see a lot of these, and I think they are supposed to create this feeling of “wow we are so much better than last year!” But it hits different when last year we were one of the worst offenses in the 150 year history of baseball and has 41 wins. We could have rolled the exact same team back and struggled to hit marks that bad. This team is 100% more enjoyable, and I’m happy for our young hitters, but we’ll be clawing to hit 61 wins. 61 wins for any other franchise is horrific, and for us it’s being repackaged as incredible just because of our record setting ineptitude.

This is better. AL East: Yankees, Red Sox, Toronto, Phillies North: White Sox, Brewers, Twins, Tigers South: Rangers, Rays, Nashville, Royals West: Mariners, Angels, As, Rockies NL East: Mets, Nationals, Orioles, Charlotte North: Cubs, Pirates, Guardians, Reds West: Dodgers, Giants, Diamondbacks, Padres South: Cardinals, Braves, Miami, Houston This does SEC definitions of 'south' If you want to do east/west, I'd do EAST North Atlantic: Red Sox Yankees Mets Phillies Mid Atlantic Orioles Nationals Pittsburgh Nashville South East Braves Marlins Rays Charlotte NorthWest Toronto Detroit Reds Guardians Nearly all of those teams save nashville are Eastern Time Zone WEST Great Lakes Milwaukee Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Minnesota Twins South St Louis Kansas City Houston Dallas Pacific Seattle San Francisco Los Angeles A Los Angeles D Southwest Padres Rockies Diamondbacks As

Uh yeah I didn't call him stupid as a person, though he may be. I said he was dumb at baseball, which he is. He may be playing from behind with worse instincts, but when instincts are really bad, the team needs to beat common rules into you that become automatic. Like "put your foot on the edge of first base when catching the ball". There's definitely a range of quality with baseball instincts among common ball players, but nearly all of them remember that rule.

I normally don't miss a moment to point fingers at Sox for being so complacent at everything, especially PD, compared to Peers (they only judge whether they are improving against themselves, even if they are still light years behind other teams). But Vaughn will always be a loser to me. Him getting sent down was still a highlight of the year. I hope he comes back to earth eventually and sucks. He was supposed to elevate that core, they believed in him, he was lazy and stubborn and sucks. Good riddance.

Something that sucks right now is the media all deciding Caleb sucks, and obviously his camp has not been inspiring, and roughtly 100% of the time in my life when the media says a bears QB sucks and I say "they are dumb" they have been right so I'm bracing for it again.

I do wish Getz felt a little worse about how the guy in the majors who has been in our org since he was 16 (all under Getz) seems the most dumb at baseball.

What a memory haha

There you go, In AAA if Antonnacci keeps up with this, with the contact and swinging strike, I think that Meidroth's level would probably be ceiling, in that probably in that 125-200 range.

What was Meidroth ranked for Boston? 12? Good example of where antonnacci could be, (also brooks Baldwin). Thats a win though.

Yeah, 2020 wasn’t real tho

those were awesome summers though.

I really would like a lot of focus on our team on just a plan to keep his back healthy.

last year I remember listening to Mully and Haugh or maybe some inside the clubhouse where Haugh stepped in. The question was who had a better looking future, Colson or PCA. At the time, both were scuffling. PCA not doing much in majors or AAA, and Colson scuffling in AAA. By the time there was a question on here on Colson in April, I damn near wrote that it wasn't even worth thinking about Colson anymore. It was so disappointing. But others kept hope and pointed out the one thing he did well was a really good thing to have. he hits the s%*# out of the ball. And that's true, and it was what helped. The beauty of baseball is it keeps surprising you. That said, I can't remember debuts this strong since Trayce Thompson and Gordon Beckham. Baseball.

Why do people think Reinsdorf won’t play short term money for bad players after 2021-3? I know Robert isn’t a bullpen pitcher, but please.

Oh noooo what will we doooo

sox need to trade for steven kwan to improve their offers for Robert.

Sounds like just regurgitating that we know they are in on vientos imo

I think problem is the orioles have better back end guys and happier to trade. Sox just don’t have the top stuff

It’s not because Getz has a hard on, it’s because pitchers and catchers are what teams are cool giving up

I feel like all of the engagement bots on X and tiktok copped their style from Bob Nightengale. Truly not just a terrible person but also the worst of the national writers at writing.

Power is hard to get. We have very little home run power in our org. Not that concerned about re-signing a RH bat only guy in 4 years. For trading Robert, who apparently we would decline an option on, being able to acquire plausible power for the corners where we are shockingly decrepit at providing, I think it's a good bet.

I like Vientos.

Another catcher let’s goooo

One of the more fun games of the year. Miguel murdered that ball on his homer

Like “the moncada game” that I can say and we all know what I’m talking about.
