This reminds me of the Javy Vazquez discourse.

I thought they had fucked him up forever, I'm talking about back in 2020-21. Hahn completely mismanaged Crochet. Also, I'm not sure he'd be this good without the cutter he added this year.

Robert had a ridiculously low BABIP a week or two ago. Was under .200 This is just normalization.

If Carlos Rodon did it after his littany of injuries, I don't see why Crochet can't too.

We were telling everyone.

Crochet could be a complete unicorn, a true ace free at 27. Probably the biggest FA contract for a pitcher ever. It is what it is.

Gotta pay for Benintendi somehow /JR

FU to Rick and Jerry.

This is exactly why I was pounding the table for him in 2020 and i was excited af that he fell to them. If not for Covid he might have been a 1-1 candidate. It's really a shame that injuries and Hahn screwed this up, and he will be spending the majority of his career on another team. Sox gonna Sox. Rick Hahn squandered an ace. It's also very clear he's a better starter than reliever.

What the hell happened to Iriarte? He was so good to start the season and then the wheels just came completely off in June.

He has to keep it up the rest of the season to avoid being non-tendered, imo.

BTW, the one year he had control(2017) I thought Alec Hansen was probably going to be the best pitcher of the group. Unfortunately in 2018 he got injured in Spring Training and lost it again forever.

Lopez/Giolito/Kopech/Cease all had higher ceilings as prospects than the majority of the guys they have now.

Because sports fandom is a damn addiction. You can't turn away, even though you want to. I said I was going to quit this year but here I am.

I joined in 2005 under the name southsida86 after getting a 30 day ban from WSI. WSI still kinda exists, as far as I know.

Cue the Obi Wan Kenobi meme

If someone is looking for positives with Montgomery, please let me know. Trying not to be negative nancy anymore.

Thorpe seems like one of those guys that will have mostly good starts and a few where he'll get absolutely lit up, and that is if everything goes right. A right handed Buehrle. (obviously not as many innings) EDIT: Spoke too soon.

The injury that Montgomery had. Its just possible that he isn't the same. I don't know if Montgomery is a speedster but given he's a corner OF I assume not

Montgomery gives me Jared Mitchell flashbacks. No thanks. And I think that Mitchell would have been solid if not for his injury.

My feed was sucking on mlb tv so i turned it off. this is not funny

watching the Barons again

If you want feel free to DM me. I'm 37 and have been out since late 2022. There's a reason people in their late 30s and 40s waited, but I don't want to put it out there outside of trans spaces. Since you have a trans sister, I will explain to you why I waited if you want to know.

Yeah, they were good. We took public transit.

Yeah, I was asking because I was wondering if I was nuts to continue believing in him.
