Watch it not matter against the Sox. He will be back to being an ace tomorrow.

Well, it sure appears that you put your trust in the wrong staff, sorry to say.

Yep, JR running his team like Circuit City while all the other teams are Best Buy’s.

Missing injuries and saving money on callups by not sending guys to the IL. What an absolute joke of a team.

That video is absolutely amazing and I almost spit out my beer twice with the inclusion of a picture of the Campfire Milkshake and Maldonado’s headshot. This guy has to be a poster on this site. 🤣 They face the Orioles and Corbin Burnes tomorrow. Chalk up #108!

How does this even get missed with how X-rays, MRI’s, and CT scans are done for almost anything and everything, even for high school athletes? This is a major league team (well, not really). Amazing.

Never give this stupid organization the benefit of the doubt. You can almost always assume they fucked up.

Terrible trades and signings. He basically destroyed the success of his one really good signing (Fedde) with the garbage return he got for him. Truly amazing that Vargas was their target. He had already shown nothing in 424 plate appearances with the Dodgers and I have no idea why they would want a guy with a poor glove as well. What in the hell did Tosar and Getz see in this guy? That’s his second major failed player acquisition after Fletcher.

“I DID THAT!”

Would that be another shutout?

You know this isn’t happening. Getz will be doing some more failed dumpster diving as they drop the payroll to $100 million to be a bottom 5 payroll team.

Watch. He will now go the way of Bummer and Chavez and be productive for them.

His backstory is insane. He may have been high when that ball bounced off of his head… https://www.blessyouboys.com/2018/2/15/17016852/detroit-tigers-history-ron-leflore-former-all-star

Sure, he roped Getz into acquiring worthless Vargas. But Tosar is gone now so Getz will have to eat the blame at this point. Former director of player development… what a joke.

Instagram hootchies are calling his name…

So who gets the blame for the lack of hitting development then?

He was before my time but I actually remember his name. He actually wasn’t a bad player in his earlier years for Detroit. He was good earlier in his career but he was done by the time the Sox acquired him. But he was damn sure no where near as good as Lemon.

Also crazy that his teammate interjected about getting something for him. That would never happen nowadays. Back when it was only about winning. Bull didn’t care about Chet earning his living apparently.

@Lip Man 1, fucking absolute amazing stuff here and you basically answered my question with a copy and paste from your own archives. Please never disappear from this site cuz we will miss your historical advantages that none of us have. It’s still just absolutely amazing how Chet Lemon was a sabrmetrics superstar before anyone knew WTF that even meant! What a fvcking stud!

Even more ironic and hilarious, both Chet Lemon and Steve Kemp finished their careers with the exact same OPS — .797. Except Lemon was a stud defensive CF and Kemp played LF. Also… Career WAR Chet Lemon: 55.7 Steve Kemp: 19.5 Oops…

Awful. He hit 17 with the Sox and later hit 17+ in 6 seasons with the Tigers, with his single season high being 24 homers. Meanwhile, Steve Kemp topped off at 26 homers in one season and played left field? 😩 Analytics definitely weren’t a big thing back then because they would have said that along with his gold glove defense in CF (how did he never win one?), he was likely among the most valuable players in baseball, and he was still young at only 26. So brutal… He was basically a way better Mike Cameron.

Since this era of baseball was before my time, may I ask why in the holy fuckballs the Sox traded a 26-year old, .874 OPS, two time All-Star (at that point) center fielder for anyone, much less Steve Kemp?

I laughed…
