Actually, I found flaw in your logic here. You're pointing to a decision the Sox made as positive evidence for your argument.

One of the lone bright spots.

Did they keep whoever was running their social media accounts at the end of last year?

55 save opportunities. Likely by far the fewest in MLB.

That's gotta be worth like $25 today, no?

I have to double check the forum rules, but I'm pretty sure this automatically makes you 2nd in line to Chief Admin of the board.

Yeah, but it'll play on the Sox.

I was going to make a joke about "spring training wins don't count," but even with those wins, 81 still seems unrealistic.

I'm guessing 47 wins.

yeah, I think this team's capable of hitting 10+ home runs.

A fast walk is a 15-minute mile. An 8:00 mile is moderately fast. For someone who is in decent shape (not a lot of extra weight), they could do one mile in 8:00.

I was, but trying to be the first one on the “he’s the worst owner in sports” bandwagon for the Sox.

Isn’t Justin the one who just bought a bunch of Sox shares?

Sell the team, Justin

To be fair, Crochet only had slightly more than a 0% chance of being as good as Crochet last year, per most assessments (mine included)

I mean, seems like this is the org to do it in to get your best path to the big, no?

Late to the party, but his .624 career OPS is technically a step up from the 2024 Sox team OPS of .618. Yay progress?

Thanks. Brain fart

Even that 20% is subject to capital gains.... and massively at that. Assuming he's had 20% since 1980 (which i believe is not the case), at a sale price of $20MM, that's $4M in cost basis. If the team is valued at $2B now, that gives him about a $200M stake in the team... that's capital gains tax on $196M of gains.

Come on, man. At least put some more effort into a portmanteau. Even something like Mar-Chi-Cago would have been acceptable.

I’ll watch you watch the games. Will maybe be more entertaining than watching the games.

Beat me to it.

Because it would basically be an admission of failure / "someone else's way is better."

If JR kept his shares and handed over the day-to-day control of the team to Ishbia, that would garner a s%*# ton of respect from me pretty instantly.

Do you really want to ask that?
