Holy shit a mildly racist Jim hit piece on Ozzie and a slurpfest of RV, who was the worst manager I've ever seen, well, non Bevington edition. Thanks for linking that, that was an absolute trip. My only experience with Ozzie the player was when he was signing autographs for at least 15 minutes after a Sox game at old Comiskey in the parking lot. He was incredibly gracious that night, maybe you just got him on the wrong night. Doesn't excuse his actions.

The more I read it the more I think TLR's comment of "but umpires, they are very careful about listening to complaints" is some of the funniest shit I've ever heard. I love it it's like a subtweet.

Making callouses on your fingertips in the offseason will be the new thing at this rate.

That doesn't make any fucking sense. I'm struggling to understand why they can't figure something out for the season ticket holders so they can get more tickets available.

New ZIPS from Dan Z today, Sox fans will love this: ZIPS really likes what it's seeing on the South Side, even with the loss of Robert and Eloy.

There's obviously talent there but we're seeing why it took him so long to reach the majors. When you don't produce any sort of defensive value you better hit, and right now he's just not hitting enough. That said he has the talent to turn it around. TLR sure is giving him a vote of confidence not even moving him down.

Bad launch angle and doesn't pull the ball enough.

baseball gods sided with TLR, duh.

he must really believe in Yermin, FFS.

oh yea that's right, well, we'll see. Just keep winning things should sort themselves out. NM: he was talking about Rodon and a commentator was talking about Lynn. Be nice if Jim at least clarified in the article clearly that Lynn is not QA eligible. You'd think that would be the first thing you'd mention in an article about an extension.

Hard to predict who will be sellers in a month but we'll see, isn't the deadline later now? That should help buyers.

Was talking a bit with @Quin about Rutherford in the minor league forum and yea there are a lot of guys pushing for a few spots. Ideally (at least imo) you make a consolidation trade and ship off a couple OF for a great reliever. Or, and it's just a thought -- Andrew Vaughn becomes a helluva trade chip.

ZIPS now thinks Jake Lamb rest of schedule is like a 106 wRC+ hitter, which...is interesting. Going to be quite the logjam in the OF later this year.

they really weren't tho because in both of them he missed great pitches to hit. i'm not a yermin hater or pumper but right now he's scuffling and with lamb hot and sheets also hot he should probably sit against most RHP for a week or so.

If nothing else it’s nice to see him and Sheets raising their stock for any trades. I’m not big on Rutherford if he can’t play CF he really needs to hit but maybe he will.

They can light Turnbull up. Dallas just needs to give them 6 innings and under 4 runs allowed.

par for the course anywhere really.

nah he's gonna laugh and snicker about it with his boys, which works perfectly.

totally. it's the perfect vibe. in a way it's the same shit ozzie did when he had good teams. completely different style, perhaps absolutely about as intentional, but just as effective.

He's on pace for 8 fWAR. Mercy.

totally, mariners have a pretty good selection outside the stadium whenever I go. would have ot fucking imagine the sox have some good spots if you take the train or in the lots in the way in.

I don't eat a lot of hot dogs, want to try and avoid the ass cancer but once and awhile a good hebrew national kosher or similar really hits the spot, chicago style or at least with kraut and mustard.

Just hand him a beer and let him take a bite of a good brat.

tony is a chill dude. little bit of a drunk, but a chill guy, rubs off on his players.

lol, I'd love to seen his tone in that.
