He loves to use PR and needless subs and then leaves himself short handed late. Just classic overmanaged idiocy.

Fucking ground hog day.

Booser up to a 5.5 ERA and we traded for this fucking guy?

Why didn't we pitch our young fireballer?

This team fucking sucks man.

Venable is puzzling.

so am i, hence the swearing.

god damnit.

If he was 24 we'd all be more than fine with him. But he's 34. Nice career. He's done and dusted tho.

blow this one open lenyn.

Great that just got Taylor another two months.

good god. robots.

Vargas is turning into a good enough hitter to just park him at 1B next year imo.

Absolutely nothing in his profile to suggest he's not just another AAAA type. No idea why we waste so much fucking time with these vets.

He makes El Caballo and Q look like gold glove LF. Never seen a guy so bad at going back on a ball at the MLB level in a corner. A fairly short one at that.

Score some runs assholes.

He's out of excuses. He's just a really bad fielder average at best hitter that was propped up by playing in that LF at Fenway.

It feels like we haven't had a lead in a month.

I'd imagine JRs everyday energy levels and cognitive abilities are similar to most people in their middle and late 80s. Even if he's in the 90th percentile range for his age group, and I've worked with some of these people in my line of work, they at best are capable of 3-4 hours of sustained output a day and need constant supervision as they will make cognitive mistakes or forget key things. It's just reality of being that age. He was always cheap, but he wasn't always this bad at running a franchise. He was never great to be fair, maybe never even average, but he wasn't historically bad.

Big storms all across the country it seems. Lotta games wiped out.

We continue to have the absolute dumbest "roster crunches" in MLB history. Just fucking cut Slater and Capra and bring up Fletcher and Baldwin. This isn't complicated. Slater is the wrong side of a platoon and sucks anyways. At least baldwin and fletcher are LHH and under 30.

changed the title, let it be mods please.

We are despereate for a position player superstar. Someone that can just hit 280/350/500 with 30 HR and solid defense. Someone to give us a nice 5 win head start on replacement and more importantly reason to tune in every night. Maybe Colson can be that guy, maybe his younger Montgomery can be, maybe even Vargas, but right now at best we have a few solid regulars and 7 or so guys position player wise with no future and no past that play too often.

It's a disheartening fucking situation we are in right now.
