  1. He'd have to be the next Mark Buehrle. That is what his velo is like.
  2. I vehemently disagree. TFA was the biggest movie letdown of my life. I thought it was exponentially worse than even the Phantom Menace. They're two movies in and there is still no fucking character development from Rey and Finn. You have no idea what or who either of them are, how Rey became Force-aware, etc. Kylo Ren is also a horrible villain and only Adam Driver's acting saves his character from being a complete fucking disaster. Anakin is a much better villain and they just chose the wrong guy( Christensen is a bad actor) to play him. The writing, story and plot in the prequels are infinitely better than the sequels, and the sequels just seem like action movies on the Star Wars universe with no rhyme or reason about anything.
  3. I'm with you Harper, no matter what happens, they should trade Colome, Abreu, and if Herrera regains his value, him too.
  4. The Star Wars prequels aren't great, but they've aged well. They're average. TFA and TLJ were exponentially worse than any of the Lucas prequels. However, Rogue One and Solo blow away the main story sequels away. I re-watched the prequels and they're not as bad as most think. I despise Episode VII and VIII That being said about GOT, I've only recently gotten into it, but Cersei and Jamie's death was unsatisfying to say the least. I understand Dany's path because she's lost everything. What does she left? Nothing. It's a classic revenge story.
  5. He includes the 20 games with Boston because it fits his argument. You exclude it because it fits yours. I think we can have a better discussion about him around MLB draft time. If it were me, I'd only look at his 2018 and 2019. What he did as a greenhorn player in 2016 and 2017 is irrelevant, IMO.
  6. I think Abrams, if he were to develop properly, could be a Trea Turner type player.
  7. Sale was a polarizing prospect. MLB pipeline had him mocked 4th overall that year. It depended on who you spoke to.
  8. And he's not, and that is concerning, to say the least. None of their own amateur players that they've scouted and signed have done jack shit. Anderson and Sale are more of the Blind squirrel/nut variety. Collins looks the best out of all of those guys, and I'm not a huge fan of him, to say the least. I think Collins would look a lot like 2019 Alonso at the MLB level. Lots of walks, lots of Ks, the occasional dinger, and a BA south of Mendoza.
  9. Moncada's early season adjustments are being used against him right now. If he was using Last year's approach he's be on a hot streak. It's obvious. They're pitching him just off the edges of the zone/ and throwing changeups for strikes early in the count. and he's swinging at pitches he wouldn't have last year. He has to only be aggressive on meatballs right now and go back to last year's approach. If he can change his approach based once they identify how people are trying to get him out at a given time period, he's going to explode. This isn't his job, it is the Sox advance scouts job to feed him the info. They've been doing it for weeks. This is what I'm talking about when I say that they're not giving their hitters the tools they need to be successful.
  10. You can tell what my mood is that day based on my posts. If you lived my life you'd understand.
  11. Nope. That would be Lopez. Giolito is going to be a #2/3 pending Cease(IMO)
  12. If you would've asked me who was going to have the better outing after the 1st inning, I would have said Sanchez unquestionably.
  13. ^^^ I thought that guy in red Jays jersey was gonna get arrested. I was under the impression that there was a zero tolerance policy.
  14. I can't believe they called him out. They missed him.
  15. No, Moncada was signed by Ben Cherington. Keep impressing us with your baseball ignorance.
  16. And I think that it is kind of obvious that Giolito has C-/D+ stuff today. I hope he doesn't get torched.
  17. I know. He's been bad to start. He's showing signs of getting it together though.
