So it can live on here in posterity:
-
So just checking in. Looks like Fathom has reached the acceptance stage. I commend you, man. I'm dying to get there too.
-
You could have spent without hiring TLR, if they spend this offseason it'll be spun that way but nothing was stopping them from spending with Sandy Alomar as the manager.
-
Whelp, I honestly can't think of a positive side to this. Sorry guys.

To hold up Nick Madrigal's .376 OBP as some kind of indicator that he's going to get on base a lot in the future is disingenuous, that came with a .036 ISOd (OBP-AVG), if he were actually any good at getting on base he'd have a .400 OBP with a .340 batting average. A 12% BB rate being the backbone of a .376 OBP is sustainable, a .340 average propping it up is not. Madrigal proved he was good at only 1 thing last year and that's hitting singles, he was bad at everything else a baseball player is asked to do on the field. He could absolutely get better and have a high BB rate in the future but last year was no indication that it's going to happen.
-
This is not how you use OBP
-
Definitely not feeling any better.
-
No shit, I don't love him either but I'm getting a lot more comfortable with Hinch the closer we get to a TLR signing. If this was the purpose of involving LaRussa's name in this then it worked.
-
Yes, this is what I'm getting at. Ricky allowed his guys to do it then threw at Contreras, what's TLR going to do in those situations? I have a think I know what Hinch would do.
-
I know it's not a pre-requisite for winning but I'd prefer my manager get along with the players. Yes, Billy Martin. I do not care. There's zero reason to bring any friction into the clubhouse beyond a manager with a firmer hand than Ricky.
-
One of the greatest players of all time doing occasionally isn't exactly a 1:1 comparison. I was also legit asking, I suspect he doesn't love them but I don't know that.
-
Anyone know TLR's take on batflips? The Sox are having a TA batflip bobblehead day next year, that style of play and flare is a signature of this team.
-
So you didn't actually read any of it, you're just assuming that it's nothing?
-
I don't hate Jackie Bradley Jr. he's still elite defensively (tied Robert for highest OOA among outfielders last season) and could fit as the strong side of a platoon with Engel. The problem is someone might pay him based on his 2020 offense which was a clear outlier. If the price was right he'd be a nice fit as a defense first approach to the position.
-
AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?

Their owner is a "meddler" so maybe they'd be open to trading their extremely well respected manager of 1 year for some trash. Yes, I hear you and I'm with you.
