Read the posts again. I was detailing why generalizations are inaccurate.

My fault. Too much time on my hands now that classes are done.

He is learning and adjusting to the MLB.

He said that older people feel a certain way in his first post. That certainly implies all of them. I just wanted him to clarify that be was generalizing and didnt mean all of us as he was implyingl

Ok. I was just reading you "a lot of old people" comment and thought you meant a larger population. This is nothing new by the way. Every generation think the older one is wrong and rebels against it. It's all cyclical. Right now we are reliving the 60s where the man is putting us down, weed is the way to go and give peace a chance. Your kids will be back to climbing the corporate ladderand proving you wrong

You must be new here. Welcome to Soxtalk!

This isn't the place for the discussion but your view from a small sample size, again, isn't generalizable to everyone.

You might think the cliche is absurd just as I think your previous comments were absurd. This is why the generalizations are wholly inaccurate. Sure there are some that it applies to but it usually doesn't apply to the majority.

Dont make generalities because one person views it that way. While my age is not the same as his, you've never heard utter anything close to that. However, if you want to generalize should I say that based on your comments young people think they should get paid regardless of results? It's the everyone gets a trophy generation where they expect to be paid regardless if they get results. At least I tried. Does that generalization work for you?

What does this say about drawing conclusions before a season has started?

All of that is irrelevant to the point that if they aren't used to a winning team and they should relish it even more. Continually stating that they haven't won since 2012 doesn't change the ability to enjoy the winning now and as I pointed out may make it even more enjoyable.

Cost versus benefit. 90% will never help the MLB team.

There is no doubt the teams need to raise the minor league standard of living though. You are correct on the general topic. Giving them all just an extra 1000 each for the 6 months would do wonders.

I thought about replying but just decided it was better to say nothing, I'm old school that way.

I dont think so. While good nutrition can help. It's not going to turn a player from bad to good or good to great. It becomes most important as you age to stay healthy. These 18-23 year old kids either have the tools or they dont and the teams will see them.

As a 22 year old working in the minor leagues, those were the players, I tried to hang around with. It was better than eating ramen every night.

yolmer and leury will be excellent versatile backups. the Sox can carry an extra 1B/DH type player because of them.

father time is undefeated? someone has obviously forgotten about the PED era. when there are millions to be made, better living through chemistry rears its ugly head.

?

ergo, they shouldn't enjoy it? I would think they would savor it more.

new buildings in the area close around the ballpark.

Actually, since they built up around it PETCO has become more of a hitters park than before, almost average for the league.

Pitchers are afraid of Madrigal so Robert is getting all fastballs.

No doubt . Like I said I can only recall one in the MLB. I think it was mark lavalliere.

The error wouldn't count as a hit for him. Otherwise, basically the same thing.
