Trust me we feel the same about you haters have to just leave it until the parade I guess?

I'm with you. No reason to sell the A ball guys right now. That's how things can unravel on a potential 5-6 year contender. Right now team looks really strong in most areas, certainly strong enough to contend. No team is perfect and yes flags fly forever but you don't want to shorten the window selling out for one or two years.

Well if you believe the Fangraphs playoff odds standings the Sox just took the Twinkies from about a 15% chance of winning the division to under 5% and increased their own odds from about 60% to 73%. After they update I'd guess Sox are now projected to win about 91 games and would have like a 82% chance of making the playoffs. Not bad given the injuries I'd say!

apparently they are too scared to talk to him or something. more stupidity. I have to question how many media types have ever worked on a team of any sort. this isn't an industry that attracts weak willed people in general and I would be every coach on the Sox will speak up when they see something that TLR should correct or know about. It amazes me people watched the clown duos of Steverson, Rickie, Ventura and Cooper for so long and want to b**** about this new set of coaches and the manager. this is a breath of fresh air. Katz is the fucking man and it's obviously TLR has empowered him to do what he wants.

Their fans were ripping the collective effort all series as well. The Donaldson play is the perfect example of a team that is checked out and not giving great effort, for whatever reason. Not a problem on the South Side right now.

He does a lot of dumb shit but as I've said he also does some really good shit that I personally haven't seen since Ozzie. Yea they overplay the reserves and Ozzie obviously wore out his welcome and quit on the team but for a minute he was a great man manager and bullpen user. I'm getting similar vibes from TLR. And again, I've said this too: TLR having his "player managers" as the liaison between him and the club is a really smart and probably unique setup that (IMO of course) allows for a really loose clubhouse and better overall production. A far cry from Rickie pulling guys for loafing to "send a message" and then the next day not doing it when a different guy would loaf. Players see that and don't like it. I suspect TLR lets his player managers handle that shit, to his credit. And to add, the thing the solipsistic egos in the media and fan base don't get is that you don't work in pro sports as long as TLR has without knowing how to get along with many different types of people and figuring out how to put petty shit aside for the greater good. The bullshit about how he couldn't relate to TA and the Latin guys is just bullshit.

I'm obviously not a huge fan of Madrigal and you should never, ever draft for need but there is an exception to every rule and between Nick and Andrew the Sox nailed those absolutely critical high picks during the tank years. Compare and contrast with Detoilet's picks, who look like ass.

It's incredible. He's been one of the 10 or so best LF in baseball so far. He's not just holding his own, he's on pace for like a 3.5 fWAR season.

More 4D chess from Tony, put Ruiz in just to get his closer some confidence and on a roll.

Incredible. With two of their best players hurt.
