30 years from now there will be an art house doc making them cult favs. Their humor was incredibly weird and not what you will ever hear on a baseball broadcast again. OTOH Kyle’s critiques were objectively right. He never gave the score, innings, and would often call strike 3 at same intonation as strike 2 and I wouldn’t know there was a batter change.

This is mostly me but weekend day games I usually need to do house work so radio is easier. I used to laugh at DJ and Farmers bizarre humor but this will be enjoyable to know what is happening in the game

We discuss the new food options at the stadium. Those don’t impact winning either, but it’s part of being a sox fan (if local). So are the announcers. It’s ok to like it. And the conspiracies of the beat writers as if members of the PR team, as opposed to dudes that are just constantly cheerleaders, is so silly.

There are no good soxtalk announcer takes.

DJ always sounded more polished on national tv so maybe this is good. That said I always liked DJ and was disappointed what a jerk he was to Masur. After the way hawk treated DJ it was pretty ridiculous he was acting the same way.

Nobody cares About your opinions Jack. Can pitchers handle a full workload? Thats the question

Man every time people say this we end up signing everth Cabrera or some shit

James McCann

Over / under 5 days before Jack slots Colas in for a career as a DH only player.

And its always remarkable to me to learn McCann is from Cali despite sounding like he's from the south.

That said, I love Springer. And obviously I was on the trade for Betts lonely bandwagon. I love the idea of an outfield that just slays. It would be great fun. But the best part about Joc to me is he likely won't prevent you from getting a big upgrade should one become available. That's what I was worried about with Castellanos/Ozuna talk last year. Good not great players who wouldn't age well and would prevent you from getting a big upgrade.

If sox struggled with LHP, obviously Joc would be a terrible choice. But as it is, he's a player that can thrive on our team. And I'd rather be in a position of needing to find a platoon partner who crushes LHP should Engel fail in that role (which I don't think he will).

But don’t forget the scorched earth Deng to Miami where he let everyone know bulls docs nearly killed him

Don’t take my subtitles

...are the yanks gonna go get Realmuto?

Can’t wait to post the thread title: SHOCK JOC: Sox sign Joc Pederson

Dahl seems like a perfect pickup for the cubs.

If we are doubling up positions it's not outfield I'd want more help where I think Leury/Engel are really quality backups at this point. I'd get La Stella whose approach and versatility (and handedness) would be perfect for this team.

Especially with the NL DH still up in the air.

In dahl's All Star season two years ago he played 100 games.

Dahl had shoulder surgery in September. You won't have any assurances he is healthy if you sign him now.

AD signs long-term with Lakers. One thing I hope the bulls try is make it so players like playing there instead of constantly burning it down every time they leave.

One thing that is attractive of that to me (as someone who even mentioned trading for JBJ last year) is between Robert/JBJ/Anderson being able to really limit what is needed of Eloy. Anderson should be capable to soft hit/shallow left balls, robert can shade more to LF since JBJ can cover more of RF. Of course, that still leaves Eloy's biggest enemy: the wall. But maybe the league would allow us to put an innertube around Eloy since so much of the rest of the field is covered.

I think Joc is a perfect fit and keeps getting docked for being really bad at something the sox are already excellent at. He was bad last year, but still hit the snot out of the ball. His best position appears to be RF defensively. He's performed on a high stage and was great in the postseason, coming off a world series win. He won't be very expensive, he's easy to move off. But I am comfy with JBJ for defense where he could be exceptional in RF, but I keep having to point out that his great year offensively last year was a red hot september. He had a 76 first half wRC+ and a 151 second half wRC+.
