What the f*** is this guy talking about

That is…not a great looking lineup. Crochet vs Yordan and Tucker would have been good television.

Pretty interesting piece if you really want to nerd out on Cannon’s arsenal. (Can be a little buggy on mobile so Reader View is recommended if you can)

I was assuming this referred to the culture at Guaranteed Rate the company and not Guaranteed Rate Field, hence the line about a stadium name change.

What a s%*# reply.

I get a sense MLB messed with the balls again this year. League wide ERA is down from 4.33 last year to 3.97 this year and homers are the lowest since 2015.

I love Korey Lee.

Surely other females exist outside of Fran Drescher. But anyway, if unpleasant voice and talking too much are actual requirements for the job, then there are many males currently with jobs that are also unqualified.

I really like the Sox, Padres, Nationals and Rays. There are a few other ok ones, but most of the rest just feel really half-assed or safe, which kind of defeats the whole purpose for me.

So Korey Lee is just good huh. That’s pretty cool.

If they are qualified for the job, why would their gender matter?

Obviously a very different pitcher than Cease, but his frame, demeanor and athleticism reminded me a bit of him.

When a plan or idea can basically be summed up as “why bother”, it’s definitely JR. Super motivated dude.

That was beautiful

54-0 starts today.

FWIW the responses in the Athletic poll made it seem like it was done before the regular season i.e. not reflective of anything going in the Sox clubhouse this year. Anyway, go Thorpe.

Unrelated to any of this, but Buster Olney’s Twitter account is a party at the moment.

Tomorrow

Bunch of nerds that never stepped foot on a field etc etc

Ticket sales would be tanking with or without Grifol.

This has probably been mentioned already, but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason JR wants to ultimately hold onto Grifol is as a big f*** you to the fans for how much criticism the TLR managerial hire and tenure received. This would be an almost impressive level of petty, but I wouldn't put it past Jerry.

Extend Grifol

Not at all, he was just doing the interview. Plenty of reasons to not care for Schriffen as a broadcaster, but this is kind of a lame thing to just throw out there.

As the Sox continue to Sox, I find myself more and more just rooting for individual players. Would love it for Robert if he ended up on that Philly juggernaut and got more national exposure and success.
