Just so I'm keeping score correctly...Getz gets blame for the developmental failures, but Hahn gets credit for the developmental successes because he's the one that acquired them? How dare you make me write a post defending Getz

Validate those feelings, Sox fans: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/45344992/sports-misery-index

Yep. They could fill their lineup with a bunch of us from this board and still win 8-1.

Dang, you are REALLY high on Lenyn. But seriously, who did you actually mean when you said Sosa?

I don't hate the lineup. Benintendi the only uninteresting AB.

What in the Skip Bayless is this vibe?

His ability to ruin things he touches is almost impressive.

I’m surprised that some of you still seem to be deciding how good or bad the team is in 5 game increments.

Curious what you don't like about them because I think they're pretty damn good. They can be light and playful, while still telling you what's happening and why it's happening. Incorporate analytics without being over the top with them. Homers, but critical of the team when it's called for. Yeah, I watched a lot more Cubs than Sox in the first half of the season.

Very well said.

Good. Dude needs a reset at the very least.

Multiple things can improve the experience.

That's a Tim Kurkjian nugget waiting to happen.

I don’t know why I’m taking the bait on this, but do you really not feel that a nice stadium with a nice backdrop improves the experience of going to a game?

Yup, it was obviously coming sooner or later. It’ll be interesting to see this next phase.

Spread it around. Vaughn, Hahn, Getz and also JR because why not.

Ayyye you’re there. That’s awesome. Hope you get a good one.

Yes, THAT was the obnoxious post.

I don't understand what's considered a "retro park" anymore. I get the Camden Yards thing, especially since it was such a shift from what we were used to at the time. But it seems like any stadium built after new comiskey, other than those with retractable roofs, is loosely referred to as a retro park.

History tells me Hahn would take you up on that offer, but then you'd inexplicably start to lose your ability to hear after the first 45 minutes.

Yeah, the odds of the rebrand being as good as or better than what they have now are really low.

But this time will be different.

It's weird because, while I completely agree with this, his one great season was on a 101 loss disaster of a team.

I’m just gonna assume this is a bit.

Yeah, I’m surprised that this aspect of it is somehow not being talked about more. We’re really still doing the “if talented injury prone guy can just stay healthy this could work” thing huh?
