The Cubs also have advertisements painted in the grass between the dugouts and 1st and 3rd baselines. Someone the Sox played earlier this season had a logo on the mound, too. They're all advertisements that could be negatively construed quite easily if the team on the field disappointed? That, I find incredibly difficult to imagine. PERCEPTION IS 90% OF REALITY. Why put yourself in a position to look like a jackass? Remember TWTW, from Harrelson? The souvenirs/t-shirts/merchandising around it? Well, it last about all of 2 or 3 weeks when the team completely fell apart. Edited August 16, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still arguing that Kyle Hendricks is bad and has been getting lucky for 6 years? 😂 BOOM. If I could, I'd like this post 100 times.

maxjusttyped Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Concerning Edwin can't even draw walks at this point. He's offering the Sox nothing. Exit velo way down, too many popups, this is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either pitch gems or get lit up like a Christmas tree. There is no in between. Pitchers that miss bats are more steady in the playoffs.

That, I find incredibly difficult to imagine. Well, the arrow is pointing to the outfield for the Sox hitters, too. So, it could be positively construed. Or, who gives a shit. It’s advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be right on it. Abreu, I think we had universal distaste to his contract. Sad Said all along they should have gone after Castellanos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
