Yermin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yermin's 1st start ever in MLB at DH !! Join me in picking him in the Pick To Click ! Of course it's Vaughn 1st start too so do whatever you desire. I'm going with Yermin .

Well the real problem is there's nothing to suggest much of anything about Vaughn against MLB pitching . That's why veterans usually are pinch hitters and not a guy looking at his 1st MLB AB.

Right but the whole reason he didn't start was because of matchups and against Inglesias wasn't a good matchup either. If you're looking for 1 swing of the bat to tie it up or a walk I understand thinking Vaughn. But then its probably best to pinch run for him with Hamilton if he draws a walk or singles.

That was a great game thread. Gio was pitching great and a lot of people were loving it . At the end if was a typical game thread but that's to be expected. Even if you have stuck up for Madrigal you have to be disappointed in the guy. Turns out Leury did nothing to make anyone believe he should be batting 6th from the left side. There were a few Collins haters but it wasn't too bad. I think most are OK with him, showing he can make more contact and he'll show power and get walks. Ragah you'd be a lot better off if you just talked baseball and left the social commentary and the "poor me" I'm always getting attacked thing at home. Everyone knows game threads are hotbeds of meatball comments but yesterdays was mild and a lot of funny stuff was said. Obviously it's in your nature to argue but once you start arguing about how other people argue like they aren't following some crazy argument rules it gets pretty bad. No one follows rules. We take potshots, use sarcasm, insult. You really need to just let it go . I can see getting into extended arguments once in a while but you do it all the time. Learn to let go. So what if you think someone is being illogical or their analogies suck. After a couple of exchanges just say "this is getting nowhere" and just stop or agree to disagree. You also put yourself on a pedestal like you are better than others. That never goes over very well. Just sayin' bro a look in the mirror once in a while helps and that goes for everyone .

Who was supposed to hit for either one ? Jake Lamb ? Maybe for Leury but if Leury gets on that's a lot of speed and you only need one run.

You got the Spanky blast !

Tied Mazara's HR total from last year already .

Mr. ANderson

It's getting up to 85 degrees today in So Cal. It'll be around 60 degrees by game time.

What hositility ? Merely pointing out it didn't match the OP's criteria for boldness. From Balta: I don't want to hear in this thread how Minnesota and Chicago will come down to the wire or Luca$ Giolito will come in 2nd for the Cy Young in here - too many people expect that.

Sox winning the World Series against the Padres was the the setup to the other 2 things I said about holding Tatis and Machado hitless and Reinsdorf giving Soxtalk the finger . It's called setting up the punchline. As I'm sure you are aware there has been quite a bit of Padres envy and much consternation over the loss of Tatis and not getting Machado. So that made it silly and funny more than a real prediction. Just in case the humor was lost on you. I did give Jack credit for the the Rodon prediction by saying in a roundabout way, that it was the only 1 of the 6 predictions he made. Keuchel 's drop off is bold but it feels more like a setup for if he does fall off he can point back to the bold predictions thread and say " I predicted it " because he doesn't like him.

Think of it this way. At least you didn't wait til the last second and gave yourself a little time to work out any kinks you might have with it.

Work on your silly definition. If you don't like the guy it's more like predicting you were right to dislike him. The rest is bold .

It's sure not silly and its like 1 of 6 things you said . Most of what you said was your regular thread material . Saying Rodon will be 2nd best is just a continuation of Lynn and Keuchel dislike. I actually kind of like a starting pitcher who put up a 1.99 ERA and got the Sox into the playoffs. It's a performance that was far far better than a lot of SP's the Sox have acquired.

90ish wins is expected, Engel's never been an everyday player and Eloy is injured for most of the year. Bold as fuck .

I thought that this would be a fun thread not like every other thread. This was a chance to be silly. Who gives a fig if you don't like Keuchel or Lynn upon hearing it for the 100th time or that you like Giolito . So Moncada, Giolito, a 5 tool CF uber prospect perform well . The sun will rise in the morning . BOLD !

This is going so well. Yoan Moncada is going to be great. So bold that 5 people have said it already. Boring ! Show a funny bone for chrissakes ! Kylle props for Ron joke.

I like it ! Let's hear about this appearance.

I didn't question you unceasingly on your stance . They just aren't bold according to Balta's criteria. Also unless Vaughn is extended very soon . I will be right about that too that an extension wouldn't be coming before Opening Day.

If the idea is to make a bold, outlandish type prediction why would someone expect to be agreed with from anyone ?

1/4 of the posts don't qualify. Hendricks leading the lead in saves and Bummer leading in holds ? Timmy being MVP and Moncada top 5 in MVP just to name a few. Timmy came in 5th last year in MVP votes and Moncada got MVP votes in 2019. We got some wet noodle ideas about the definition of bold even after your qualifier.

96 and 1st. Pitching leads the way.

Sox win the World Series by beating the Padres 4 games to none !! Tatis and Machado are held hitless . Reinsdorf gives Soxtalk the finger !
