They could have won more games in the regular season and then not been in the wild card round.

At least the Sox could steal a game.

Been less successful than the Sox thus far.

Is Tim Elko not an option? He has to replace one of Sheets/Vaughn, right?

Crochet, obviously. And Wilson. Foster too, I guess. That's it.

I hope the O's get swept out of the playoffs just because of those posters that were here.

The Royals were under 500 against the rest of the league, so absolutely.

How is TA's career arc any different? He was good here, and then he fell off a cliff because of injuries or his own personal doing. And yeah, Schultz should absolutely try to leave. It's not like the Sox have a recent history of dominating lefties. Cmon. It's like the only good thing they currently do.

Still very mad that they didn't go for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It was such a stupid move. They were shellshocked the first two away games.

Yeah I'm not completely writing him off yet. If he is this bad halfway through next year then yeah....that's probably it.

He's been part of owner of it since the beginning. It's been through 2 or so other name changes.

So what part is the Wirtz family playing in all of this? I'm all for calling the Sox a clown shoes organization because they are - but I don't know if a website not up to people's standards is something to get up in arms about. If people want to be upset about where and how it's being broadcast, I get. But as someone who knows a little about that, Sox/Bulls/Blackhawks could be doing everything right in these talks and the cable companies could still be telling them to f*** off for whatever reason. It's a very messy landscape right now.

We are actually arguing about the semantics of what makes a website a website.

It launches at 5.

There is currently a website there that has videos and their show descriptions and overall information on how to watch. What else do you want on day one? I’m sure as soon as their studio shows start they will be posting even more videos and whatnot. Seriously what else do you want? A store? Mini games where you try to convince tax payers to fund a stadium?

That’s a troll account. He also tweeted that Montoyo was taking over and that wasn’t true.

Sorry, I wasn't aware we were pulling out dictionary definitions of words. I'll remember that next time.

Yeah, excuse me for saying they actually are on multiple platforms - which is a truthful statement.

They are difficult to figure out when you are also trying to leverage against non streaming options. Look at the battle ESPN just went through. That was difficult because they are launching their own DTC to compete against, basically, cable companies. It's not as black and white as you are making it.

They are going to be up and running on multiple platforms. They will be on antenna, DirectTV, and Astound or whatever it's called. Once again, I'M NOT DEFENDING THEM, but they are not "full of it" in that regard. And if you guys want to keep caring about the website, then go nuts. You can have that one. They have a shitty website. Congratulations.

Yeah. I just said it was difficult. They are working on it. They are not the first or last team(s) that will deal with this.

I don't understand how saying "yeah getting TV deals right now is extremely difficult" is defending him. Some teams have straight up given up on getting themselves on linear television and are just doing straight DTC. I can state the facts of the industry. It doesn't mean I'm defending him.

I accept that the TV industry is changing and getting deals done like this as a RSN is very hard to do? Yes. And I accept that a TV website doesn't matter and at no point did I ever visit CSN's website or even know the URL? Also yes.

Go click on it again. Looks like your anger really made them work harder and add more.

There is a working website. You are able to click on it and it gives you information. I'm sorry they don't have clips from their non-existent shows like the website example Paulie gave has? Also - getting cable agreements is incredibly hard right now. The whole system is going through massive changes. ESPN was just off air on one for a few weeks for a dispute. Quite frankly, they are already on more distributors than I thought they would be.
