  1. Given he’s been in the organization for the last 7+ years, what was he expecting?!?!?
  2. At least the Sox will be leading the league in something…
  3. His agent has to be furious that's the picture Rap went with

    They are also, objectively, one of the worst franchises in baseball over the last decade
  5. Sounds like someone learned the hard way...😂

    By dark side, do you mean using objective facts in an argument?
  7. Not trying to give Pedro more credit that he deserves, but my assumption is those roles will somewhat sort of themselves out based on performance. Because there are very few "standout" arms on paper in that bullpen, when he talks about using his "best leverage guys," I think he's going to have to find out who those guys are based on performance. But I've always held the stance that even if you have one of the best closers in the game, if you're up 3-2 in the 8th inning and the Dodgers are sending up their 2-3-4 hitters, I'd much rather have my best pitcher in the bullpen on the mound for the 8th. If you bring in a lesser pitcher in the 8th and he blows the lead, there is no game to save in the 9th.
  8. Given the makeup of the roster, I don't have a problem with this approach
  9. So dumb. They are basically going to have him read a press release to cameras. Just release a statement then
  10. Then don't believe it. See, how hard was that?
  11. While I don’t follow the Sox as closely as I used to, I don’t think Pedro is trying to sell to the fans. I really believe he thinks all the ra-ra bullshit is going to fire up his players and the team. It won’t, they will be terrible, but I think he believes in taking this ultra-optimistic approach with the media is the way to go. He was in WAY over his head the day he was hired, but he was most likely one of the only candidates that would accept the job
  12. Said all along, in previous posts in this thread, if he bet on baseball, or even if it wasn't Ohtani but his interpreter was, the story totally changes and we're talking about much bigger implications. I totally agree, and have been on the same page this whole time. I'm also good and have no issue with MLB or whoever else doing a bigger investigation. Find out the real story. My whole point was, at this point, there has been zero evidence of that, or that it was even Ohtani making the bets. Because of that, I don't care. If more details emerge and there are links to bets on baseball, my opinion will drastically change.
  13. Then you guys have a blast clutching your pearls over Ohtani betting on the Chiefs in Week 13. Go nuts. Until there is more meat to this story, where Ohtani bet on baseball…don’t care
  14. Guys, I get all of that. I’m not confused by the case. He used a bookie, which is illegal. I understand. Again, how does that impact what I think of Ohanti? Does anyone think he is a bad person because of this? Ideal situation? No. Not a great look. But if Ohtani decided he wanted to use a small portion of his mega contract to lay big money on an NFL Sunday with a bookie? I just don’t care.
