The Beast

I actually enjoyed Bernstein and Holmes and kept them on during the workday and found Parkins and Spiegel to be hit or miss. I wasn’t a huge fan of Parkins and didn’t see the draw, but I think it depends on the kind of show people want to listen to. I’m more analytical and care less about gambling. Although “Can’t Do It” was fun when that was going on.

Awful line, nonexistent run game, no offensive rhythm. Williams hasn’t looked great. Fields is 2-0 for the Steelers.

Danny Parkins is leaving the Score on Friday. It makes me wonder what they will do to replace him. Maybe they will move Bernstein and Holmes to afternoons and bring Spiegel back to mornings with another partner.

Will they break the streak tonight?

D. The Fedde return was light. Kopech and Pham probably didn’t have much value. They needed something out of the Cardinals in that deal. I don’t really understand what the direction is in the offseason or years to come. I don’t know if I believe what fathom has said about their financial issues. These trades brought some prospects back but it isn’t clear where this franchise is headed, especially if they have budgets cut further year over year. They need to become the Rays in order to be competitive.

Please get your rest and I hope you have a restful and speedy recovery.

Prove it?

Then the Sox need to morph to become the Rays or end up like the Pirates.

That all makes sense. I both can and can’t see them just filling the roster with cheap veteran players to field a team next year. I guess it depends on if the theory JR is just getting ready to sell holds true. I’m hoping there will be more flip able and Fedde types signing but I’m not holding my breath. They probably need a reset with Crochet and Robert moves since they aren’t offering extensions to either of them and then we can evaluate where there needs are from the minors, something that isn’t quite clear with the trade “returns” we had today and tomorrow. Not just every need (like a competent GM which is wishful thinking or a new manager, an obvious and realistic need) but where our greatest player needs are all things considered.

It couldn’t be much worse than the endless Machado and Wheeler threads.

So are you saying that their payroll is open next year and they should be able to afford to sign players or are you more in line with fathom’s line of thinking that they are broke and won’t pay anyone worth anything?

Co-signed. I see him and Robert being moved in the offseason, if at all.

Not sure who they’ll trade by the deadline tomorrow but I doubt it will be Crochet (maybe in the offseason). Maybe Flexen, Brebbia, Wilson, or DeJong.

I don’t really understand what Getz is doing with his transactions. I could understand Pham and Kopech not having much value, but I am having a tough time understanding how them with Fedde yielded such a low return. This organization is going to be in the wilderness for some time if they don’t make moves that make sense or develop talent. Can’t wait for Bears season.
