Look at Ray Ray Run

All the "this team sucks, I told ya'll" posters get awfully silent after another series win vs a pretty good team. Or the sox can't score off good pitching after they beat Flaherty. The hot take city after a series loss makes me wonder if this may be their first year watching baseball

I was told the sox wouldn't win another series until the Tigers series in June though! Amazing how the negative posters disappear when winning happens.

Gotta say I got no beefs with the quote. Just classic old man speak, and don't think anyone outside the clubhouse really knows if there was intent behind it so I won't get worked up on this one.

Gotta say, I'll never understand someone getting banned and making a new name to come back. If I was banned I'd just take it as a blessing to find another hobby that might be slightly more productive ? Why post somewhere that bans you?

Wonder how angry TLR was that the Sox beat his Cardinals tonight.

I don't blame fans for not realizing when they have a bat like 25, we haven't had many in our existence. The kid is going to be damn near unstoppable. I still think we talk about a hell of a hot run to bring him way up into the ROY conversation this year. The kids just gets hitting and understands the proper approach in a way most never will.

Where's Joeycora to tell me that the Sox have zero shot of winning 1 of the next 2 since they will not win a series until June.

Guy throws a change up and the hitters think the guy is cheating it's so nasty.

@wegner don't want to mush it, but I sent Crede to the old man and my buddies group chat 30 seconds before the vaughn home run. Gave up faith in Soxtalk and didn't post.

There will never be someone who does more with an average of less than 24 in those big spots. Kopech mania; that should honestly be illegal.

Just in case our guy Joey cora calls me on receipts

I agree lol. I have a signed game worn JC jersey (has a comiskey park patch) that was given to me at the White Sox midwest Showcase when I thought I was gonna be a big leaguer my senior year summer. Was still the most exciting moment of my baseball career meeting Joe and he was so damn cool and not a dick about it. My boy who went to FSU sold me out at the White Sox hosting of the midwest showcase and Joe went into his car and gave me a game worn jersey he wore signed by him that I have hanging in my office in a frame to this day.

You god damn right. This is a generational bat. That load, that approach, that swing... that's shit you can't teach. When he gets that lift down consistently we're talking about a 50 double 35 homer, frank thomas type bat. The Frank, i don't swing for the fences I just hit liners out type of bomb machine. HOSE him YAZ!

When doesn't he?!?!?! Guy just knows what a moment means. Struggle bunny for a couple games then when the moment gets big he goes smack.

7 didn't let me down either! 7 and 25 for the damn win boys!

Was out to dinner with my wife and sister and came home just in time for the homer. Told my wife we almost named the dog AV but it wasn't quite as great as crede. Av goes yard right after. 7 is just too common otherwise my guy 7 would have been a nomination.

I've been watching every swing since the debut. I'm not a results guy. This guy is a goddam monster. He sees the ball and rakes like a complete stud. Timing and swing plane is monster town. Love me some AV!

You cant stop the vaughn train!

Tell me vaughn ain't ready! Tell me he's not good enough. That's my fucking dude!

Thats my fucking guy!

I just want everyone to know, 7 is going yak ball tonight.

But is this really the "longer haul?" There's so much noise in 1 run games over even an entire year. You'll often see teams that overachieve significantly often times do so because they won a lot of 1 run games - the Orioles a few years back are one great example. Were the Orioles actually good at that, or were they just the beneficiary of the randomness that is 1 run games; after all, as with any curve with 30 teams you're bound to have some who outperform and under perform quite a bit.

I understand, but winning 1 run games really isn't a "skill" imo. I tend to think you'll play to your overall win% in 1 run games over a large enough sample. Maybe an elite closer or bullpen helps a little, and not having bozo the clown as manager but I dont think a team who leads baseball in blowouts will for some reason struggle in close games.

Still waiting on your receipts regarding me claiming to have insider knowledge of padres financials. Guess proof only matters for other posters. Rick has had some struggles, but he'd find a job very quickly if he quit this one.

Blow outs are really good, just as an fyi.
