  1. Eloy heating up. Hopefully he can hit the s%*# out of the ball and get a good haul in a trade.
  2. Beating the Twins never gets old. Get it done.
  3. That would be like a home less man's version of the Ray's and hell it might win 5 more games than this current Sox team.
  4. That's a good prompt. I think for myself I'd have to see like 7 in a row. Hell, make it 10.
  5. Can you change your name to ohtanis hat?
  6. Narrator: actually you can, they all suck.
  7. Rios really doesn't belong to be fair. He was a good player for most of his time here.
  8. Imagine being told a year ago the Sox would be 13 games under .500 on May 2nd and they would be promoting Billy Hamilton and Alex Colome to the big team.
  9. Well at least Joe Kelly is finding the target off the field.
  10. There's literally nothing they can do. Nobody is making trades this time of year and we have absolutely nothing in the high minors. This is a bad team that will continue to be bad to mediocre until July at which point there will be a fire sale.
  11. We're not even changing out deck chairs on the titanic, we're changing out urinal pads.
  12. Are you fucking serious? This reads like an onion article of an out of touch billionaire owner. We are straight fucked. It doesn't matter if he fires Hahn, he'll find another clown.
  13. If your account is under 30 days old, you can't make new threads. That's what I would do.
  14. Let's bring this guy back, those glasses are back in style.
  15. There's a lot of HS kids in those drafts we had high picks that are blowing up as well. Opportunity cost.
  16. Vaughn is 44 runs below average defensively since he came into the league. That's -4.4 fWAR right there. That's amazing. And the Sox thought he was maybe an OF!
  17. I really don't understand this thread. I mean I do, I guess, because Jose is Jose -- but Vaughn has not panned out how anybody would have hoped. When you draft a 1B/DH only type in the top 5 you sure as hell are hoping they can at least hit 30 HR a year and get on base enough to produce 2 WAR. So far, Vaughn has not done that. He's negative fWAR for his career. He's still young enough to where you hope with some adjustments he can hit more fly balls and the power will come, but comparing him with Abreu doesn't make much sense. It's not like the Sox hit a grand slam here. They were outbid by an actual good franchise on Jose, and his replacement still is yet to have a positive fWAR season. The joke is still on the Sox. The Astros can eat Jose's contract no problem if they need, and they have hung a couple banners in the last 5 years regardless.
  18. I was curious if anybody had bested MB's 236.7 IP in a season since 2005. Turns out he didn't even lead the league that year. It was Livan Hernandez with 246.3 Since then, it's been bested half a dozen times or so. Although I do not think we'll see a 240IP season any time soon. The last one was in 2014 with David Price clocking 248.
