I gotta tell ya...this was awesome.
I also can't remember the last time baseball fans were like "THIS IS AWESOME YOU GOTTA SEE THIS" and not "Yeah well it's an acquired taste"
Soxtalk circa Gordon upon call-up in 2009: Hall of famer
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2010: He just got jerked around! You can't expect someone who played shortstop to handle...second base or something!
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2011: Gordon can't handle the majors mentally
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2012: DFA Gordon
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2013: DFA Gordon
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2014: I am so glad we traded Gordon
Soxtalk circa Gordon 2015: You know...Gordon might be the best player on this miserable, miserable team. He plays a pretty nice 3rd base!
Ohtani still coming over to US despite our dumbass owners trying to rig rules against paying him just because he had to prove he is the best, prove he is the best, then win for team Japan in this.
All time great sports figure.
He’s pretty cool. Raw because of his army commitments, but you see him on the field and can’t help but be intrigued. He was rumored as a second round pick but he’s definitely a guy that could be a much later pick. Could be years before he’s productive.
The Braves just chose Arcia to be starting SS over grissom. If Grissom isn't a starting SS with the lack of shift, i'd def want sox to see if they could acquire him to be a 2b.
It's amazing how every year I go thru same thing:
- Spring Training starts - watch entire games, very excited
- Post Week 2 spring training - negative value. Actively resent that games are played.
- Week Season Starts : LETS GOOOOOOO
