This cuts deep.

As player-manager? Either way, I'm game.

To rookie ball? Oof….

I wonder if you can trade your All-Star rep spot….

I disagree. Pham was the only thing between us and multiple parades.

Not gonna lie - I was extremely excited for about a half second when I saw this: I definitely misread the logo as part of the text.

Pham not in the starting lineup? 3-24 Pham in the starting lineup? 3-0. Clearly he was the only piece standing between the Sox and multiple parades.

If that were the case, they should invent the intentional strikeout. Give hitters a chance to just walk away with their dignity.

Being a "former top prospect" will keep you from completely falling off the face of the earth, and someone will give you another shot. Someone will give you a minor league roster spot or an NRI to spring training to see if you can capture whatever it was that got you noticed to begin with. It won't help bring up your trade value as a big league player.

He was pretty durable up to that point. Additionally, the Sox in the 2000's were pretty well known for their durability under Herm.

Keep it up @flavum!

Just shows how hard you gotta work to earn the title.

Before Pham: 3-22. On pace for 19 wins. With Pham: 3-0. On pace for 137 wins and 0 losses. It's just math.

That’s a horrible take, and I won’t sit here idly and watch you spew this nonsense.

Yes

Maybe not the whole org, but at least Steve Stone’s Twitter seems to be.

Plus he'd have been one of our better bullpen arms this year.

You know - the one thing that I want to give Getz credit for is that "Project Birmingham" experiment he did 2 years ago. I'm a huge critic of the Sox's minor league development program basically treating the minors like a warehouse rather than a factory... but that Project Birmingham thing, to me, was the right approach. Identify things to work on during games, then shift your focus to developing your game through deliberate practice and training. But generally, I completely agree with you on this quoted portion.

Trying to model us after the Cleveland Browns may be the darkest suggestion yet.

That was when you were still pretty active on worldcrossing, too.

Ha. It's not like putting wilson in there was a bad move or anything (he's actually been good), but the bullshit quote to try to justify it and make excuses like thisil is just embarrassing.

The joke writes itself with this '24 Sox bunch.

By my calculation, the Sox should lose the next 2 before winning one more. Started the season by losing 4, winning 1. Then lost 5, won 1. Then lost 6, won 1. They've now lost the next 5, so we have 2 more to go.

I mean, they could just try to bullshit us that he's in the booth, and there'd be a compelling case to believe them.
