Not the OP intent, but the promotion of a top prospect makes me want to attend their first major league game with the Sox.

Rick's schtick is so predictable at this point, literally any one of us could have written his speech and no one would've noticed a difference.

I have a trip to Philly this weekend, bought tickets a couple months ago to see the Phillies host the Nats with Harper vs. Soto. That didn't work out as planned.

It's not real until Portillo's says it is, mags, we all know that.

For those that didn't see what Bad Hombre is referencing, this is from a few days ago. But this could be real, who knows! Damnit, Tom.

Honestly, this is kind of my hope given my fear that they'll sell the farm and screw it up anyway. Just play this out and wait until the off-season when TLR walks away, we get a real manager, and make the moves necessary to fix this.

Seat, meet table.

"Change the channel" is more fitting these days.

Joey Gallo, 2019: .253, 22 HR, .986 OPS Nomar Mazara, 2019: .268, 19 HR, .786 OPS I don't know what was the in the water in Texas in 2019 but these guys have both cratered since then. We've been down this road before with Mazara, no need to repeat ourselves.

Brb, starting a GoFundMe for tickets you.

"all-in on returning to the playoffs" - who wrote this? This sounds like a line spoonfed by Hahn to a gullible writer that doesn't do any due diligence to look any of the recent moves this organization has made.

I kind of expected Lance Lynn to be this guy already with his "go pack a lunch" attitude and innings dependability. Between Gio telling guys to get out of their own heads and Lynn & Cueto telling them to just take the damn mound and chuck, I'd hope they're able to impart that same lesson as veteran leaders.

Bump, for those watching the game

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Very interested to see the starting lineup and whether Robert is in or not. Haven't heard much on him, and this could be much ado about anything or it could be a big something.

Also given that Kopech will need more rest in the second half if we have any hope of using him in October.

My favorite part is that no one commented something like "well sure the Nats WANT all of these things, but no one will be willing to OFFER all of that", instead they just all jumped in and offered their entire teams as tribute.

Wait until you see the replies from other teams in response to this tweet:

Imagine being a Nats fan and getting two catchers in return for Soto.

Anyone have a comparison on the number of HRs we've hit in this recent hot stretch vs. however many games it took to hit that many before this stretch? Kind of feel like Eloy came back and was like "guys, screw grounders, just hit dingers" and everyone gave Menechino the bird. But this is just the narrative I choose to believe.

I feel like the thread title is misleading, no? A "no comment" when asked about a manager's job sounds way different than the actual report that was included in the article and subsequent tweets that Tony will be around for at least this year, possibly next.

First thing I thought of when seeing this was "teach your kids to be multi sport athletes as those skills will transfer". I feel like this is where his basketball background/training comes in with his "explosiveness", to steal a word from basketball folk.
