No, I don’t think the Red Sox are cheating. Whoops, wrong conspiracy theory thread.

Schultz literally turned 23 three days ago…plenty of time to right the ship

Fair

Schultz will win a Cy Young for the Brewers in 2 years after we trade him for the husk of Brandon Woodruff

Private equity tirade in 3.....2.....1......

And the guy who barrels in and scolds every positive person who opines about SoxTalk, en masse, doesn't have a care in the world about K-I-A regularly mocking everybody here. Weird.

Yes. Venable wouldnt go to the media and say "hahaha. I gamed the system. Loophole, bitches!!" He'd obviously play dumb publicly.

I think he fucked up, personally. I also think he’s done a great job overall, so I’m less annoyed by it than some other that don’t like him as much.

Like you. The obvious explanation, and why I called it immediately in the game thread, is that it was done on purpose. My only question is if he’s the first to do it or did he just expose a loophole for other managers?

I dont even know what "execute an appeal" means in baseball context, as in requiring the manager to come out of the dugout. Thats not how you appeal. The guy screwed up and gave a bs explanation. Happens everyday in life. This place has jumped the shark it seems and my contributions dont really have a place here anymore. No biggie.

Nobody begging you to keep tolerating!

I think that's harsh. He's young there's a lot of room to grow. Not comparing the 2 but I still remember that a rookie Dylan cease could not be trusted to pitch in game 3 of the playoffs. People wanted him gone too at that point and thought he would amount to nothing.

Took heat? The Sox just sent Schultz down today. They've destroyed the kid. Pessimistic take lol. Its what happened and what was said by the man himself. That somehow makes me a pessismist. Im sorry you cant come to grips with that. This place has become intolerable.

What appeal was he trying to execute?

Zero chance. He looked like a confused moron, not like some savant gaming the system. Occams razor is something people have a hard time accepting.

Soxtalk presents completely plausible scenario where manager takes heat for players and finds a clever way to buy time for his pitcher to warm up. Know-it-all shits on it and takes the pessimistic view every time.

The “f*** up” makes zero sense for several reasons. He would never admit he gamed the system, but it was well played.

Yeah you’re gonna need to wait two more years for that confirmation

Guy screws up like a dope. Admits he fucked up on live TV. Soxtalk refuses to accept the reality.

I think they just needed a couple fresh arms more than anything. Fingers crossed these two hit the ground running.

Sending Schultz down reveals a lot.

Not only would it have been incredibly odd for him to come out to talk to Noah that early, but that Bove just let him walk out there is kind of telling, too. That important game was about to get away from us in the top of the 1st…if ever there was a perfect time to “accidentally” force your flailing starter out of the game with no one warm in the pen, that was it. ETA…if he forgot Bove had already gone out there, why didn’t he send Bove out again? Have we ever seen Will make the first mound visit of a ballgame, much less in the first?

Got ourselves a little game thread controversy. Bumping the one that was created first.

Occams Razor. He forgot about the 1st one.
