside and out. I want to get down to 10% at least. I've thought about doing a body building contest, but we will see, for now I'm just doing it for myself.

I don't see a lot of things nowadays, I'm lucky if I get 7 hours of sleep, and I weigh out every single calorie on a food scale; I haven't had a carbohydrate that wasn't brown rice, oats, or sweet potato in over two months. My mind is seriously starting to retaliate against me right now.

Women love to emasculate men when they disagree with them, and they've even conditioned us men to do it to ourselves. I take a pledge right now, no matter how mean, no matter how much of a dickhead I am, and I will be because I can not help myself, but I take a pledge to never make any type of joke or insult that emasculates another man. That is an insult normalized by the feminine society we have grown accustomed to today. We are men, we should fight with logic and direct conversation, not minced words and covert insults.

I remember reading that not too long ago, and I had forgotten. About the challenge system. So while pitch framing might lose it's value, it's still going to carry some.

Clocked with a 1.72 pop time. That would put him #1 in the majors this year....in front of J.T. Realmuto. If this dude can hit and throw runners out he is going to be a complete stud. There's also a very real chance there are robot umps in a few years, meaning having a catcher that can hit and throw runners out is going to be even more valuable. Aside from blocking skills, framing will be a lost skill with little meaning in that era.
