I'm sorry bama I was swamped today

Jerry has flouted the Selig Rule pretty blatantly with La Russa and Getz, but they've had high ranking minority employees for a long time. Like yeah, I get that Willie Harris was done dirty and Getz was a farce. But I really don't understand this. 4 of the past 6 managers were minorities. The top exec for two decades was Black. Darryl Boston is coated in Teflon. Hell, Wilder was replaced by Paddy, so it's not like he was replaced by a white guy. If you're looking to rage against anyone, look north to the Ricketts family and Papa Joe

You know it's bad when Dave Wilder is coming back from the shadows to dump gasoline in the fire.

Of course not. Scouts cost money.

Cause rookies are expendable and only smart organizations spend time developing rookie talent.

Pedro is so fucking Charmin soft with vets, but with rookies he leaps at the chance to be a hard ass.

Grifol about to install a time card punch in, punch out clock at the G-Rate

He's on a roll.

We do know that Pedro doesn't like Colas' "give 100%" attitude.

Also, while nabbing this photo: When Chris Getz retired, a symbol of Royals futility went with him

Also everyone remember, Chris is teaching guys baseball.

FYI, pasting x.com links won't work. Twitter.com links do.

*vaguely gestures at Dayton Moore*

I want Vera to succeed so badly, but it's getting hard to care at this point.

The good ol' "do or die" promotion.

I found who we trade Yoan for

Is that why the announcement included him wearing sunglasses, so we can't see the shock in his eyes when good players pass on the Sox in free agency?

Jerry seeing the Mets, Padres and Rangers all implode this year:

We already have. Unless he succeeds, in which case we will be enraged if he is ever traded due to a positional logjam and everyone will pretend they were never against him as a draft pick.

160, because the other teams genuinely can't believe the Sox are serious and don't show up until 15 minutes after game time and the Sox are declared victors.

First thought: This really feels like them limiting his innings + help him get his groove back Second thought: The 2024 rotation Cease (because he destroyed his value), Touki, Schlotens, Kopech-Crochet alternating starts and it's called "innovative," Davis Martin — now pitching with his left hand, Tanner Banks regularly pitching a bullpen day, Oscar Colas stretched out as a pitcher. Then Mena and Nastrini get called up and Pedro says they'll get playing time when they're ready, just not yet. Inexplicably, they play right field.

It's funny imagining him suddenly doing fielding drills with the team like Drake was.

I want to know what we think is more destructive: The 2015-2016 roster or this one? This one is no doubt worse on the field, but those All In teams...oof. They had a heavy, heavy cost.

Jimmy Rollins had a massive impact on the team by setting off the chain of events that led to the Drake LaRoche saga. Which means...whose kid does Elvis purge from the team?
