  1. Fundaments are obviously not taught, Ramos had no reason to look the runner at second back with two outs, just throw the ball to 1B
  2. Pedro Grifol, who seems a lot more comfortable in his second year as the South Side skipper, has been talking up his vision for how he wants his team to play for months. He gave it a name early on in spring training, instructing his players to “play F.A.S.T.”, it’s an acronym that stands for fearless, aggressive, selfless and technically sound. So we put a DH in RF who's none of the above.
  3. They have to rid themselves of Sheets, Eloy or Vaughn. Pick one, I don't really care.
  4. Way to extend the inning and the pitch count by playing a DH/1B in the outfield, when are we going to learn.
  5. BTW.......Earlier in December 2021, the A's had submitted a bid to acquire the Tropicana site and redevelop it into a ballpark prior to the Bally's acquisition. MLB, in reaction to the A's interest in Nevada, decided to remove a relocation fee for the team in the event that they move to Las Vegas. Never say never, when it comes to the Sox relocating based on an expansion or relocating fee.
  6. I hope your right, I really do! Thanks for the inside information.
  7. Yes, I've heard the reasons from you over and over, but time will tell, you certainly can't predict the future. If you believe you can, let me know the winning lottery numbers tomorrow.
  8. JR had plenty of opportunity to feel embarrassed over the the last 35 years and not much has changed with the way he runs the Sox. If they crater and the fans stay away (like I have last year and this year) after dropping my 20 game plan then JR will just use that as his excuse to move the team. Just like he's going to use an excuse when the state doesn't pony up for a new stadium. He's clawing his way out of the city so he can move to Nashville, and as Hawk would say "you can put it on the board"
  9. They weren't rules and I also mentioned boycotting the stadium and JR, but I'll stand by my statement that I don't want them to end up with the worst record in MLB history. It makes no sense since it's not going to get JR to change his ways, that won't happen until he's no longer the owner. But if you want more misery just so you can complain about it on Sox Talk than have it your way. I hope you don't enjoy yourself too much because the last 4 games against the division leading Cleveland was fun to watch until Sunday.
  10. KW was retiring anyway and if he let KW go JR had to let Hahn go, it was just a PR move to get JR some attention so he could pretend like he really cares about winning. If he really cared he wouldn't have hired a GM and manager with zero experience. Remember when he said hiring Getz was the fastest way to turn this around....well how did that work out for us?
  11. If you're a true fan, it's never entertaining to watch your team lose. We may boycott the stadium and JR but to wish for the Sox to lose the most games in MLB history, is what I would call a traitor or a Cub fan.....take your pick.
  12. Luis Arráez is a career .324 hitter and Kwan is a .294 career hitter, so what are you trying to say that Nicky Lopez is better than both of them?
  13. It's about time they learned to pitch around him 6 years later after getting burned game after game after game............
  14. Post game show was talking about how Ramos was practicing sidearming his throws (like Moncada) instead of always throwing over the top. Shows the kid listens to instruction and wants to improve. He will only get better the more time he get's at 3B. Chuck brought up wether the Sox will keep him on the MLB roster when Moncada comes up and Pods said a decision will have to be made sooner when Mendicks ready. Ozzie brushed that off saying "If we're worrying about when Mendick will come back we're in trouble". Gotta love Ozzie!
  15. Pods, Chuck, and Ozzie thought he should be mad, listening to Clevinger now and it didn't seem to bother him
  16. If your taking about "SS Stand Up", some people have to pick on every thing. It's his signature call, give him a break Jeez you should be happy we beat Cleveland instead of commenting on the announcers call.
  17. Ramos just has a presence and is excited to play and especially bat, compared to Moncada it's night and day as far as energy.
