How is a guy the Sox cut in the Padres' bullpen?

Tristan Peters dropping one in. Dude sticks.

You ever find your fresh Polish sausage, yet?

Shriff should work this into his shtick:

If Schriffen ever starts doing Dolemite memes, I'm in.

If I was on the broadcast and there was a Polish player, I'd wear out the Pilsudski memes.

The league is scared of a resurgent Sox team.

Tatis left the org before Getz could teach him fundamentals.

The right pbp dude can draw out Stone. When he keeps getting asked if they should give the green light on 3-0 (they do that on radio, too), he's not really going to bloom.

I think I might be faster than Murakami.

Me, or Schriff?

Or you could just butt out and go make lists of 1980s era Twins players to giggle at. I'll make whatever comparisons I want, uneducated whiners be damned.

Romo and Peters look good enough to be place-holders. Quero and Acuña need PAs, I get it. But this is looking like you're not 1-4, then desert from 5-9.

It's funny that you think that Frank Thomas was in the Hall of Fame, already, as he played his first full season in the bigs, which was how I took the comparison. I guess that's why the few of you get so angry when people make comparisons between players. You don't understand baseball talk.

Hoo-ray for vague-posting!! Am I not a Sox fan because Mune isn't Frank Thomas, or am I not a Sox fan because I consider Mune an important fixture at 1B, going forward, who they can and should build around? Of course, Munetaka Murekami isn't Frank Thomas. As I said in my post, if the guy could just pull on his spikes and hit 50 HRs, that's valuable. Add to that the Japanese marketing potential and strengthening the pipeline to the Pacific Rim, and not trading Murakami looks like a no-brainer. So to correct you, yes, it is a sensible question. Good talk, bro!

One day, by mistake, you will make sense.

What does any of this mean? Who will be making that argument?

And then there's this:

Relative to the league, Lance was always around league average, within 10% in either direction. He only really started to hit when he got to the Mets.

Good ole' Brian Anderson.

I'm not going to start a new thread for this, but this is kind of interesting. Tristan Peters is worming his way into being a viable, temporary platoon option.

I would prefer Kelenic starts over Hill or Peters. It would be ...a choice... to start Hays, Peters and Hill, and to bench Kelenic. If old Jarred can really hit, again, they need his bat in the lineup.

I didn't congratulate Hahn for letting Rodon walk without a QO, so it's nothing like it. Kimbrel for Pollock wasn't a bad deal. Pollock ended up sucking. Bad luck. And I don't understand your logic. If they kept Rodon, they still would have needed an OF. COUNTERPOINT: The talent on the roster did not decrease when removing Robert. Peters has put up more WAR, so far. Hicks, et. al. has created the value of being 2 games out of 1st place. Eye on the prize, Holden. Those "3rd best value for free agency dollars amortized over a decade" banners are just a joke. They don't really hang those.

"Shouldn't multiple mlb teams now be offering to poach him from the Sox with almost three years of unassailable track record?" You don't know they aren't.

Here, I'll post this again, since you seem to glazed over it the first time: A 6-WAR CF sure would help this team. Too bad Robert didn't hold up his end, plummeted his own value, and Getz had to get what he could. Getz got rotten lemons, and he crafted a lemonade-cider invention that is going to redefine the industry. It's actually quite the accomplishment, turning JR into a sooth-sayer, and getting what he could for a failed Robert. Certainly worthy of the FIFA Peace Prize.
