It’s the best $130 bucks you can spend. No brainer every year

Awesome.

Cease throws 99 so effortlessly

Agreed. But by the end of the year or early next year is fine

Good stuff!

We took your heart (Lester) We took your brain (Hendricks) Tomorrow, we’re taking your strength. RIP Cubs, forever.

Man. He’s doing pretty well considering Mazara, EE, Engel & Mendick Have to get tons of playing time for different reasons.

Me too. I like McCann’s approach against Darvish too

The way McCann easily shoots balls to right and right center when he has 2 strikes is definitely a skill he couldn’t have had when he sucked. It’s something only elite hitters do

It’s absolutely incredible the mass of young talent the Sox have assembled. The bullpen arms are just incredible assets and there are more on the way. So glad we don’t have to shell out 30-50 million for a Kimbrel-type guy and STILL be super thin in the bullpen. For all the shit the Sox have rightfully gotten for being behind the times, they have lapped the field in developing bullpen guys. They saw it coming and acted on it years ago, with 2020 as a target in mind.

This mess is definitely all Ricky’s fault.

Politics?

He’s really our smartest hitter. Those singles to right and right center are pure skill. He can do that at will. Similar to Paulie’s run as the professor

Curious where you draw the line. Is it an actual slur that makes it a fireable offense? What if you just say something racist or offensive without the hard slur? What is the standard for being fired if you’re in the public eye?

Found them, thanks. Yea it starts getting good on 17. Gotta get the lead-in with the missile at him

What page of the thread can I find the Ricky meltdowns for leaving Dunning in “waaay too long“

I see that too. I don’t think Ricky makes the best decisions always but he’s got his guys’ backs. And ultimately we have 13 good moments and 11 bad moments currently ?

It’s amazing how any controversial happening or loss is a total indictment of Ricky, but any wins or personal growth people STFU or fish around for ways it happened DESPITE Ricky. Let the hate flow through you!

That Burdi changeup tho

Lol. Go easy on him- he’s in sports journalism for a living. That’s rough.

Perfectly managed with Cease. Nice job RR- big confidence-booster game!

It’s just not something to get worked up about. Both sides have a valid point, and that’s that. Now here’s to hoping Tim bat-flips the eff outa Skubal tonight

It’s been 20 games of a half-rookie roster. Jesus

Yep. I wish his job was to see 10 pitches leading off every game. And all that pissing off the starters is going to get him on base an extra 10 times a year from just getting plunked. He’s the right guy to get the most ABs IMO

Tim worked Boyd like a puppet. That was one of the coolest lead off ABs I’ve ever seen. I don’t think Robert can do that yet- he needs to see all the pitchers for a couple years and learn
