The Orioles offense started tanking in the second half of last year when he was still there.

The guy the Orioles fired will fix him.

Always bat the last player on your roster leadoff. Venable is definitely more likable than Grifol, but his lineups are just as bad.

“Major League: Back to the Rebuild”

Hopefully he will get some time to train for his new career…

Nah, I’m good. I don’t need to cool down. Your response was vague. Thanks for clarifying.

This was a two second Google search… https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/03/09/mlb-stadium-rankings-baseball-30-ballparks-2024/72873951007/ https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/g39641978/top-major-league-baseball-stadiums-ranked/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mgu_ga_mnh_md_pmx_hybd_mix_us_17889802313&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17883554872&gbraid=0AAAAACrVUPmHVsawRHi9Ovp60sroHEcB-&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI89z0ur_9jAMVmBitBh2-NCM2EAAYASAAEgJpsPD_BwE

Can you custom order a “RENISDORF” jersey to express your displeasure for Jerry as the owner of two Chicago teams, since these look like a combination of Sox and Bulls?

Except for one self-appointed best Sox fan ever that loves Jerry and everything he has done with this organization.

Well, that’s probably accurate. It doesn’t make Romy a bum. It just makes him a bit too old for what is looking like will be a 5+ year Sox rebuild. I doubt Romy will still be a productive player into his mid 30’s. Unless you think the Sox rebuild will be shorter?

The disaster was drafting Madrigal in the first place.

I think the Sox realized they completely botched the scouting side of Madrigal and actually sold him high while they still could, moreso than clubhouse issues.

The Sox and Pirates are so bad, they could roster numerous failed prospects, regardless of options, and try to fix them during the season. Jones is already 27. He is no different than DeLoach, Fletcher, etc., an aging career minor leaguer and soon to be DFA material. The fact that Getz was willing to start the season with two Rule 5 players and also add a third shows what his priorities are. Even if Workman doesn’t gain the 3 options, it won’t matter much. He’s an aging middling prospect that needs to pan out sooner rather than later. Afterall, how excited are we about the several years of control Getz has over his last group of failed acquisitions like DeLoach and Fletcher? Years of control over crappy players doesn’t mean much. The more important and sad part of the story regarding Workman is that he could actually get real playing time at SS because our top SS prospect looks like he’s absolutely flopped in his second season at AAA. He’s the guy that truly needed to be fixed.

Jerry approves of this message.

Congrats to Getz for acquiring a CF in Greg Jones for the minors that can play in case Robert is traded and Taylor is injured. And he gets a B+ for this move? A dude that would likely strikeout in 50+ percent of his at bats in the majors in a full-time role. If the Sox ever need a CF that badly, there is always some bum available like Travis Jankowski who was probably traded to the Rays for a dollar.

You are sitting here talking about a guy Getz didn’t acquire when we are all watching the bums and busts that he actually DID acquire. The best hitter in the lineup was acquired by Hahn.

Let’s be honest. Maton sucks and should have never been in the position to get the majority of at bats at DH for any MLB team. Also, no other team wants him. The end. I didn’t need 250 words to tell the truth and neither should you. What grade does Getz get for acquiring Greg Jones instead of Canario then? 30 strikeouts in 62 at bats in AAA. That was a much better move.

Exactly, just like 40% strikeout rate Greg Jones. But of course you don’t see WE laughing about that acquisition. There’s a reason these guys are available.

The masterful WestEddy who can’t stop himself from misrepresenting and outright lying about what other posters have said about players. I always said Canario could easily suck and be a bust but I’d still rather play him over bad vet outfielders because at least Canario is 24 with power as a tool and could potentially have a future. Meanwhile, Getz didn’t choose Canario but he did choose Maton and Maton basically was the full-time DH while he was on the Sox. Maton and his .173/.295/.327/.622 line. He was just DFA’ed and no other team wanted him, just like the majority of Getz’s DFA’ed players. So does WestEddy question the great GM wizard Getz for this acquisition? No, instead he deflects on any criticism of our awful GM and posts some BS to dig at me. Makes sense… 🤡

Doesn’t Garfien shred the Sox a bit more on his podcast? He must be pretty confident that Jerry doesn’t listen to it.

If Elko was 21/22, I might be able to understand keeping him in the minors for another year. But the dude is turning 27 in December. There is no reason for him to not be given a shot.

Another player that no other MLB team wanted, and he was our primary DH.

Imagine intentionally paying to go see this team for numerous games over the past two seasons… Must be like those S&M dudes that pay a dominatrix to kick them in the balls repeatedly until they pass out from the pain.

Leasure couldn’t throw another perfect straight fastball down the cock of the plate again like this if he was aiming it there… https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2025/2025-04/27/f80fa9b9-09e1a83f-2871af0c-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4

I don’t see why not. They will have a roster crunch soon with Tauchman and Rojas and Elko isn’t getting any younger. You already know you aren’t bringing back Vaughn for next year with a bump to his $6 million salary.
