Easy 8th for Wilson

Sosa magic

The Pope

Tauchman reason for keeping showed in 1st game after TDL.

Now I'm thinking about this 🤔

I thought he was a bum ? Took you what 3 weeks to change your tune ?

Thanks I didn't know they changed the projections as the season progressed. I thought they were just projections from before the season started.

I think you go on baseball reference. com and look at the splits and there's usually a split on how you do in all counts.

Feels not allowed.

Exactly 🤣 Tommy Lasorda didn't even curse that much when asked how he felt after Dave Kingman hit 3 HR in a game against the Dodgers in that famous rant.

My mother God rest her soul would've washed my mouth and ears out with soap for even listening to that.

Also ridiculously good numbers when hitting 0-2

Not sure that even sure that should be called a song

I think he's very good at hunting his pitch . Has started being more picky at what he swings at early in the count.

Sosa has been on fire !!

Pull rate HR.Breaks the tie for the team lead.

Pretty amazing

Have you looked at the projection lately on Robert on Fangraphs ? They are really low .For example even though his last two years he had a career year and played over 100 games both years , all projections had him playing 48 games. He had already surpassed the BsR and defensive WAR projections but far below offensive WAR projections.

Yes I do but don't know how helpful I will be. It's a nice place to see a game. A lot easier getting in and out of the parking lots there than Dodger stadium plus there's always a decent size contingent of Sox fans there. I went there for the ALCS deciding game against the Angels in 2005 . That was fun. The buddy I went with got on TV with his young son on his lap and it's immortalized on the World Series DVD, which included that full game during, the 7th inning Pepsi Fan Cam. I was right next him but it was a close in shot .

When you said if JR decides to spend etc. my odd brain told the only way JR decides to spend is if was part of his agreement with Ishbia like I'll let you have double secret control but no one can know because I want to look good to the fans before I'm gone. I know this probably goes against all kinds of league rules especially since the Ishbia have not completed the sale. But I'd love to see what debts the Ishbia's agree to pay down or off.

Never under JR very possible under Ishbia's. Also that still doesn't give you the built in advantages of being on the West or East Coast. I will say though the Cubs do a good job of attractiing overseas talent or they all don't go to the West Coast. East Coast teams have favorable media coverage . I'm no expert on the league side TV problems that the RSN are presenting but that also hurts the Sox like it hurts other small market teams . I'm just going to guess the Dodgers Mets ,Yankees and Angel or at least 3 of those teams make a whole lot more money than the rest of the league on their TV deals. Being in the Midwest in a 2 team city is worse than it is on either coast.

I've also brought this up a few times and it hurts the Sox more than the small market teams because they don't get as much money in the draft or the revenue sharing benefits as other teams in our division .

They do but they also spend money where other teams don't on players with some injury history and they buy them in bulk . So like this year they have lots on injuries but have doo much talent making so much money they hardly flinch. Their pitching staff isn't any better than the Sox this year. But it'll probably end up better because they'll have better guys coming back from injuries while the Sox traded their current best pitcher and their 2nd best starter, Shane Smith, hit the wall or was injured or both and started to fall off. He'll be back soon but I highly doubt he'll be pitching long enough in starts to pick up any wins on his record.

You too. I'm still optimistic as are many many on the board and we are not delusional or suckers . You quoting the record means zip. Things have improved since rock bottom. That's not a ringing endorsement of Getz but more rational people seem to think he done much better in his 2nd year once he started to fire and hire. My attitude is no different from the coaches and podcasters who take a more middle ground approach rather than an emotionally imbalanced one.

I'm pretty sure that was a collective effort with Colson since you can talk about the work with Fuller in AZ and also the analytics people who suggested to the coaches that Colson might be a good candidate for the Torpedo bat based on batted ball data. That only happened during the recent TB series a week ago. Props to Colson too that he was open to the suggestion .
