Oh yea, Lucas is definitely no joke. The Sox just outscored the Astros in a 4 game series on the road. How many predicted that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the rare Soxtalk threads where overwhelming negativity can actually be proven wrong in a short span LOL yea if I was truly a bastard and had nothing better to do I could make a few different folders based on many different areas like who to sign as a FA,who to trade for,which prospects will flop, who we should draft and make a lot of people look foolish. However we all look foolish over and over if you spend enough years on this board.It's just some do it in a very short period of time. You could also do it on how right many people are. Sometimes I do bump old threads just for curiosity . The Samardzija threads when the Sox traded for him were all pretty positive with many also thinking the Sox could resign him before free agency. I'm also curios to see what everyone thought about Frankie Montas but I won't be bumping any threads any time soon. You could fill a book on how many hated signing McCann or gave up on Giolito and Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their farm system was loaded several years back and they are now bearing the fruits of that system. Berrios is a legit ace, Buxton is on pace for a 5 WAR season, Kepler is on pace for a 4 WAR season, and Rosario is a borderline all star (just missed last year). Those 4 are just now entering their prime years at ages 27 and under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the people who clog other threads with "____ is a bust, ____ sucks, this team won't even win 60 games" and whatnot. In those cases, it's oftentimes obvious that they are wrong but impossible to know for certain for at least a few months. In this case, the doom and gloom was killed in like 4 days. But yes, when it comes to predictions in general, all of us have been wrong about plenty over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Jorge Polanco may be the best player this season so far. The twins arent going to play at this level all year I don't think. Reylo shuts them down tonight is my thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front half of it is definitely going to be a struggle with the Twins and that’s what I told you a month ago. You dismissed it. Thankfully Sox contention window doesn’t open until 2021 and hopefully lasts until 2025/2026. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that’s what the big boys thought before they played the Royals and Indians in the playoffs from 2014-2016 as well. Those teams fared just fine against the “big boys”. Not saying the Twins are World Series bound but to assume they will get slaughtered in the playoffs is a dangerous assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
