Heads22 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yeah, I'm not gonna actively root for us to lose. I'm totally aware of the benefits it could reap, but I can't actively want it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally aware of the benefits it could reap, but I can't actively want it to happen. Same. Outwardly rooting for losses is fu**ing lame. I hope the Sox get off to a hot start, and even if they do, I won't expect the FO to change their direction, nor should they. But I never root for my teams to lose. If they end up with a top 5 pick, so be it, I know it's part of the process, but I'd prefer to see our young players take large steps forward and our veterans rake while they're here. One in the hand... I still don't think this team (with Rodon) is as bad as most here want them to be, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

Lip Man 1 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Even if (when) the Sox trade away all their vets I still don't think they'll lose enough games to get the #1 pick. Some of those teams in the N.L. are so bad, some of the top college teams could probably beat them. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team is going to win 78 games, Hahn hasn't traded enough pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in the hand... I still don't think this team (with Rodon) is as bad as most here want them to be, but I guess we'll see soon enough. For me personally - I suspect we won't be competitive until 2019 or 2020. "Tank for Beer" is more about setting low expectations and getting the stomach ready for some bad teams. My guess for this teams record is also not as bad as most, I've pegged them for somewhere around 72 to 76 wins as currently constructed. When it's mid season and we've had more roster changes - that total could easily fall. The only benefit to losing will be our draft position and this is my way to stay sane during losing. There's some psychological term for it... which escapes me right now... cognitive dissonance isn't exactly it but it's something like that. It's when you talk yourself into enjoying or wanting something that you really don't want. My brain is like spaghetti - as I've just dealt with a sleep resistant 3 year old for two hours. So... yeah... I'll stop talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 All aboard the tank train....next stop a top 3 pick in '18 followed by a top 5 pick in '19 and wild card contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It's a double entendre. Tank for the best player in the draft "Beer" AND tank while we drink a boatload of beer because the team is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryzner Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 This slogan actually makes this season even more fun for me. I know they won't be competitive but I'm stoked to see how Anderson and Rodon develop, and if/when any call-ups happen, how they develop as well. I'm all aboard the #TankForBeer train.
