Well that was about the dumbest play imaginable

light these bitches up

running it down their throats

Biggest issue with previous rebuild was they were all injury prone, and then shockingly lost their athletic ability

Nice defensive stand

Here we go with the negative posts

what an idiotic way to f*** your team

They wouldn't have had to have been players in the deep end if they had a flow of talent coming from the minors. That was chronic, and how they'd end up starting the JB Shucks of the world. But yeah, they didn't make the big dives.

Michael Irvin...you would have thought he was actually in the game. Got from Paul/Joshua after-parties in Miami to College Station no worse for wear.

Maybe owners are starting to think pitchers are overpriced. You can get quite wealthy just being mediocre or rarely missing a start. When a budget team drafts and develops a good one they trade them to the money teams. They hope they can repeat the process over and over.

One exec called it 90. Off the charts!! While plenty of teams have balked at Murakami's strikeout rate, in-zone swing-and-miss and questionable defensive position, one high-ranking executive this week said: "He's still got 90 raw power." Meaning: Murakami's immense power breaks the scouting scale that ranks players on scores of 20 to 80. Passan/espn

It’s us or bust. No consolation prize if he ends up elsewhere. We need that 80 grade power at the Rate 81 games a year.

That's actually Murakami's nickname, though. Because of his size/frame and personality, partially.

As long as it's not LAD NYM NYY Philly Toronto Boston Cubs...that's all impartial baseball fans can ask for.

Wait, doesn't he play for the Dodgers?

You know we're in trouble when SoxTalk comes up on google as the best source for current/updated Murakami rumors lol. Even went to Japan Times sports to see if anyone was ahead of this story somewhere in the world. No dice. No Times of India/Hindustan Times.

The Marlins GM came from the Rays. In 2 years they were close to .500 in a tough division while Getz is celebrating 2 100 loss seasons. I like to nickname the Marlins as Reinsdorf South. Getz could play the blame game but last I heard he was a minor league director before being "promoted".

Atta boy caulfield! You are starting to believe!

And I see why you're getting nervous. I mean, you will have to become a whole new avatar once the Sox start spending above the poverty line. It's a scary prospect. We're all here for you when you have to make that adjustment.

They were also brittle players. Health seems to be the new skill especially pitchers.

I would put JMU over Oregon or Paul over Joshua as more likely... 7-0. That was fast. Although someone did actually bet $1.3 million on Joshua in that clown show/rigged fight.

Well, that will most certainly impact JR's decision-making process. Not even sure he knows that Murakami even exists...but "SoxTalk unite, and let's roll out!" Soxtimus Prime

i would be shocked if this indeed happens!!!

How does every thread turn into the same tired Chris Getz fight? We’re on the verge of signing the Japanese Babe Ruth and half the board can’t stop bickering with each other over a bunch of non-sense. Let’s get fucking amped and stop with all the damn in-fighting.
