Middle Buffalo

Sounds like they’re yelling “sell the team!” I assume it’s both fan bases in stereo.

Terrible trade deadline for Getz. I feel sorry for Crochet and Robert getting stuck with the Sox. They deserve an opportunity to play on good teams. I somewhat understand not trading Crochet since his performance value is offset by the likelihood he’ll not be available much near the end of the season due to innings restrictions. Trade partners would have lowballed to Sox. I imagine Robert is trying to figure out how to go back to Cuba.

Sure, it was a Draft Kings lottery ticket, but I placed a World Series bet on the Sox before the 2023 season. True story. I didn’t actually think it would happen, but I figured it was worth a few bucks, and, hey, you never know. One season later there’s a very real possibility we’ll lose 120 games. Unbelievable.

Don’t forget, Terry Bevington was a catcher, too.

Yep. If this happens, I just become a baseball fan. I won’t care about any team in particular. I’ll watch the playoffs and maybe take in an occasional spring training game, but I won’t have to waste time caring about a team that’s never cared about me as a fan.

54 games remain. If the Sox play .500 ball the rest of the way, they lose 108 games. It’s almost too hard to wrap my head around their ineptitude, but I’ve had the misfortune of watching parts of too many games this year. So, I’m comfortable saying they stink.

And what, good sir, are the Sox good at?

I never understood why the in-game chat between the announcers and Ozzie/Chuck was always muted. I assumed it was an MLB.tv decision. Of course it was just the Sox being the Sox with another fan friendly decision.

Evergreen thread.

How do they not PR for Eloy?

The Condor seems familiar, but still not great. I feel like Conductor is a typo for Condor. I doubt anyone would call home either.

MLB lists Sale’s nickname as “The Conductor.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard that. Edward Scissorhands would be more appropriate.

I think they’re too hot, and JR told Pedro to shut this sh*t down.

Agree. If our record was reversed 48-16, I don’t think anyone would have a problem with SSSU.I Corny - but most/all announcer catchphrases kinda are. Im on record as not having a major issue with this guy, but he is definitely over the top about some pretty inane stuff.. I was watching the AKC Agility Challenge this morning, and if the Sox gig doesn’t work out, it would be a perfect landing spot for Schriffen.

This team is all kinds of special. Remillard thrown out by at 3rd followed by Pham getting chesty on a play he had no business making. The “ex-Cub” being involved only adds salt to the wound. Can’t let that happen.
