Good job

The Twins are bad. If I squint hard enough I can see a series split, but games 2, 3 and 4 can also be no hitters for the Minnesota. I think the Sox win today, though.

Paul Konerko's statue. Jerry gets to milk the success of the 2005 team some more, plus it allows him him to stay internal and not talk to anyone new during the interview and hiring process.

So maybe today is the day the no hitter happens

Sounds like another veteran that Pedro will be scared of.

I don’t think we’re even close to rock bottom yet.

Yeah but how’s your team culture?

JR’s teams absolutely thriving today. I'd say he deserves this, but we all know he gives zero shits.

I don't know how you interpret that quote that way unless you're actively trying to interpret it that way.

I'm sure JR would just use some phony ass rationalization that "big strides" were made this year that couldn't have been made if they went outside the organization.

I will say, at least Pedro is moving guys around instead of stubbornly keeping them in the same spot in the lineup.

For me, it’s hoping that: 1) Player development will improve enough where you have waves of talent supplementing the major league roster instead of relying on the same few players to stay healthy and blossom into superstars year after year. 2) The money that JR does allow to be spent will be allocated better aka not spending 50 trillion dollars on the bullpen.

Get both brothers. That family has some good baseball genes.

Sure, but a big part of a manager's job is handling the media and being the main communicator of the team's status and overall message. He is awful at it.
