And then you come back, and Gilbert starts clogging up the bases.

Enjoy the Teel bandwagon. As soon as he ties a couple of 0-4's together, you'll be jumping off and bragging you always knew he was garbage.

Michael A. Taylor would easily outplay me. The catcher would have had to run up the line some to tag me out.

Notes on Cannon and Martin, Palisch cleared waivers and Robert to the IL. Pregame notes: Jonathan Cannon returns to rotation, Luis Robert Jr. returns to IL - Sox Machine Oh, and didn't someone say this earlier?

Michael A. Taylor is the better CF right at this moment. Robert is a bench bat until he proves otherwise.

I'd say it's gotta be Tyler Gilbert or Wikelman Gonzalez.

I will be. I'm clicking on "ignore".

Or guys who post the exact same thing multiple times a day in every single string.

You mean because they're going to trade him? OMFG!!! ROTFLMFAO!!!! That's a good one!!!!

I don't know. If Getz was scheming enough to get JR to cut bait on KW and Hahn, exile TLR to North Carolina scouting A-ball, clean house and launch a full-on rebuild, I'm not sure how that's a bad thing. Apparently, it is.

And now the Twitter backlash begins. Poor, little white boy said what any of us white boys would have said at 22, and now the "morality police" are performing "fake outrage". Maybe Trump should send this dipshit to Venezuela to heckle the cartels. I'm sure they'd cry and ban him from their cartel games. Weird how the same people were flexing their "moral outrage" and their moral superiority when they thought the kid was yelling out details of Marte's mother's fatal car accident. I'm glad bro-dudes have moved onto the "backlash" stage of bro-dude grieving.

He didn't. But if the news is that guys are getting banned for "I texted your mother last night", then maybe they'll shut up with the more detailed stuff. Sure, it's a memorable evening when that one heckler is funny. You have to go through thousands of them to get to that one guy, tho.

The stage will be SRO.

Then you'll hear the dull thud as loud as he does.

And there still should be moral outrage. If you're at the game trying to have a good time with your young kids, you don't want some drunken a-hole 3 rows back bellowing BS about how he railed some players "crack whore" mother. Somebody who wants to yell that out in public should have to consider getting tossed from the park after a single warning and enjoying a ban after defiance in the face of more warnings. We're defending idiot behavior, not because it's a rite of passage, but because we thought it was funny at some point in our lives and did it, ourselves.

I think you mean that he's going to get the same treatment that anybody who offers an opinion in public considered controversial usually gets. Like, the dudes who online tortured the women of the Ghostbusters remake weren't acting on moral superiority. I'm sure a lot of the guys acting out over this aren't doing it in defense of the good names of all mothers.

The Sox probably should have done with Colson what they're doing with Wolkow right now. Bite the bullet early, fix his swing and approach early, weather the half a season to a season of poor results on the gamble that the changes took. Now, they're working with him when he's burning options, and every strikeout gets thrown around Twitter.

There are cameras pointed at every section of the ballpark. It doesn't take long at all to run facial recognition software on the crowd and get pinged.

We're all adults. We all work(ed) jobs where we had to assess departments, amass data to find inefficiencies, etc. And we all know what corporate mumbo jumbo sounds like. It's usually a red flag when somebody leads with "I do this for a living", then sprays a fog of corporate-speak to prove they're the only ones with authority to critique anything. You're fine.

Yeah, don't be giving people the finger from the passenger seat.

As somebody else said a few pages ago, "Yeah, your mother..." is something edgy to 11 year olds, and it usually takes saying it to that one kid who pops you one over it to disabuse you of the regular use of that putdown.

From Merriam Webster:

We'll get the excuse, "what do you care? the player doesn't read this." It's not about the player. It's about us. Every time somebody calls a player "hot garbage" or "trash", it's like a punch in the face. It's debasing to the person typing it and to the person reading it. And it's not as easy as telling us to not read it. We read through the posts. You don't know somebody typed that dehumanizing nonsense until you read it. And as for the "fan", the guy made a horrible mistake. It's in our culture to one-up. To take it just a little further. "My mother's a whore? You're mother ..." It's like porn addiction. Porn is shocking. But the shock wears off, so the user needs to move onto more extreme porn to reproduce the initial shock. A player's trash, then a dumpster fire, then on and on.
