46DidIt

Saying you shouldn’t use social media because there are people who post bad content is like saying people shouldn’t use paper because paper has been used to print bad material. If forms of communication were eliminated because people used them to broadcast lies, there would be literally none left

How you figure that

It’s one thing to be aggressive, and an entirely different thing to be consistently fooled and chasing unhittable pitches. Dude evidently has close to zero pitch recognition skills

Makes sense to me. If pitchers can count on a batter swinging at sliders a foot off the plate, the batter is going to have a tough time

When they picked Harold, 1977

Stone Pony seems like the type that could live to 102

I have a feeling the Sox might pull this one out. Angels have the kind of lineup Martin can shut down

Go Tigers

I would think the quality of a hiring would be determined by the merits of the individual that was hired rather than the person who made the hire

Do I really have to??

Dude, Quero and Lee are our catchers for the next 5+ years, I don’t see why you can’t accept that

I just mean in general. ‘This player is bound to produce better results in your quality organization, as his performance here was effected by our toxic environment and general incompetence”

I hope Getz is using that as a selling point in trade negotiations.

You think Sox fandom agrees that as long as JR is in charge the Sox will compete?? JR must’ve paid Hawk a s%*# ton over the years for him to still throw that kind of cockamamie BS out there on his behalf

False dichotomy

And he wasn’t exactly a stud last year until upon leaving the sox, either. In fact I recall him being quite shitty the first couple months of the season, which seemed largely attributable to horrible pitch calling

A stud middle reliever when he had ace potential that was largely untapped for seven years, whereas an actual quality organization magically converted him overnight

Just look at Reynaldo and Kopech

And still no Ramos?? What the H. This is some meet the new boss same as the old boss s%*#

Say what you will about redneck music. I contend this s%*# will sound good to any man after the better part of a dozen natural lights and a pint of peppermint schnapps. I thought I’d leave it for anyone watching the sox to enjoy:

Or spell Miguel correctly

So on 9/1, he struck out 8 in 3.1 on a dead arm? That’s pretty impressive

I posted about this before, but going through the ‘62 Mets season made Richie Ashburn retire despite being perfectly healthy coming off a season in which he hit. 306 with a .424 OBP and only 425 hits away from 3000 at age 35. At that point, he was no HOF shoo in but 3000 would have made him one. If that can have that kind of effect on a seasoned vet, not hard to imagine that going into this clubhouse, when Vargas was probably on some sort of cloud 9 as a young Dodger, probably did f*** his head up. Getting your feet swept out from under you like that could literally lead to a depression spell. Conversely, it was probably like getting called up to the bigs for the first time for Kopech. Hopefully Vargas can regroup in the offseason
