Wow! Both getting all the votes! Congrats to them and well deserved. Hopefully all our players can follow their paths of working hard and getting better every year.

Is this person on soxtalk cuz this is hilarious.

Was Abreu not considered a signing this year? Nobody has mentioned that signing in this thread...

I’ve seen some people on here say that. I am ok with hiring Hinch. So I am not saying that. But choosing the lesser of 2 evils does soften the blow for some people. I mean if you look at it rationally it changes nothing. But the sigh of relief for some people does make it “feel” better.

It has a lot of people saying “at least Hinch isn’t TLR” which makes who they hired look better. (If it is Hinch)

Isn’t that exactly what a PR departments job is? Trying to make an organization look good to the public?

Sad but true...

Is there a place to get more updates and info on the instructional league?

I better start looking for jobs. Haha... I didn’t see him getting fired either.

I am not trying to say it’s all on RR. Just that the claims that it’s all on Hahn and RR is just doing what he is being forced to do the FO bidding is probably wrong. People are trying to place blame on the people they dislike but it’s really shared blame.

To me you could also say wasn’t the FO as tired as we were watching it... seems like RR wouldn’t quit playing him so they finally had to release him so he would couldn’t waste anymore at bats on him... like I said if the FO doesn’t want to look bad they’d want to stop playing him too.

That’s what I was trying to say. You can’t blame it all on the FO or RR. We are not privy to who and how these decisions are made. But you know they all have at least some say...

So you are saying the front office isn’t competitive? Not saying anybody is 100% to blame but sticking with washed up vets seems like an old school RR way of thinking. Also if the front office is so worried about being “right” as you say they’d be more willing to move away from bad players. I think the one thing this stuff shows is the organization does not believe in Yermin or Collins. Both are guys that would make the FO look “right” if they were good.

I could see them stretching him out in the high minors, AA or AAA then bring him up to the bullpen for the end of the season.

Hahn should have nothing to do with ordering an mri... that is completely on the medical staff. I am sure if there is any reason to he would have had it by now. I will trust what ptatc has said on here many times... if you don’t need to do surgery you don’t do it.
