Did I miss Iriarte needing TJS? When did that happen?

I want some of what you're smoking. Must be some good s%*#.

At least it could keep Colson in the minors where he belongs atm.

Fair Enough. Murphy was an optimist lol.

I will allow Thorpe to change my mind if he can be successful, but that would make him a unicorn in today's game. These are the same circular arguments we had last year. Instead of berating others as ridiculous, why don't you just acknowledge the valid concern that his fastball just isn't up to par in MLB in 2025.

Today you need both. Also Thorpe was throwing 91-93 and was getting shelled. Safe to say that he didn't have the spin, movement and velocity to succeed at the MLB level. Once the book was out it was over. I am sticking to this until Thorpe proves me wrong. Soft tossers don't work in 2025, especially if they're right handed.

When everyone is throwing 95+, 92 looks like a beach ball.

I have no idea what they were doing with Thorpe. He simply does not have the velocity necessary to be successful at the MLB level in 2025.

Hello all, been a while. Can someone tell me something about the guys the Sox got in the trade with Boston that aren't B. Mongomery and Teel? I haven't been paying attn to the Sox much.

Paddy has been fired.

I am this close to just giving up sports. I really need it right now, but none of the teams are serious.

Why do we even care anymore? It just feels like the rest of Jerry's tenure is hopeless and the team will be playing somewhere else in 2030.

Hahaha you win this thread.

Hahn sucked. Getz is well on his way to being worse.

RSNs are dead. DTC is the future.

Definitely not a man, definitely don't want to be a man. I tried that and it didn't go well for me.

If the Sox won't stay without public funding, they're goners. It is what it is.

It's a clusterfuck for sure, but I also heard that Comcast had no interest in continuing with NBCSN-CHI.

Well, this is over for me. My folks want to go with a provider that doesn't care about RSNs. I will be unable to watch Sox games next year. I barely watched this year so it's not a huge deal. I doubt they'll get many national games. Nothing I can do. I have been a part of this community since 2005 and it seems like it's coming to an end.

Yes

Yeah, I was thinking this thread was about the poster.

I have no way to get the channel out here. Channel 62 is not of usable quality in my area. I do not control the cable in my house and we have xfinity. If xfinity tells them to f*** off, that might be the end of me as a sports fan. I have already watched fewer Sox and Hawks games than ever before. With the Bears repeating the same mistakes over and over again, I am starting to feel like I should just back off of sports entirely.

I don't think any other team will give up young hitters. Those are being hoarded like Scrooge McDuck's money.
