And i'm not even a big managers-matter guy, but that jump would happen with Venable, Fuller, Bannister all being elite. And our free agency will have to shift, regardless of how much we spend, from the Hahn era (get what we can) to -- i'm hoping -- a new era of getting what we Need

we have to just enjoy this for what it is. hope for +20 this year and then somehow some way, another 20 the next year

paradox: my antenna wont work now, but it is now Watchable Baseball

Glad we have Luis Though im currently selling his bobblehead

get him craig counsell as a personal hitting guru

good job by The American Hendriks

did you watch the play?

whats the ideal Taylor time

Here's what i want to see: Dont hold his use for saves. Dont be Tony L. Use him in big moments and let him gain experience on all situations, because closer is not a position, and the depth of the various situations are what matter in the end And, maybe moreso next year-- use him like Oakland used Hendriks. Oakland ended up with a better record than the otherwise wouldve and that's because they used Hendriks multiple innings and put games away after 7. When the Sox got Hendriks it was like we kept him in a glass case for saves that never came. And what percent of our payroll was tied up in that

We can close the topic, as it was not Montgomery who was next, but rather it was Taylor

i like these guys, they come to the ballpark convinced they can win. theyre not good, but they are baseball i can watch for 162

Hilariously, Smith and Vasil are going to turn soxtalk into the biggest Rule 5 Draft fans of all time. we're unrealistically spoiled now on it

gimme a concrete donut stadium

the Fire getting a ballpark village, water taxis, surrounding buildings going up... i mean, that is not happening without the Sox. i've been to Fire games and it's amazing support from a dedicated fanbase but that aint no anchor tenant

lets say there were two stadiums at the 78-- can they both face the skyline? I think one would block the other, right? As parcel is longer north/south than it is east/west

Jerry expects Mansueto to set up the potable water at the 78, exterminate all vermin. Then once that is done, on Fire's dime, we will agree to move in

Reinstated

Palacios you are now out of baseball

Lenyn baby what?

he did blister one earlier that required a great CF route

aaron rowand is slowly transforming into a 90s wrestler. possibly bam bam bigelow

Fangraphs says Ramos has gold glove caliber defense potential fyi

ME [TO MY GRANDCHILDREN]: "Yes kids it's true, in-person i witnessed hall of famer Edgar Quero's first major league hit [voice lowers, lower than sounds made by ocean floor plankton] by pitch"

a sign of data being insurmountable in baseball.. Andrus had that great year with us, but the data never believed any of it, and he couldnt get a contract anywhere
