Team USA 2020 Olympics team has 2 Sox prospects
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to CaliSoxFanViaSWside's topic in FutureSox Board
USA got help from 2 other teams today that they needed to stay alive. They will play Mexico tomorrow for a shot an at Olympic bid -
With the episode schedule, and the 2nd to last episode coming out on a Wednesday, the day before the new movie comes out, I have to imagine the show will tie in to The Rise Of Skywalker. Maybe eventually getting to how the Emperor comes back to life.
-
I found episode 2 to be boring. With only 8 episodes this season, and apparently only 30 minutes long, they really need to pick it up. They are definitely going for the Star Wars Wild West theme here, which I'm good with, but I swear I thought I heard him actually cock his blaster.
-
That's awesome man.
-
Totally.
-
If they are all quality hitters, I absolutely don't care. Of course I would *prefer* a lefty, but it's not going to make me cross a meaningful upgrade off my list.
-
If I could have gotten a Tesla for free, I would have. That being said, the internet came through with perfect quality rips of the show.
-
The Mandalorian is now out. I'm trying to figure out a way to watch it, other than just waiting for some sketchy website to upload a ripped copy online.
-
I struggled to see why we should skip out on a very good hitter because of his handedness. He plays RF, albeit not very good. But then again, neither does Castellanos and people seem to like him enough.
-
Great, that doesn't change my point even one iota. Now if I had said that Hahn would be the best GM in baseball if he had a larger payroll to deal with, then sure, what you said would be considered a counter-point.
-
I like the idea of getting Trey Mancini for the Orioles. Hunter Renfroe from the Padres since he's got a big time bat, and is apparently a good defensive RF with a big arm.
-
Yes, and I think he would thrive under an owner committed to winning with every dollar he can reasonably spend.
-
And the roadtrips we've taken, both short (Indy) and far (Nashville, then Charlotte) have all been covered by the supercharing network as well. I had to use my first non-Tesla charger on Sunday down in Greencastle Indiana, and it too was free.
-
The Tesla Supercharger I pass on my way to and from work. I stop by once a week and charge for about 35 minutes or so while I watch I watch Netflix on the center screen.

Doing some rough math..... I have driven 5,700 miles so far in my EV since getting it a little over 4 months ago. Assuming I was still driving my old ICE car, which let's say got about 25 MPG (Which I'm guessing it did not because of an issue it had that directly affects MPG efficiency), and let's say the average gas price this fall has been $2.40. That means 5700 miles divided by 25 MPG is 228 gallons of gas used. 228 gallons multiplied by $2.40 per gallon equals about $550. I have spent $0 to charge my car. So I've saved about $550 so far to run my EV, on pace for about $1500 over the course of a year. Obviously the upfront cost to own is big, but once you start factoring in no oil changes, no brake pad replacements, and hardly any maintenance at all, the cost of ownership is very good when compared to ICE luxury cars.

Grandal - Early Off-Season Speculation
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to SonofaRoache's topic in Pale Hose Talk
What does that matter? He would be the same age in 2020, whether we signed him in 2020 or back in 2019. Except we now have our 2nd RD pick RHP Matthew Thompson in our system, whom we would have had to forfeit the right to draft in 2019 if we signed Grandal last year. If the Sox sign Grandal this off-season, that would be the best case scenario we could have had with him. -
Eloy snubbed for ROY final 3...
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to RudyLawRules's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Hard to be upset that Eloy doesn't get the chance to lose a unanimous vote to Alvarez. Finish 4th, finish 2nd, I'm not upset. -
Sox issue qualifying offer to Abreu
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to ChiSoxFanMike's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Also, him accepting this QO would be perfect. $17.8M may be a tad more than he deserves, but it gets us out of having to pay him for 2-3 years, gives a perfect segway to Andrew Vaughn, and the cost is prohibitive to nothing for 2020. -
Sox issue qualifying offer to Abreu
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to ChiSoxFanMike's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I think Abreu either plays for us, or he plays for the Rockies. -
The Sox need to be done worrying about draft picks, especially since it's now only a 2nd RD pick for them.
-
I want to say he had 3 errors in one game at one point in April. Dropped every line drive hit to him. EDIT: Technically he did not. He had 3 errors in the first 5 games of the year, but maybe I'm conflating errors with misplaying some balls.
-
Sure, I just find out what "Intimidators" was a reference to, and then they change it on me? I guess in a handful of years I'll find out why they picked "Cannon ballers"
-
Absolutely not.
-
Trade him while his value is high!
-
And possibly because of the rumor that they thought due to Alek's dad being Allen, he was likely far more physically mature than his counterparts and may have maxed out his strength and frame earlier than those others that had much more projection in their frame.
