Lockport loses a close game to Oswego, 10-7. Mount Carmel is going to destroy Oswego. Sad but true…

This is probably the fairest assessment. But if he breaks out this season, you deal him. Sox aren’t winning anything in the years Vargas will be here until he hits free agency.

St. Rita went 5-4 in the regular season. Brother Rice beat them 24-10 early in the season. But now, they have gotten hotter than s%*#. Very nice for both teams that Mount Carmel moved to 8A this year. 🤣

Thanks! BR won on defense, OL, and running game. CJ Gray couldn’t throw the ball at all. 3 INT’s. But Lansu couldn’t do anything against the BR defense. Kameron McGee is ridiculous. He put so much pressure on Lansu and made him s%*# himself. CJ Gray gave the credit to the OL for their play in the postgame interview.

No idea what got into St. Rita. They were mediocre in the regular season and have gone crazy in the playoffs. They are whooping Batavia 34-10 in the 3rd quarter.

Wow, Fenwick just won in sudden death 28-27. Both teams scored from the 10 yard line. Nazareth went for a run up the middle for the 2 point conversion and the win instead of kicking the point after for the tie and Fenwick stuffed them to win.

This NFHS feed for the Batavia at St. Rita game is fucked. It’s in slow motion.

Doubtful, and would basically be the stupid Andrew Vaughn decision all over again. Montgomery has a total of 517 plate appearances in the minors.

A rebuilding team trading young talent for a 33 year old lefty reliever. Gotta be the dumbest idea ever. Getz a fucking clue.

I have confidence that between Jerry not spending any money and Getz making awful trades, that they’ll both manage to hit the promised land of a fourth straight 100+ loss season.

You could say that about any prospect. Getz gave up a 19 year old pitching prospect for 33 year old reliever and got 31 innings and a -0.5 bWAR out of him. It was a horrendous trade.

Now you’re getting it. 🤣

Fajardo is currently the Red Sox #25 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and likely moving up soon.

Yes, yes he does.

Hill is a nothing burger. He turns 30 next month.

Maybe he’s going to Japan or Korea? He could crush it there.

Anyways, how about that Booser trade? Good job, Getz… https://www.milb.com/player/yhoiker-fajardo-823369

I believe this was the reason he wasn’t traded. His daughter’s doctor was in Chicago. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQrdbyVjqNz/

I wanted to share these old pictures from when my son (#96) was in grade school and played with many of the current Downers Grove North HS players for the Downers Grove Panthers (Bill George Youth Football League). Quite a few current DGN players were on the team. #2 is Owen Lansu and #24 is their RB Caden Chiarelli. The head coach with gray hair and glasses is Lansu’s dad. Oh, the irony of the last picture. How crazy is it that life brings you back full circle?

Thought this was a cool pic from earlier in the season. BR QB CJ Gray and the beastly OL that protects his ass…

I do think Getz is doing the right thing by acquiring guys like Vargas, Mead, Pereira, [Canario 🤣], etc., but make a decision and either go all in on tanking or don’t. Jerry was and is never going to approve enough spending to make this team a contender until he sells it. So as the GM, don’t make short-sighted moves like Mena for Fletcher, or Fajardo for Booser. He should never be in the situation to trade another young prospect for an older reliever. It makes no sense for where this team is and where it will still be in 3-4 years. If we are even talking about trading Vargas, that’s all the proof I need for this post…

So if he breaks out after this season, do you keep him or sell him high? The timeline of Ishbia taking over tells me to sell him high. But for right now, I doubt trading him gets you much so it probably isn’t worth it.
