Snopek

Seems to me like he addressed it by admitting he was wrong, yet peeps are still piling on. Weird thread all around.

In the Bold Predictions thread when I said that Josh Harrison would be an all star, what I was really trying to say was Johnny Cueto would be our ace.

Eh, I don’t really get that from this. I think he was giving a very general response to a very general question. I suppose he could be dropping hints, but I think Stone’s subtleties are a little less subtle than this.

Don’t worry. They’ll take 3 of 4 from the Orioles next weekend and, watch out, the league is in trouble! Then they’ll go embarrass themselves on the west coast trip.

Yep. And as another poster above said, even if by some miracle they do finally get healthy, there’s no real evidence that they’re actually a great team.

So beating the Tigers didn’t magically make the team better huh

And somehow people will still utter the phrase “when we get healthy”

I mean, the answer is clearly themselves. But I'm also not gonna pretend that they're superior to the other teams until they can, you know, beat them.

One of the easiest players to root for in recent memory.

Glad it only took a third of the season for that to happen.

Naturally

If I were to make a list of regulars/key contributors that have NOT been on the IL yet this year, I think it goes something like: - Abreu - Cease The end. Anyone missing?

Admittedly I don’t know a ton about him, but I’ve seen Eduardo Perez’s name come up in general managerial candidate talk. Seems like he embraces the modern game.

Meaning they've gone 22-10 against the teams you didn't list, which presumably are the good teams (plus the Sox).

Don’t panic. Soon the schedule will work in our favor and we can stop playing juggernauts like the Rangers.

This team is an absolute circus

I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s just musical chairs with these injuries.

Your optimism is appreciated. However: - The Braves were in a much better position farm system wise to make those trades. I’m skeptical that the Sox will be able outbid other contenders for TDL acquisitions - The Braves turnaround was very much the exception to the rule. It did happen, so, sure, it’s possible for it to happen to the Sox. But the reason it’s referenced so much is because that sort of thing almost never happens - The Sox are currently 7-12 against teams in their weak division. Until they prove they can actually beat those weak teams, I’m kind of done with the easy division talk. It’s a weak division for teams like the Yankees and Astros, and the Sox are a reason why - As far as taking over the Twins without too much trouble: They’ve shown nothing that makes me believe this will happen. The Twins have also been hit hard by injuries and have done a much better job weathering the storm thus far - Ultimately, while I do agree the cream usually rises to the top over the course of 162 games, I have trouble making the case that the Sox are part of that cream

100%. TLR is atrocious, but JR is the real villain.

This team isn’t good enough to give away games to bad teams. But here we are, again and again and again.

Fire Tony

Jerry awake doesn’t care either

And somehow there are still people expecting the team to be completely healthy at some point. Edit: Left out the most important word.

Two sensible lineups in a row.
