Great day, this is long overdue. Hopefully they'll go back to being the spiders and name the park after Sochalexis

Been working on a TV show in the production office. Tonight, we got call from Disney and our execs that we had to shut down because of a very high number of positive test that came in. A number in the teens. We get tested daily and still had a huge outbreak. Be safe.

Call me old school but two lefty bats would be ideal. A primary/platoon guy and someone off the bench. Brad Miller would be a huge addition to the team.

Fuck Jerry. Hahn and maybe KW should walk. Completely fucking asinine

I don't get all the hype here around Colas myself. He's not high profile like Moncada, Robert, Soler, and Cespedes.

Renteria has one more year on his deal and he’s earned the right to coke back next year to be the manager imo. That being said, next year is do or die for him. He doesn’t make strides again like he did this year, he’s gone. Ideally the next manager is someone who can win while still developing the players.

I don’t think the Sox will be in on Bauer, so I’m really hoping for Kevin Gausman. Yes he called San Fran home but look at these stats. 10 GS, 59.2 IP, 3.62 ERA/3.09 FIP, 79K/11.9 Kp9, 118 ERA+, 2.4 BBp9. Stroman would be a solid addition but I want guys who can strike people out. I also want to see the Sox go after Joe Musgrove of the Pirates.

This was always going to be a developmental year for Cease. Never should’ve been the #3, he’s a 5 on a good rotation. I fully expect him to bounce back next year with the experience he gained this year.

Hopefully it’s a blister

Tomorrow I’m riding with Madrigal but I’m DH’ing Eloy and I’m starting Crochet

He was really great for two or three years.

The Sox shouldn’t overpay for a backup catcher. There a better ways to spend that money.

I thought Renteria blew the game when he brought Giolito back out. The playoffs are not the time to be making gaffes like that.

If most of the team isn’t hitting, they’re not getting on base at all it seems like. Grandal can go through a slump with the bat but you can still count on him to take his bases. If you have a lineup with guys like Anderson, Robert, even Madrigal to a degree, you need guys to balance them out so to speak. 8% is considered to be an average walk rate. 10% is consider to be above average. The position players the Sox bring in need to have a walk rate of above 8%.

Hate sending Giolito back out there. Pull him, he’s over 100 pitches and it’s the third time through the order.

Keep hitting him 9, the ideal 9 hitter. I don’t want him batting leadoff and certainly not second.

Deleted comment, I read your post wrong but I’d keep Madrigal at 9. I’d want my more powerful hitters batting higher in the order.

I’m talking about guys with high walk rates, walk rates that are close to 10%. I don’t see Madrigal ever having a walk rate in that area. The Sox need to take more walks.

Will be more detailed later but the Sox need to add more OBP guys to the roster. Moncada and Grandal are not enough. I hope they spin the wheels on Pederson for RF and Brad Miller as a bench piece this offseason.

Someone please explain to me how Cooper isn’t a good PC.

He’s going to be a good weapon to have at your disposal either way

I called it

Where’s this energy for the dudes who threw and called the pitch?
