Been a long time since that Kelenic thread has been posted in.

Quite the strange hill to die on. New players were literally making fun of the damn thing when they walked in it. Don't really need to say much else.

Absolutely on all of this. Look, there’s plenty of things to not like about barstool but Eddie isn’t one of them and Dan is just an asshole. Hope the stoolies make his professional life rough going forward.

Yup. So if Chris thought these guys were good enough to help him through the offseason and the deadline why in the hell should I have any confidence he's going to hire anyone that's actually...good?

Driving conversation on Soxtalk by pissing their fans off? Ok, I'll stop now.

Pissing their fans off?

People who think this of themselves are almost always wrong. And you told us this team would have 45 wins by the end of July so we got to eliminate that carrying water for logic point real quick.

Year 1: Absolutely f'n horrific in every way possible. Almost every move has been terrible but hey he's fired people Can't wait to be told to wait and see next year cause it was never going to get any better this year either.

He hasn't fixed anything yet though. I'm not going to give the man any credit until improvements are actually made. All this could be like firing Rick/KW and hiring...Chris Getz.

Love it. You know they’re going to go on a “hot streak” and only get to 119 though just cause.

I mean if we're calling them contenders then the deep level of disappointment that team had should make the broadcast a whole lot worse. I'm not here to bash JS as I quite literally haven't watched enough games this year to do so but Jason absolutely made the broadcasts enjoyable. He's that good imo.

I don’t know enough about this draft to say yay or nay on the pick, I just don’t love the mindset of hey we suck at developing hitting anyways. If we’re not going to learn to develop hitters then this thing ain’t going anywhere anyways.

Ya but we have Getz and Grifol so who really wins?!

I don’t even think I unsubscribed to their emails, I think I just marked them as spam.

Throwing and breaking computers too cause nobody likes them nerds and their statistics.

To break the all time losses record for a season(well at least since the 1900’s)!

Just cause Birmingham has an awesome staff doesn't mean that's all going to translate to Chicago. Once again, you trade Crochet and we're literally starting with nothing at the major league level. To assume that the pitching is going to be good is an assumption I'm not ready to roll with it yet.

And despite that offense being mediocre or whatever we want to call Detroit they've still already scored 81 more runs than the Sox just to show how far we have to go. Look, is it possible for this team to be decent in 2-3 years? Sure I guess anything is possible. That said, when/if we trade Robert and Crochet we're literally going to be starting with nothing, nada, not a damn thing in the major leagues. We're going to need everyone that has been discussed in this thread to not only hit as a prospect but hit right away and somehow not go through early struggles for the first few years. Like I said earlier, anything is possible but the safe bet is this is going to take many years before this is a passable ball club.

And they were fading at the end of that short year too. The 2020 season was super fun for what it was but that team would have been toast in a 162 game season.

Yes! I want all the records!!

It'd be one thing if he had a legit reason to be mad but dude is just whiny cause Contreras got excited about a big play in the game. Also the fake tough guy routine is always hilarious to me.

I 100 percent need this to happen this year.

No issues with giving Sosa another shot but find it very odd to option Ramos that quickly after he seemed to be finding his footing pre injury. Oh well, Sox going to do whatever they do.

Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th time in recent memory that the Sox have just not known that their dudes can't see? I might be exaggerating that a bit but I feel as this isn't the first time this has happened with this organization lately.
