Most of this is just blue sky hopes and dreams, but this part... Stearns and Getz are nothing alike. Stearns made hay in a small market maximizing everything he touched in Milwaukee, and was stolen away by the Mets after an exhaustive search. Getz failed upwards, had terrible results in his previous role, and was the result of no search at all. They couldn't be more different.

If they're playing service tricks with a guy whose more likely to be out of the league than in it in 6 years, shame on them.

Yikes. He's almost run neutral on FGs defensive values now. He leads our team in fWAR. If you want Sosa gone, you're insane. FGs -.7 runs below average. As a team the Sox are -40. Statcast: 55th percentile defender. Run neutral. You can use the eye test or you can use advanced metrics. Hell use both for all I care but don't ignore the metrics. He's fine at 2B. He works to improve his first step he could be solid.

It's almost as if... one trait of a good leader/builder is that when they leave, things keep churning in the right direction because they build an infrastructure that's not reliant on one person being there.

NICE win!! Please you maniacs don't post a new .500 incoming thread or etc., i wanna play a nice little FUN BAD to end the season

Really happy the Sox gave Lenyn a real shot this year rather than signing over him. Can't say he necessarily deserved it, but this is what happens when you let guys get comfy. Now we suddenly have a 2-2.5 war infielder with 4 more years of control.

I hope there never comes a day when MLB totally destroys the National League and American League as entities. It would be such a Manfred move, though. Welcome to World Series match ups between the Western Conference and Eastern Conference champs! Please, Dear God, no. I'd also be very surprised if MLB decides to make their 2 expansion teams in Charlotte AND Nashville. Too close to each other and they'd both carve up the Braves' existing fan base area.

A C is being kind.

It's an easy 3.5 hour drive. No need to waste Jerry's money on airfare

This is why when the other team "mails it in" with a position player, you swing out of your damn shoes and put a 10 spot on their ass. Yes LaRussa, you go for the throat.

Truist field playing Thunderstruck f*** you that's our song

He doesn't try btw

Tony approves of that take

What TF is left side soreness.

Veni, Vidi, Sosa

@TRU STFU

BITCHES LOVE SOSA!!!!!!!!!!!!

All things considered Tauchman plays a pretty solid RF. Gets a lot of good jumps.

You don't know if you are French or not?

Have to hold glove back and let momentum bring it into runner...rather than grabbing and pulling it back. Got impatient.

Tyler Osik told the org that Sean Burke likes to play too much Settlers of Catan. Actual guess: He's gassed.

1000% this part.

It looks like the Lenyn Sosa of air fryers: Versatile (maybe?) with power

I believe that the GM and the Manager need to be on the same page on certain issues but ultimately any in game decisions should be made by the manager and I think it was Venable’s decision and his only to remove Baldwin from Saturday nights game in the 5th inning after a hit and 2 nice plays in right field including a perfect throw to double off a runner at first base, at least he let him play the whole game Sunday with Baldwin responding with 3 line drive hits. It's about building confidence in young players. They should put Brooks in LF and leave him there the rest of the year and Beni can DH.

Every team wanted to hire Stearns. Getz wouldnt be hired by any other mlb team. The crazy comparisons to other GMs is wild.

Nobody wants to see pitchers hit.

Not happening, not even close to a big enough population for 81 home games.

Lost in translation?

JR loves this...do they donate Leftover s to local food banks or toss out?

if we are going down French musician rabbit holes i would be remiss without mentioning Eric Serra - French composer of the Goldeneye soundtrack, GOAT Bond movie/game.

This is fun

I don't think they're going to be shut out, either.

Give the man a hit

Aussie aussie aussie!!

the best success story infield wise since TA.

This team is so inconsisist but they have really put together some excellent offensive outbursts post ASG. I'd guess we're about run neutral after tonight in pythag.

lol i felt that middle aged grimace from beni there. but I'm not getting paid 18 million to be past my athletic prime.

Wow, Sosa, 10-1.

Gomez with 2 good starts in a row, hope he keeps it up.

Probably from game 1 Cubbie fan tears alone

Sometimes, changing stuff makes things worse. IMO this is one of those times. Messing with league changes won't help baseball.

I don't know. I want to say that Quentin Tarantino used one of his songs in a soundtrack (Girl Habit), covered by a current artist, and I went down the rabbit hole. Probably his most famous song - the Pope condemned it for what sure sounds like an orgasm at the end, and that made it shoot to #1 around the world. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - Je t'aime... moi non plus/Original videoclip (Fontana 1969)

Nah, he’s baseball dumb. He’s perfectly fine for right now but I don’t see anything special there and we have more promising players to give at bats to.

I think you guys are getting a bit off topic talking about baseball instead of air fryers. Anyone have an opinion on this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFHMQV8Q

Maybe you are right, I don't know. I find it hard to think though that a manager like Bob Melvin, Bruce Bochy, Dave Roberts or Terry Francona would agree to that undermining of their authority.

A good solution would be put another NFL team in Chicago. Have the team play at Soldier Field and have the team play in the AFC conference.

I've had a few beers and my head hurts trying to figure out what you just said 🤔

This current front office has not proven to me that they can draft, develop players, or trade for players competently. And Getz has had terrible results so far in the latter two. Maybe the Crochet deal will work out well for us, but last I saw, we don't have any other Garret Crochets sitting around to be traded for a decent haul. "Well, the [name some other MLB team] went from 100+ losses to the playoffs in a couple of years, therefore so can we" is terrible game plan for a MLB franchise.

Team has been so bad lately we talking bout airfryers now lol

We are such a hopeless fanbase that the team only being the second-worst team in the sport has people thinking we’ll be in the playoffs in two years.
