dick man isn't a bad player I've been saying it for two years. Not a good player but he's a big leaguer and can have some moments. Passes the eye test more often than not at SS as well.
the sort of moronic ass shit usually reserved for a Sox away half of the 8th inning. That shit used to drive me fucking nuts as a position player in college.
Well if you're a certain type of materialist you think the last scoop of corn flakes he had for breakfast has an effect, so how far you want to go here friend?
There are so many parallels to the Twins' 2021 campaign here on this board and on the field for the Sox in 2022. Literally the exact same comments are being posted here as on the Twins board last year this time. Granted they were further under .500 but the run differential and overall performance was similar.
Sometimes a bunch of guys just get hurt and/or have shit years at the same time. Sometimes you have absolutely no depth to weather the storm. This is a bad team and wishcasting career slash lines on the lineup at this point (or health) is a fool's errand.
Sox bingo:
injury
starter blowup inning
three up three down
three up three down under 10 pitches
more than one error in an inning
moncada grimace (when playing)
I could go on.
Jason Benetti, guy who doesn't know a homerun off the bat after watching a few hundred of them over the last three years, but that is a real scout's scout and knows when a guy has changed his true talent.
They aren't going to resign him to you take what you can get imo. You either get the A- type and a couple lotto tickets that he'd garner at the deadline or you just let him walk or allow an injury or lack of performance to affect his value in the offseason.
I'm not going to lie, I'm ready to trade him now. This team is going nowhere fast. This is a bad baseball team. I've seen enough of them to know it when I see it.
That shit is fine when you're catching lightning in a bottle like last spring, it's another thing entirely when you're already in a fucking dog fight just to stay above .500 and are 4-7 games back any given day.
