Lance Lynn is going to make a looooot of money. I highly doubt he's taking a 1 year deal.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 12:28 AM) nearing .270? .263 is nowhere near .270 this late in a season. still can't walk to save his life he has to hit well over .300 to have good offensive value. This is a really bad post.

QUOTE (Quin @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 10:24 AM) My newsroom (in NYC) sent a team of 8 to STL. We're expecting s*** to explode. Ya people are expecting s*** to pop off pretty bad tonight. It's not too bad yet but it's gaining steam. I got sent home early from work cause my bosses were freaking out cause I live in the middle of the city. Could be a fun night.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) Ron will fix em. That's Abreu and Moncada. Who is next? Fulmer? Collins? Given the fact he started a "Why can't we compete next year" thread, we're going to be lucky to win a game next season.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) and we don't have to see Cody Asche's face at the top of this page!!!!!!!!!! That banner is leading us to a championship.

We might be a bit ahead of schedule but next year is pushing it imo.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) For those pro tankers out there...Looking at the upcoming series with Detroit...if the Sox win today, they will only be 2 games behind Detroit in the standings. In the 4 games upcoming, none of Detroit's projected starters have an ERA under 5, and their only offense is essentially Miggy. We are however throwing Shields, Fulmer, and I'm guessing Pelfrey or Holmberg Holmberg and then probably ReyLo. With the way the Sox are hitting and playing, and with Detroit struggling mightily, coupled with how the Sox have played them this year, the Sox may actually move into 4th place in the division come Sunday. I've always been pro tank but not at the expense of our young guys. These are the EXACT type of games I want to see the rest of this season and into next. If we're getting good starts out of Gio and Yoan and TA are going to spark rallies then f*** losing. If Shields is going to go out there and get hit around then f*** winning.

We should just get our bullpen back from the Yankees and Brewers, call up Kopech and Eloy and just win the World Series this year.

Ya Avi really has had a terrific season. Every time I think he's about to tank, he just doesn't. I couldn't have been more wrong about him and I couldn't be happier about it.

Ya that was pretty awesome. All in on SD actually becoming the Kevin Owens show. Still like the idea of this Dolph gimmick just no clue where it's going to lead. New Day/Usos was super botchy but still incredibly fun. SD women's division is awful with out Becky and Charlotte in the middle of it. AJ and Tye was super fun. And I'm still not sure there's a worse pro wrestler in WWE than Jinder.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) How does it continue though? Seems to have a limited shelf life That's definitely fair and I don't have a good answer to that. He's been so awful for a while now(outside of maybe the Miz program) and this gimmick at least seems like a good fit for who he is. That said, you're definitely right that it most likely has a limited shelf life.

Haven't seen Dolph's segment from tonight yet but I like the idea of this gimmick. We'll see how it goes.

It's too bad I didn't see this thread until now. I had a weekend for the ages, even by my standards.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) This season has been 10x more enjoyable and exciting than 2015 and 2016. Yup. You and I have been on the same page about that all year. I legit haven't enjoyed a baseball season this much in a long time.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) That was dominant and probably his most impressive outing in the org. Command and movement all over the damn place, if his velocity was what it used to be I don't even know what his ceiling would be. He located his fastball so beautifully today. If he does that then he's going to be a stud. Awesome performance.

This game has been a freakin joy to watch.

The only thing that semi surprised me on first read was the Collins bit. That said, the more I think about it, the more it kind of makes sense. If Kopech is up, you're going to have ReyLo! Kopech and Gio up there, might as well get those 3 as much experience as possible working with Zack. EDIT: Also, thanks for sharing Fathom!

Well this rocks. My buddies and I are doing the Cubs-Sox doubleheader tomorrow. REYLO!!!!

I'll go against the grain here and say I'd absolutely be interested in Stanton. Obviously it depends on what you'd have to give up but even if that contract bites you in the ass in the last few years he really has a chance to put you over the top these next 5 or so when our current group of prospects is ready to make moves.

I highly doubt he's up out of Spring Training but he's going to be up soon. So is Eloy. Wouldn't be shocked if Hansen is too. Kopech and Eloy are already good enough imo to make Major League impacts. Might take them a few months to get their feet wet but Kopech and Eloy especially are going to be making impacts soon. This really shouldn't surprise anyone, players are getting called up earlier and earlier and making quick impacts too. I know everyone is jaded by the Sox lack of success with developing their own talent(especially on the offensive end) but some of these guys are going to be ready to go and Gordon Beckham shouldn't stop us from calling them up.

I'm ok with the Sasha booking surprisingly. It's going to play a part in her gimmick which I'm sure makes her go nuts at some point and turn heel. It's different but I'm ok with it. Alexa and Nia is going to be a s*** show in the ring but it should be a fun feud. And Cena is pretty much going to end Roman if they or he or whatever is going to try and make this like the Rock feud which is the feel they were trying to give it yesterday.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Isn't BABIP typically higher in the minors? I don't know for sure but you'd certainly think so.

Been a rough year with the careers of Yoan and Rodon ending so prematurely.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) That's fantastic. I've been thinking more and more about joining but this seals it. Ya, this.
