James McCann still blows away Tauchman and Slater but yeah, Hahn mostly signed veteran bums that never had that magical season.

Whoopsies!

The Sox have tended to lose many games in hilarious and unique ways the past two seasons. At least they are still providing some funny moments for their viewers.

I used to think you were one of the biggest optimists on this board. I even thought you were a bit homerish in thinking that every Sox prospect would succeed. Now I just think that you are a realist. Either I was just wrong of Jerry has finally beaten all the optimism out of you. 😢 😉

I’m not certain but I thought many people predicted around 50 wins? They are on pace for 54 wins right now.

I think I’d still rather have Canario playing RF over Tauchman and Slater. The only value Tauchman and Slater have in a non-competitive season for this org is what they are traded for at the deadline. Chances are more likely than not that whatever return Getz gets for them won’t be worth much of anything. Old veteran platoon bats / backups just don’t return much, and that’s what both Tauchman and Slater would likely be for contending teams. Is anyone still excited about Jarold Rosado? We had one big trade chip in Robert, but unfortunately he crapped the bed.

I don’t think we will want to see how a .195 batting average at Charlotte translates to the MLB.

I believe you mean “dwelling on much of the history of the franchise” under Jerry. 🤣

He conveniently left that out. I also did say 4 years for Getz, not 3. It’s obvious he’s going to already have two bad seasons under his belt. And anyone that wouldn’t trade Getz for Epstein is insane.

Cool for air rifles, bad for batting averages. 🤢

Tyler Osik, and it does seem like he was telling the truth in hindsight…

Once again, records don’t matter. Getz has a grace period of like 4 seasons before he is supposed to try to win.

Just what we need, another bad 33-year old lefty to go along with Booser.

A little late in the game for this request, no?

What did he say that wasn’t true?

And if everyone knew those guys were/are injury-prone, people shouldn’t have blamed those injuries for the downfall of last season in numerous posts.

Am I crazy to think they should just keep Lee as a backup catcher? He’s still pretty young but would he even return that much in a trade? Also, isn’t it possible that one of Quero/Teel becomes more of a 1B/DH if they both wind up being very good hitters and you want both starting? All three could catch and it would keep them all fresh. I’d rather have a third catcher with an arm and some pop on the roster than scrubs like Crapa and Palacios.

Who isn’t a fan of Red Sox pitcher Richard “Dick” Fitts?

Agreed. At least someone else figured it out. 😶 My 15 year old son even thought it was a fake troll name.

Wow. Is that a real name? EDIT: Apparently it is: https://www.soxon35th.com/meet-the-team/

I’m not arguing anything. I guess we are aligned.

Are you saying that he is actually trolling all of us like, just like you usually do, as the OG Master?

It was a sad day for me when Bob ROHRMAN passed away in 2020…

Sure does. Jerry sucks, Getz sucks, and your favorite team sucks as a result.
