  1. The benefit (and downside) of age is that with time comes acceptance. Sometimes just having a game to turn into is enough to care, and if it becomes more than not, cool, if not, it was enough to just live it. These guys have played like bums most of my damn life, but for now they are playing pretty decent baseball, regardless of what happened three weeks ago or 15 year ago or hell, next week.
  2. If we're going to keep winning 2/3 and turn this thing around we're certainly going to need Moncada, Vaughn and TA to produce like 3-5 WAR players. Tonight they did that. I don't know if that's what the back of their baseball card would project right now, but it's certainly what they are capable of if they can recognize what works for them as hitters. Moncada needs to stay aggressive, swing the bat and not always go so deep into counts. Vaughn needs to keep his hands under the ball and elevate. TA needs to pull the ball.
  3. For a day at least, the Sox played like a really good team. Hit the s%*# out of the ball and easily papered over some defensive and pitching issues.
  4. Joey Wentz comes in with a 7.14 era, coming off TJS, he'll probably dominate us.
  5. I know, I just pulled up a stream. I'm bored AF at work that's my excuse. Everybody else has long ago packed it up for the long weekend meanwhile I'm here finishing s%*# up for another couple hours.
  6. I watched some Japanese WBC team montages last night. This guy can mash, does he have a position tho?
  7. Getting blown out in the 1st game of a must take 3 series. Nice.
  8. It takes a special kind of incompetence to draft top 5 in back to back years and manage to dig up two below replacement level players.
  9. Eh, I'm inclined to believe there are cases where you are correct about racism impacting fans' impressions of a player. I do not think TA is a example of it. We'll have to agree to disagree.
  10. Holy s%*# that loop in Vaughn's load mechanism. That wasn't there two years ago.
  11. Grifol has managed to combine the worst elements of TLR and Renteria's bullpen management. What a fucking joke. Now we are burning through relievers in a game that is almost certainly over after trying to stupidly squeeze 5 innings out of our starter who obviously didn't have it.
