Comparing a scandal from literally over 100 years ago to a scandal from last year is just a tad dubious. Just a tad.

You use your brain, and it makes you just assume? Yikes.

You just compared Hinch to the best coach in football's history. Belichick also wasn't a part of the biggest cheating scandal in the sport in decades.

I don't cheer for Dallas either. Fuck em both.

If they hire Hinch, they don't have any integrity.

Sox fans: Jerry's stupid loyalty to former players is hurting the team. Also Sox fans: Hire every ex player/coach that has a history with the franchise.

LOL

I thought it was always obvious Renteria was a transitional manager that they'd get rid of when the team was ready. Good with kids. Good in the clubhouse. Not the type of guy you're going to hang on to. Not shocking in the slightest.

At the risk of getting real old man (41), the way pitching is trending is penny short, pound foolish. Too much leverage on every pitch, too many sessions, too many short sessions, too many specialized roles. They're ruining these kid's arms. If it continues to trend this way, you're going to have a lot of scenarios like the NFL has with running backs where you hope to get a couple really good years out of them before they're ruined. Football can't help it because the human body can't keep up with PEDs. Each impact is too great. Baseball is doing it by choice because they're not thinking long term.

The shortened season is a terrible way to evaluate young pitchers imo. Every pitch is amplified and it's hard to find any kind of rhythm. For a kid like Cease, who struggles with command, it's a nightmare scenario if he starts poorly. I've been a broken record, but I hate everything about this season, especially for us.

He's objectively a good coach with a nice resume. Sox fans don't like him because he's not going to kiss their ass and he isn't afraid to tell them to shut up.

A few times a year I like to remind myself why I don't follow game threads.

For a game that's designed around being a marathon, it's amazing how little patience baseball fans have now. It has to be a generational thing.

The actual greatest defensive player of all time, Omar Vizquel, never turned more than 108. I'm not sure what that says. ?

Is this the most transparent thread in Soxtalk history? At least Puigmania wasn't on the main board.

The public has no interest in baseball players. Jeter is probably the last celebrity baseball player, possibly ever.

Ozzie's best attribute as manager was lucking into Politte, Cotts, Hermanson and Contreras having career years at the same time. Edit And Garland

Yoan is a pretty easy pick imo. The versatility is hard to beat. He's does everything well and his walks will boom as he ages l.

I said it's everyone's fault. The fans have a voice just like the players and owners. Everyone who didn't speak up.

I swear to fuckin god if we trade any real prospects for this fake season, or if Cease and Gio go down... Sorry to kill the vibe. You guys have fun.

I seem real fuckin happy, right? Jesus.

My posts seem to be getting a lot of traction. But sure, kick a poster off that's been here for 15 years because you know I'm right.

I thought you were sterile? I'm in though.

Maybe if more fans would have spoken up and refused to buy the product, MLB wouldn't have been so greedy.
