Stoney "45 minutes" ?

This new obsession with k's has turned so many pitchers into nibblers. A kid with that many plus pitches doesn't need to throw so many pitches.

More 1 to 7. That's why I think it's a slider.

there goes the change!

I think it's a slider. Regardless, whew. He's changing speeds with it too.

Is that a slider or a change? Its fuckin nasty

Athletes are weird.

Hahn's best moves have been financial. As it stands, I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Although on the surface, it looks really dumb.

That's a good point. I don't think anybody would argue that he's not ready. That's not the point. The point is that it doesn't make sense to lose a year of value for no tangible reason.

Listen to the opposing team's broadcast. I really enjoy doing it because they often give a different perspective on Sox players.

If they bought out his arbitration in exchange for bringing him up this year, then it makes sense.

No. It really doesn't.

Uh, nobody said to "hide him in the minors forever." That's what we call a strawman. I care, man. I care because there's value in an extra year. I care because it looks like a waste of value for no reason other than placate the annoyingly vocal shortsighted side of the fanbase. There's no logical reason to waste a year of service time for a team 32 games under .500.

This might be the move that finally makes me turn on Hahn.

How much value is that extra year worth? A top 50 prospect? It's such a weird and bad move.

Wow, this is dumb.

If you can trade a high risk pitcher for 2 or more top 50 prospects, you always do it regardless of what stage of a rebuild you're in (unless he's truly elite). I like Rodon. I don't like Rodon's shoulder.

You guys might not think drilling hitters is part of the game, but the players do, and that's all that really matters.

It's part of the process. Not a big deal.

I'm glad he hit the guy in the ass. Shows good control.

Did you just call somebody a hater? I've never seen you post something positive. Not once. In fact, you have more than 1 account just to hate. That's just weird, dude.

At least he's starting to direct his ire towards Luis Robert. He's understanding that diversifying the trolling makes him appear to be somewhat less obsessed.

His hair has definitely improved. Ya gotta admit, that is one good looking man.

The k's record isn't that impressive when you consider the top 31 in k's in a season have all happened in the last 17 years. It's just the way the game is going.

Ya don't say?
