You appear to have your head up your own ass by taking the game thread in the WRONG direction. You show no sense now. Please refrain from political crap.
There's probably a lot to envy. Their ownership doesn't have a sense of loyalty to a fault. They invest in experienced management while the Sox always look for someone who wore the uniform. Two of our top prospects were originally theirs. Their farm system is no joke. They have better scouting. They are superior in many ways. Reinsdorf's buddy system vs. Ricketts getting those who won. I do fear when Reinsdorf is gone there will still be that status quo.
Part of me wants to cry. 1) I did not get to watch these playoff games. 2) Sox A ball has officially ended this season.
Watching the A teams was so exciting. Kanny and Salem were disappointments but GF really put up some numbers.
I've given up the thought of a hitting coach makes a difference. Dusty Baker use to go through a lot of them. It's a swing for the fences mentality with younger players. There's no situational hitting. It's all about individual accomplishments. Bunting is not glamorous but some made a career out of it.
I think many could write the same post. I use to make an annual post on why I don't care for the NFL anymore. I didn't really watch a Sox game this year and didn't buy the MLB subscription. This year I expanded my horizon watching the minors and I really enjoyed it. I'm sad when baseball season is over. Lucky there is the Fall League. I can pretty much watch baseball in some form out here year round.
I think fans expect immediate results out of a rebuild. That is more possible in the NBA and NFL but not MLB. Not every team in MLB is lucky to get a Mike Trout type player.
As for Kopech it is not the end of the world. This is a guy who only performs every 5 days. I remember when Frank Thomas would get hurt and that always dampered the season.
Got to see most of the Barons, Knights, and Dash. I became a fan of the Dash. The A teams did great this year except for the post season. I miss it already. I will be watching again next year.
