Stinky Stanky

Eye of the beholder, I guess. Those constant attempts at high wit you call banter drive me nuts. Stone's irritating, but I learned a lot of baseball from him so I'll give him a pass.

He wasn't a $15M closer, far from it. Learnt the cutter from Mariano, supposedly, but his best pitch for us was the curve. He was OK, but not for $15M.

Politte. On Hendriks, the slider is the key. He can't get by on 98 with no movement alone.

I remember some nuns showing me to a space in a lot they ran near the ballpark, maybe 20 years ago, but I couldn't find it today on a bet. I've been there since the rebuild, but parked remotely.

Hail Cease(r).

Bevington had more life than Lamont. Just sayin'.

Credit to Chris Bosio for Arrieta, but Bosio is out of baseball for possibly having made a racist remark. One great pitching coach, but too radioactive to handle in today's world.

He's got the stuff that Aces are made of. He needs to be coached up right. If anyone thinks our pitching coach is a miracle worker (not I) here's his chance to prove it.

Not really a test if he can't get a breaking pitch near the strike zone. But he's fixable. Katz is the guru, so hope he does his stuff.

Landed with his heel on top of the bag and his toes on the ground. He never learned that the fastest and safest way to first is to land on the front part of the bag. He's still my favorite Sox of the moment and it could have been worse than 6-8 weeks.

Thirty pounds overweight adds to the problem.

May wanna forfeit a game to avoid a sweep.

But, but, but, if Hahn didn't double down, it would mean that he mucked up in the first place and GM's don't ever do that, well hardly ever.

Specifically, The Mailman and Kareem.

Room to grow on offense and time to do it. But that doesn't help our guys this year. He does look lean and fit.

You nailed the root of his offensive problems. It's only a drop from 34.7 to 30.4 on 3's, but it sure seems worse. I cringe when he looks like he's going to launch one.

That would be admitting their first big move was a flop. Betcha they do it anyway. Unless he's up against a midget, he gets dominated.

Watched two NBA games with Doris Burke and Hubie as analysts today. My advice to both of them: Shut up once in a while. But they were good games.

Far right, anti-vaxxer, got COVID last year (duh). Stuff's prolly still ravaging her brain.

He'll join an existing culture with strong leadership who will take him by the hand (figuratively) and point him in the right direction. Or drive him to O'Hare if he biffs up.

Coby being the only scorer on the 2nd unit, you have to keep one of the big two out there with them. But Coach does that anyway.

Can't blame the last coach for trying to make him a PG when there were no other options available. Now we're swimming in PG's. The coach was prolly acting at management's orders anyway. Coby's become better at it over the course of his career.

Or worse. Knees.

Trading Vuc now would be management admitting they made a huge mistake; something that management almost never does, according to Stanky's Theory of Human Resources. Either way, they need some rim protection, preferably the kind that can shoot a 3 once in a while.

Wendell's a different guy when he's not playing out of position like he did here. Needs some 3 point work if he's gonna be a 2022 NBA 4.
