  1. I can understand if Jason wants to move on, but please don't replace him with Len. Hell, Len wanted to get off of TV
  2. Will be interesting to see how the WBC affects him
  3. I'm guessing the White Sox didn't have anything to do with it
  4. Well, I mean if it doesn't work it hurts him far more than anyone else with a contract coming up. I'm sure he's not making any changes lightly
  5. Really good article on the Athletic about Liam and the people he's reached out to since coming to town. https://theathletic.com/4082449/2023/01/13/liam-hendriks-cancer-lymphoma-charitable-work/ Without stealing too much from the article: He's been helping the community in a whole lot of ways.
  6. https://www.amazon.com/Damn-Near-Perfect-Game-Reclaiming/dp/1635768896
  7. There's some incentives, but he gave up a little guaranteed money
  8. Speaking purely out of my ass here, but I've read people on here talk about back surgery, and I've seen athletes talk about it, and it really seems like last resort and you don't want to do it unless its the last option.
  9. I don't need "subdued" for baseball though. He is good on baseball, though I agree he's best with a faster pace.
  10. To answer the original question, you roll into the season with Yas and Seby. With limited resources, I'd rather try to address 2B or the outfield.
  11. Again, I think he's fine. There is something for me - the fact that Jason's a Sox fan. It doesn't always make a difference, but I know he does actually care about the franchise. To that end, I've interacted with him twice, as well as knowing others that have, and he's truly a good dude. I do think he gets a little nerdy and weird at times, but my actual criticism with him is that he should work more on bringing things like new age stats and sabermetrics and be willing to present what he actually knows about baseball. He does dive into things like Baseball Savant and things like that - present more of that stuff in discussion to Stoney. He's very deferential to Steve and I understand why, but I do wish he'd actually present what he knows about baseball. I think it's much harder to be on radio than on TV, and he's still learning that. I've heard Jason do basketball on radio (NCAA Tournament) and he's very, very good at it.
  12. Oh, I'm aware. Just expressing frustration that I can't literally give them my money. I understand this is to protect RSN's like NBC Sports Chicago, but figure it out! Might even give you more money to watch MLB.tv premium! But without them figuring out a way where I can stream my favorite team without having to get something like Fubo....I don't want another streaming platform to watch the Sox. So until then I've got a buddys YTTV login.
  13. So, I never listened to Sox games with Rooney doing them, only Farmio and Kasper. Kasper is fine on radio for me, but I' a masochist and I miss Farmer and DJ and their weird ass chemistry. Watching Sox games in central Iowa since going to college in 2005 has been such an adventure. The cable provider in town has never carried whatever you called the channel the Sox were on, so the only times I got to watch for the longest time were WCIU games that were occasionally picked up in standard definition on sub channels of local channels. It wasn't until a couple years ago where I either logged in with a friends NBC Sports login or YouTube TV login that I've been able to watch most games. Where I live I'm unable to get DirecTV. The frustrating thing is I'm willing to pay for MLB.tv! If it wasn't blacked out I'd happily give them money! The long way of saying, make sure Jason and Steve are back.
  14. Kasper seems like a perfectly nice human being, but if he replaces Jason for 2023 I'll be hoping for more national games where I can listen to Adam Amin on FS1 or something like that.
  15. this deal probably isn't even worth having a thought about 99 times out of 100
  16. Greenburg is just some dude that paid eight bucks for a check mark
