uh, yeah, twitter is my entertainment. I didn't slash their tires.

Yeah. I can’t believe how many people blocked out what 2010-on era Ozzie was like.

Sox twitter was so weirdly pro Ozzie last night I had to unfollow people.

I'm still super nervous about WR and the potential to improve it in the offseason. The last few offseasons have found a disgruntled WR to snag, but this last offseason so many of that group were locked up (hence me moving toward Evans in a screwed cap). You have maybe Calvin Ridley forcing a trade but if I'm the Falcons I would instead hope to draft a QB and go into his rookie year with Pitts, London and Ridley. I would bet that Baltimore sells out for DJ Moore making it difficult on bears whose best weapon may be a high 2nd round pick in any trades. There is a chance Deandre hopkins gets cut / traded with az's freefall But that's what makes a trade for Elijah moore scary. If you have to send a 3rd, you really handicap yourself in a potential star moving. In FA, gallup is the only one remotely interesting and he needs to show a lot more progress. Ideally you don't enter the draft with only one possibility in the first round because you may be run out of it.

I'm actually glad, shows they are just doing a wide range search people asked for. The manager position is weird, I don't think good ones gained that much from prior stops as third base or bench coaches. It's more it raises their floor knowing they've interacted and had to lead players to some extent.

I looked into some of the playoff org bench coaches. Not against him, but big knock to me is his role as infield instructor. The yankees this year waived the white flag on that infield D, sacrificing offense for kiner-falefa. The defensive talent was poor, but not sure I could say he got the most of it.

Have been enjoying watching hawks a bit. Kind of amazed, considering how I heard they wouldn’t field a professional hockey team, how enjoyable they are. Like Domi just going after Jost for hitting Kane.

Got another guy I wish would have come up: Chase Utley I think my total now is : granderson, beltre, yadi, utley

What is happening

Ok then

JR clearly wanted Tony

Plz long.

I’ll take this game. Now we can see fields as the entire offense hurt by poor talent, vs games like v Houston where he was hidden. Man, that draft class now looking rough. Zach Wilson had two games straight under 110 passing yards, but didn’t hear about the national embarrassment that the jets passing game is. Funny that.

“This guy is different” is apparently the latest ad nauseum slang usage in nfl media.

I just remember at the time people being like “well $125 would have been ridiculous overpay” when it was like $1.25M more per year, and, as we learned, a much smaller gap than the gap in production between him and our number two FA option Dallas Keuchel. It was our last shot to use the excess budget space to allocate to a star since Hahn then after went after his comfy b/c free agent classes, covid, etc soaking it all up. Truly a devastating moment for the rebuild. Not a doubt in my mind we are in ALDS with wheeler in 2020 at least, hopefully more.

He talked about the Sox signing Rizzo. Just a great, smart man.

I still don’t think they do it but it’s impossible to not take seriously. You have to give it at least a 10% chance, but I’m personally at like 25% it happens

Everyone at the time knew it was horrendous. And we were right. Won’t accept “who knew?!”

I forgot another person I wish would go into managing: Granderson. Hes back home in Chicago now doing. Incredible charity work. Probably better for everyone that way, but damn if he returns to the game I hope it can be on the Sox.

Unfortunately what I’ve learned from Hahn et al is that people don’t get better at their jobs in a JR org, so you have to assume Ozzie will return at his floor.

And this is all aside from his incredible tendency to self immolate in front of the press.

Lmao god this franchise

I uh, would give more than a 7th, so that's why the bucs would trade with the bears. You get a receiver for cheap next year, when there are 0 wide receivers available in FA, can front load an extension before Fields is needed to be paid. OR you get a comp pick the next year to ease the pain. But there is no help in free agency next year. The receivers int he first round are all relatively small, and this team desperately needs a big bodied guy that isn't just a possession receiver.

It really just seems like a free for all for the most part, and things like COVID and a lockout probably impact this team more than the ones that take control over more prescriptive tools and programs for the players to follow. Did not really have a positive view on how this group of players prepared for the year with the lockout in a year they were expected to compete for the championship. Except Cease ilysm

Did we win yet
