Is this a Rorschach Test ? Twins looks like a spade, Brewers an hourglass, Yankees, the Superbowl Trophy, Bluejays, a Mushroom, Diamondbacks looks like Italy, Tampa Bay Rays actually looks like a Ray. Tigers if you count the circle too looks like it's 7:15 on a clock. The A's look like a clock at 2:35 with a second hand at 25 seconds.The Sox looks like the head of a pick axe.

I don't know what we discussed in the past and my position then. You would have to find it and show me. Every season is different and my opinion is based on any particular season and how I foresee future seasons. If I did say something like that it was because I had no faith in the FO to sustain the "multiple championship" window Hahn spoke of. because I know the Sox always find a way to turn things bad. I do not relish being correct one iota. This 2022 season is a failure. It has been failing since mid 2021. That's enough time to know they don't have enough health , talent, Left handedness , good defenders, youth to sustain this window. It's all been crumbling. Teams that crumble usually keep crumbling or make changes. If you want to stay the course with this bunch I understand your thinking. There are no good minor leaguers available. It isn't easy to find them but somehow teams like Tampa Bay can always trade vets and operate on a shoestring budget to content in the toughest division in baseball. Minnesota and Cleveland have done it spending less than the Sox. It's not easy to admit the Sox have failed and knowing that I don't expect a purge or even if there was one for it to succeed. The Sox are once again mediocre and in the past that meant a rebuild. Even though the Front office who built the mediocrity have managed to once again build the team right back to mediocre after 2 years in the playoffs. I don't have faith they can get the team back into the playoffs with a minor tear down but in this division it's only a hill not a mountain. But that hill has proven in the past that it's more like an obstacle course to them.

The point is to get younger and cheaper. How much longer do you think some of these veteran players are going to last. Trade them while they still have value. Hahn has made the team older, slower, more right handed and worse defensively. What's the point in that if it doesn't help you win ? Teams do pretty well getting BP pieces without spending the kind of money the Sox have spent on them.

I'm sure it was but when you're talking epic bible movie it wasn't. More like wrath of God stuff followed by much much worse when the Egyptians couldn't be convinced to let the slaves go even after the frogs and locusts.

Frogs falling from the sky isn't ?

Perez was laid up for a little while. Maybe was hurting before they Il'd him. Those catchers do get more then their fair share of bumps and bruises.

Trout said Peguero was tipping his pitches . That might explain some things.

Not everyone knows the Bible. Maybe if you had said locusts ?

Hey he copied me I just made a post about the exact same thing this afternoon.

Tim pulled it again but got the hit this time.

wow a hit from each side of the plate. Has he done that recently ?

5 HR 9 doubles but I'm sure many of them have been to the right side.

I'm surprised the Angel's announcer knew that. Not many would.

My exact thoughts only I thought more about him trying to pull it. That would be fine if he could get a hit and even better if it's extra bases.

Nothing wrong with that . Right now he's one of the best hitters on the team.

Holy Moly Robert tells us to STFU lol

Whatever Seby tapped into to become a consistent power hitter in the minors and now here, I recommend it to the rest of the Sox.

Our third best OPS player in June among players with over 50 AB's !!!!!

Maybe that batting stance was designed to make him a better 2 strike hitter and lay off stuff outside because it looks so far away. But if that was the reason for it it may have made him hit for a batter average but zapped his power. The Menchino way because it probably helped him stay in the league but it's useless when dealing with bigger stronger more talented players.

He would still have to be more selective. He has 2 walks in a month and none in a couple weeks.

The thing is he's got a decent batting average and knocking in runs but it's empty without walks and power. He's a guy capable of 40 HR's but now a singles and doubles hitter.

And pretty bad against fastballs too aren't they ?

I asked you to tell me your plan on who plays and who doesn't. You didn't do it. Why ? because the roster as currently constructed wouldn't win no matter what you suggest. You can send Burger and Sheets down and it's accomplishes nothing to make the team any better. Time to sell. I'm not the only one who thinks so. But eventually you will come around because that's what you do when the overwhelming majority thinks so too.

You are just copping out. You never offer anything definitive. You speak in generalities based on the popular sentiment. It's not popular to say anything bad about Vaughn so you don't do it. You're yellow.

They are always on the market if they can play 2 ways they don't necessarily have to be fast but the better ones usually are. Contenders don't need them because they aren't ready. They need MLB talent. You replace them with the guys you traded for. That's why you trade them. Or you just pick up others trash. It's not like you're trying to win many more games this season after you make the trades. You make one for one trades or get 2 pieces for some of them. There will be enough bodies. World Championships mean a lot to some teams.
