someone needs to check and see if the catcher is adding something to the ball every time he rubs his hand in the dirt.

this dude is unhittable right now.

someone check this guy's cap for pine tar, jesus.

tried to bunt the only good pitch to hit he saw, JFC.

that's what Twins and Indians fans are saying about the Sox tho!

You guys are way more optimistic than my hardcore tiger fan friends. Old spender illitch passed and now his miserly sons run the club. Avila is a mediocre at best GM and they have maybe two solid regulars among their position players. And tinssaapp. They got a lot of work to do.

Seems like the royals have been flashing leather against the Sox for better part of 10 years

Horse shit call changed entire ab

Get someone up moron

Horrible pitch call

Dunning has Jose contreras vibes doesn't know exactly where it's going but often doesn't matter cause it all moves a foot.

you're not arguing in good faith anymore which is disappointing. Anyways, imma take another break from Sox Talk. Cya guys in a few days.

I mean this is a message board we all are outsiders and the best we can do is infer and make reasonable conclusions. I can infer that RR is a player's manager. Just like I can infer RV was. I'll never forget watching Eaton clown off in spring training during BP and I'll never forget Eloy clowning off in LF and not getting benched. I can draw some conclusions abut what type of managers they are from what I can gather as an outsider, a fan. You can disagree but please, do not tell me you know for certain the other way based on some epistemological "how do we know what we know" undergrad gotcha.

There's a lot of carrots being passed around in this locker room: from the kind, cool uncle figure Abreu or the warm fatherly affections of Renteria. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, in fact I think most pro athletes respect that approach and react to it better than the stick. But there is a def a time for the stick. There is a fine line between playing loose and playing sloppy. The Sox, for all their talent, have had a few games this year where if you squinted you couldn't tell any difference between this bunch and RVs 2017 team (for example). Other than Dallas, I don't really think there is a strong -- whoop that ass stay focused son -- type in the locker room or the manager's office. Maybe Don Cooper but that's not enough and Cooper, lord knows, I have a lot of other issues with.

Team started sniffing its own farts.

Sano trolling fuck off

Standing pat looks bad in hindsight. clear weaknesses.

Oof.

Infuriating.

Sox are giving away games on multiple levels.

Madrigal looks like a really shitty athlete at the mlb level.

Madrigal needs to wake up.

Sick of trotting this dude out he's not competitive.

So, you're not buying what Rickie is cooking?
